Presidents Address to the Nation

I LOVED IT. 2 days then we kick iraqi ass. What do yall think

Time is up. If Sad'am is smart (Which he doesn't seem to be) he will leave the country with his regime. I don't see that happening though, he better brace himself.

One of his better performances. I give it a 6.5 out of 10 overall.

Could someone post that speech so we can uncover logical inconsistencies and false information ?

I still think a few Toastmaster meetings wouldn't hurt him. lol

I might just be seeing things, and I might just be crazy, But did that look like the word 'ME' on the left side of his forehead to anyone else? If anyone can post a still of the speech you might be able to see it.

I agree. And that @#$%&* Texan said "nukular" again. AARRGH!!

William, that is what I rated him as well, and it was not one of his better speeches. The guy does much better off the cuff. The whole teleprompter thing really kicks him in the head.

I can see it in MM's avatar if you can enlarge it.

he looked tired, pale, and wrinkled. the speech was as i expected, nothing new. hope he knows what he's doing. the sistah is kinda in an odd mood now. i wouldn't want his job is all. i feel for him, and that sucks.

Take a look at this, sistah, you'll feel better

Iraq's Supply Chain (From Iraqi Report)

Even before Iraq released its weapons-program dossier on 7 December 2002, it was said that the report would name the corporations that supplied Iraq with the equipment and other material it needed to develop biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. Soon after the report was released, those suspicions were confirmed. Sources who had seen the report said that it identified suppliers from the US, UK, Germany, France, China, and elsewhere.

Now, that part of the report has been leaked. The leftist German daily newspaper Die Tageszeitung received portions of the original, uncensored 12,000-page dossier. (The names of the corporations have been blacked out of the version of the report given to the ten non-permanent members of the Security Council.) The paper has printed the list, presented below.








---------------------------------------------------
Key

A = nuclear weapon program
B = biological weapon program
C = chemical weapon program
R = rocket program
K = conventional weapons, military logistics, supplies at the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, and building of military plants







USA

1. Honeywell (R, K)

2. Spectra Physics (K)

3. Semetex (R)

4. TI Coating (A, K)

5. Unisys (A, K)

6. Sperry Corp. (R, K)

7. Tektronix (R, A)

8. Rockwell (K)

9. Leybold Vacuum Systems (A)

10. Finnigan-MAT-US (A)

11. Hewlett-Packard (A, R, K)

12. Dupont (A)

13. Eastman Kodak (R)

14. American Type Culture Collection (B)

15. Alcolac International (C)

16. Consarc (A)

17. Carl Zeiss - U.S (K)

18. Cerberus (LTD) (A)

19. Electronic Associates (R)

20. International Computer Systems (A, R, K)

21. Bechtel (K)

22. EZ Logic Data Systems, Inc. (R)

23. Canberra Industries Inc. (A)

24. Axel Electronics Inc. (A)

"In addition to these 24 companies home-based in the USA are 50 subsidiaries of foreign enterprises which conducted their arms business with Iraq from within the US. Also designated as suppliers for Iraq's arms programs (A, B, C & R) are the US Ministries of Defense, Energy, Trade and Agriculture as well as the Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories."

Yeah Saph, looks like the long trip to the Azores yesterday has him pretty worn out. Not to mention the stress he must be under throughout this whole ordeal. I thought the speech was pretty well done, nice to hear him send a message to the Iraqi people. I think we all know what the chances of Saddam just getting up and leaving the country are. Better chance at the pick 6.

Karl, the sppech just ended and you want to dissect it to look for "logical inconsistencies and false information." What did you have in mind? That Saddam is a threat and is evil?

Kegs, are you seeing things? What do you mean "me" on his forehead, do you mean a tattoo like Mike Tyson's? I looked at MM's avatar and don't see it, I think you're pulling our leg!

Karl, what does your long, irrelevant post without a link have to do with the thread"President's Address to the Nation"?

Karl, name all the companies from all the nations. Wasn't there like 80 German countries?

Easy there T.C.
I am a Texan!

So is my ex-wife, so please understand the angst!

Karl - no -I am just interested in seeing the 'big picture' - you've cropped that list of companies. there are others, I believe when I read that same report there were over 80 German countries. I could be wrong. And we're suddenly getting way off topic here.

Who said we are the biggest? And your info is from what rag? I'd rather get intel from Bild, at least it has a beautiful girl on the second page, or at least it used to several years ago. Does it still, anybody?

Karl: there is no doubt in my mind that Dubya is trying to do the right thing as he sees it. whether i agree with war or not i know that their plan, such as it is, has a root in a noble cause--democracy for all peoples. i don't believe war is the right path but i'm not there in those back rooms, as TC said in another thread, so i don't have a clue about the real realities of ruling the lone super power. all i know is they come in looking young and fresh and they leave looking like a shell of the man they once were. and no list of corporations is gonna change that. i've seen the list btw, there is another thread on here with a link to the report.

Hmmm........ interesting info there Karl Molarius!!!! It is frustrating that companies are free to sell these types of products to nations like these!!!!!!

Now I am NOT anti-Bush, in fact I am for Bush and I agree with what he is doing BUT IMO these companies, if the information is true, should be confronted..... maybe Homeland Security is looking into transactions like these?!?!?

two days eh? gives me time to go get a weeks worth of nachos and recording videos so i can get some of baghdad on tape. might be a collectors item someday. terror alerts high again. looks like the boys down at homeland security lit up the reefer again.

seriously though, i belive that this is just a consolidation of all the little reports by little news agencies today by a big man. colin powell this morning gave me reason to belive that i should make a trip or to the the local kwik-e-mart and pick up a pack of smirnoff. oh well.
