And finally, this struggle is a defining moment for the United Nations itself. And the world needs its principled leadership. It undermines the credibility of this great institution, for example, when the Commission on Human Rights offers seats to the world's most persistent violators of human rights. The United Nations depends above all on its moral authority and that authority must be preserved.

All excellent, including this mirror held up to hypocrisy.

The American government also stands by its commitment to a just peace in the Middle East. We are working toward the day when two states — Israel and Palestine — live peacefully together within secure and recognized borders as called for by the Security Council resolutions.

Could THIS be the reason Israel "observed the Sabbath" rather than "go to class"?

Actually, I'm not sure.

Truth's arrow, perfectly aimed.

I watched the speech this morning and it was even more awesome then the others! He basicly told those clowns in the audience that this is REAL serious and the games they are playing need to stop now. Either get committed and involved, or start building bunkers and assume the basic airline crash position - lean forward, put your head between you legs - and kiss your ass goodbye!

WOW!

Probably one of the most substantial speeches ever heard in that chamber.

That's about it.

There's a new sheriff in town, and he read the riot act to those delegates.

Way to go, George! We're taking names and kicking @ss! And hopefully, withholding funds from the UN until "the world's most persistent violators of human rights" are kicked off the commission and handed a one-way ticket home. Hope the jerks were cringing in their seats, hope the cameras picked up beads of sweat on their ugly brows. (I can dream.)

No, he said no such thing. It's amazing how some folks can read something in plain English and translate it into Martian. You wanted him to say what you claim he did, and you approve of him, therefore in your mind he said exactly what you wanted him to say.

Amazing.

Do you suppose that given this and other speeches like it, the over-all response of the man to the circumstances and the support of the US and world opinion, it would be too much to expect the media to referr to him consistently as "President Bush?" I get pretty damn sick of the use of the "president clinton" title as compared to "Bush" by them. Do you think it's just too much to expect?

They can be expected to use chemical, biological and nuclear weapons the moment they are capable of doing so. No hint of conscience would prevent it. This threat cannot be ignored. This threat cannot be appeased. Civilization itself, the civilization we share, is threatened.

History will record our response and judge or justify every nation in this hall. The civilized world is now responding. We act to defend ourselves and deliver our children from a future of fear

So why don't you tell us what he said.

An excellent speech, although why Bush gave it to yet another terrorist organization is beyond me. The UN needs to be GONE from what's left of this country, and we need to not be a part of it.
