His message was "No more waiting"


Yes, Powell was quite good. He made it personal - you people were in the room with ME when we crafted 1441 over 7 weeks you know that I know what you told me then - Powell called them liars and cowards to their faces.

I almost thought he was going to take a shoe off and pound the table with it! :>)

I think if he took off his shoe, he might have pounded both the French and the German foreign ministers <g>.

I think the answer to Bush's question of last Sep. 12th (will the UN be relevant) has been answered. The US could still decide not to go to war....but the UN has failed to take the opportunity that was handed to it. Countries around the world would have sat up and taken notice that the UN was no longer afraid to act.

Hi LindyBill; Re: "I just watched Powell. He was at his best, IMO. I almost thought he was going to take a shoe off and pound the table with it! :>)"

History has shown that people who pound on tables with shoes do not necessarily have (1) truth, or (2) time, on their side.

The shoe pounding rhetoric is a sign of failure. It's what losers do when they fail to make their case logically.
