#1 This is absulutely a cynical and thinly veiled attempt to target Israel and its purported possession of nuclear weapons. The thing is that the anti-Israeli/anti-Coalition crowd will eat this up.

#2 The State Dept transcript differed slightly from the news release on Powell's comments (from Best of the Web):

Here's the State Department's version of the quote; the words in all caps do not appear in the AP's quote: "There is no war plan RIGHT NOW to go attack someone else, either for the purpose of overthrowing their leadership or for the purpose of imposing democratic values."

#3 You've all hit the nail on the head. I'll bet this makes the rounds Sunday morning, and George Stinkypimpleface brings up Isreal. NOT Iran, OR Syria.

#5 regional WMD disarmament has already come up. Both Israel and the US have called for it to occur through regional negotiations - which imply all regional states recognizing Israel. Your move, Syria.

#9 Syria wants to bring the AoW, UN, EU, and all the ships at sea into this thing. That way they can wiggle out of doing anything. Speak softly and carry a big stick, oh...and valve wrenches...
