Mangy Cast Of U.N. Characters Display Their Irrelevance; Decimated By Secretary Powell
Rush Limbaugh - February 14, 2003

On Friday, I decided to JIP - join in progress - Secretary of State Colin Powell's comments to the United Nations. Powell hammered the wimp French and Syrian foreign ministers. They spoke prior to him and insulted the United States of America in general and Powell personally. Every speaker prior to the SecState read from prepared comments, which they clearly prepared before Hans Blix issued his report. Secretary Powell spoke extemporaneously.

The secretary is interested in facts; everybody else involved was interested in "process." It's typical liberalism. Powell made it a point last week to establish a link between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al-Qaeda; Blix and this waste of cheese from France, Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin, said that they don't believe Powell. There was a time when the French and the favorite target of their surrender, the Germans, would speak of the U.S. with respect. (The leading German guy has a dark history himself.)

The U.N. Security Council - with its Jabba the Hutt, its Trogdor and its various other Star Wars Cantina characters - is trying to lay a trap to delay Iraq's liberation under the guise that the inspections are making progress. The attention of the media and everybody else is wrongly focused. The onus is not on the United States to prove Saddam has WMDs. The UN placed the onus on Saddam to prove that the weapons we know he had at the end of the last inspections regime have been destroyed - period.

The most surreal moment was Blix praising Iraqi "president" Hussein for decreeing a ban on making WMDs or importing stuff to do so. Great! Maybe tomorrow he'll ban dictatorships! These mop-haired diplomats are trying to make themselves seem relevant by standing up to the U.S. - even though they know they couldn't defend themselves against a troop of reasonably aggressive Girl Scouts. They talk a whole lot about listening to reaction on their streets; they'd better be far more concerned with reaction on our streets, because they need us a whole hell of a lot more than we need them.

FABULOUS. Even better than hearing it this morning.

This was great :-)

BTW, Saddam outlawed torture years ago and look how well that cleared the problem RIGHT up.... oh, please.

Gotta love Rush...the paper tiger UN does need us alot more than we need them. But I'm sure they have pretty much lined their pockets already with UN foreign aid funds.

Even their folders are baby blue.

Jabba the Hutt is a character in Ollie North's book Mission Compromised. If you have not read it do so. It is interesting and a fast read with an ending that will suprise you.

I TRIED to listen to them this morning, but one woman from Syria was going on and on about how they are the VICTIMS of US and Israeli agression. I was screaming at my radio to the point that my neighbors thought I had gone mad. When the Frenchman started talking, I shut it off.

[lainie]

Sounds good. I'll do that.

1. How many gears in a French tank? Six, five reverse and one forward in case they are attacked from behind.

2. What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up? The French Army.

3. How do you stop a French tank? Shoot the guy pushing.

4. How did the French advertise surplus World War II rifles? “Never fired, only dropped once.”

5. Why might the French send troops to the Gulf? To teach the Iraqis how to surrender.

6. Why do Frenchmen have mustaches? To look like their mothers.

7. Why does the new French Navy use glass-bottomed boats? So they can see the old French Navy.

I met Ollie at a rally in 1994 when he ran against Robb. He is a dynamic Marine.....I have met a few guys who went to TBS (Basic School) with him and from things said, he was always a very serious student who excelled...when others would be on liberty, he would be studying the tactical problems for classes for the following week. I am a retired Marine...and think Ollie is the real deal.

[CyberAnt]

Wow! I've had the worst case of indigestion all day over these lily-livered idiots. We have such a wonderful military, I just want the war to start and be over - and laugh in their faces when we do exactly what we said we would do.

And ... I want to see the people in Iraq lined up and down the streets throwing flowers and kisses and giving our men hugs because they have been liberated from a terrible tyrant.

Some of the people around here trashing Powell owe him an apology.

[unspun]

Talk to the hand, dude. Talk to the hand.

Yep, he really nailed it too when he refferred to Bush as a Conservative yesterday! What's wrong with this picture? Blackbird.
