LIVE THREAD: UN Security Council Meets to Discuss Israeli Strike in Syria

Fox News/CNN/MSNBC | October 5, 2003

[tioga]

I condemn violence against those who attack the innocent. If Israel is correct that it hit a terrorist training camp, I will just keep quiet.

U.S. is hitting terrorism around the world, how can we condemn others who seek to protect themselves? I wouldn't sit and play victim forever either.

[Peach]

Now he's confident all members of the Council will respond forthwith, blah blah blah.

Endangering international peace and security?

I'm laughing too hard to type more...

[padfoot_lover]

Israel's guy is up now....

U.S.: Syria supporting terror groups, developing WMD

By Nathan Guttman, Haaretz Correspondent and Agencies



Undersecretary of State John Bolton on Tuesday
vehemently attacked Syria and said it was a
rebellious country, like Iran, North Korea and
Libya. Bolton told a congressional hearing that
Syria is developing weapons of mass destruction
and supporting terror organizations, and that the
combination poses a serious threat to both U.S.
and international security.




Bolton said that the United
States must keep open the
option of using "every tool" -
code for the remote possibility
of military action - to
dissuade Syria and others from
pursuing chemical, biological
or nuclear weapons.

I'm watching that game too, but with all the commercials during a football game anymore you can easily watch both and not miss much of either.

[wizardoz]

?ing like crazy picturing just what you posted.

I also amuse myself with fantasies of splitting that black rock at Mecca slam in half during the height of one of their pilgrimages. Image about 2 million people dancing around, yelling, praying, and then suddenly ... ZOT!!!! ... smoking rock split in half by a bolt from a clear blue sky.

They all freeze and stare, wide-eyed. Smoke wisps drift up slowly ... and you can see them all thinking "what... the.... hell.....?????!!!!!"

[Coroner]

Touchdown Israel!!!

[Peach]

Too bad he has to leave after this -- they wuld have at least a slightly more difficult time looking him in the face and voting to support Syria.

[prairiebreeze]

Israeli spokesman chiding that Sec. Council wouldn't wait a day for Yom Kipper to be observed before they met so that Israel could be fully represented. This guy will leave by 5:30. I heard of FNC this is expected.

[Pukin Dog]

Israeli smackdown underway.

[judicial meanz]

Isnt that the truth.

[Howlin]

They probably do now that they have Saddam's WMD.

Exactly. We'll see them now.

[prairiebreeze]

He's giving a litany of the attacks and numbers of civilians wounded in attacks on Israel. Says it's public knowlege how Syria supports Israel. Several terrorist leaders operate freely in Damascus.

continuing....

[wizardoz]

I wouldn't leave the eyeglasses... But, that's just me.

Souvenir. Eventually I'd have a necklace made of bent-up eyeglasses from Arabs of the UN.

[Peach]

Hope that Freeper who got banned this morning for supporting Syria is listening.

[Howlin]

Zionists are evil, and should be pushed into the ocean.. We are the victims... and Isreal is evil.

Ah, a rerun.

[per loin]

I don't think that the UN should be allowed to meet during the game. It's not like this is lawn bowling or soccer.

[prairiebreeze]

Safe harbor and training facilities in civilian facilities and army bases are provided by Syria and Iran for terrorists. Taught how to make bombs, extablish terrorist cells, make suicide belts and gather intel.

............

[padfoot_lover]

Talking about how it is PUBLIC knowledge that Syria is funding, training, and supporting terrorists. He's making succinct, clear points..... GO ISRAEL!

[abner]

That's good.
