are you guys watching this powell shit live?

[xfer]

holy shit.

 

[FrostGiant]

No. I'm working. What's going on.

 

[xfer]

they're playing intercepts of iraqi officers talking about hiding forbidden weapons!

 

[avi]

serious?!

 

[xfer]

yeah!

also powell is going through this tedious (but necessary, i guess) step-by step outline of weapons sites, showing convoys of trucks moving all this crazy shit and chemical gear!

 

[xfer]

also they talked about hiding modified vehicles from the inspectors (chemical stuff maybe?)

 

[avi]

so is it totally 'smoking gun' level shit or what?

 

[xfer]

well, they kept saying they wouldn't reveal a 'smoking gun' on WMDs, so probably not. however, if it wasn't clear already, it is a 'smoking gun' for the OTHER un resolution, where iraq is required to provide unimpeded access, i think. (1441?)

 

[xfer]

i think iraq is not long for this world.

 

[avi]

it was a given to begin with, regardless of this presentation I think.

 

[xfer]

yeah, but this might sway some more nations to join in the sandcastle-stomping.

 

[goatschool]

how many times has the word "evil" been mentioned so far?

i noted one, and this is after 4-5 minutes of watching

 

[xfer]

im kind of listening in the background and i only tune in when it sounds like he's talking specifics about hiding shit, so i couldn't say...

 

[xfer]

i would really love to see iraqi explanations for why they have these convoys of trucks moving surface dirt and mysterious boxes from sites days before the inspectors arrive when no trucks usually go to those places.

 

[xfer]

ok another intercept:

"remove the nerve agents."

some context for that one would have been nice.

viewing this is not unlike reading a rundown of why mr fantastic hates dr doom. gah.

 

[xfer]

if we had unconventional weapons, which we don't, i would want saddam to "REMOVE THE NERVE AGENTS" from our noble and peaceful country!

 

[goatschool]

no no, i meant...

EGH.

 

[xfer]

i know, i know, i was just being funny!

 

[xfer]

oh fuck. he's trying to connect iraq and al-qaeda.
