Link to C-SPAN

As usual, please no HUGE graphics

[Howlin]

Session set to begin at 10:00 A.M. EST

I'm not sure which C-SPAN will carry this!

[Howlin]

This is the thread for the Blix discussion.

I will be out for a bit this morning, so if you all decide to join the two threads, fine by me!

[Trust but Verify]

Thanks once again, Howlin, for your dedication to these important threads.

[The Wizard]

headline should be LACK of compliance

[jwalsh07]

Yes or No. That's it Hans, those are your two choices.

[guitfiddlist]

If pre-billing is any kind of indicator, Blix will have a schizophrenic breakdown at the podium today. Iraq is "cooperating but not complying". Great. Only an appeasing pinhead could come up with a summation like that.

[Miss Marple]

I am ready for war if for no other reason than that we will no longer see Hans Blix on television.

[apackof2]

This totally off the subject but HELP I need information to send to a peacenik who send me a Nowar/Peace e-mail.
I have searched and searched can't find it and MadIvan is English is asleep by now. I know you are a regular and may remeber this post
thnaks so much for any help

[JohnHuang2]

[JohnHuang2]

G'morning, y'all :^)

Once again Blix is going to announce that Iraq in NOT complying with 1441, has weapons that they are hiding, and is building more weapons -- AND STILL the Frogs and the Dummycrats are going to say we don't have enough proof -- GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Semper Paratus]

I heard that Sec. Powell may have an immediate rebuttal.
If so should that here or on a new thread?

[eyespysomething]

I loved the line last night from Pres. Bush that everyone would have to show their cards. One question, have they or have they not complied with 1441. I think the Axis of Appeasers was shocked by this, because the only reason he is going to call for a vote, is to let the world see where everyone stands before we go in and kick @ss and take names and find everything there is to find that the UN inspectors couldn't.

[Cboldt]

You know, you are going to get blamed for another live thread.

[carton253]

CSpan is carrying it on line.

[jwalsh07]

Morning Johnny.

[section9]

Okay, what are the odds that Powell will call for a snap vote on Monday? Any takers?

Bush sounded awfully certain of the course of his actions last night. His "whip count" remark told me a lot. It told me that he's made up his mind.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[Mrs.Liberty]

You are everywhere!

Freepers, I'll be on my way into work as this transpires, so rememember, clear and concise...and under 100 posts, please. LOL.

;)

UN Security Council to Saddam:

"Now you're on double secret probation!"

[Bryan24]

President Bush suckerpunched Blix last night.

He got the advanced copy of the report. It CLEARLY shows that Saddam is not in full compliance with 1441. President Bush made it EXTREMLY clear what the whole debate boils down to: Is Saddam in full, complete and unconditional compliance with Resolution 1441?

If Blix tries to softpedal the violations, he will be exposed for it. Blix isn't the judge of what should be done. He only reports what he and his team inspects.

Bush's positioning last night was a masterstoke of diplomatic maneuvering.
