#1 I blogged real time. I guess I had hoped for more "Gee whiz" new information. The general rehash says to me that it's put up or shut up time for the UN, and that we really weren't trying to change any minds.

#2 A slam-dunk for Powell. Time for France to quickly find enough weasel words to save face without exercising a veto. But, then, do we really need another resolution... The U.N. Security Council is proven to be irrelevent.

#3 quick internet poll results - did powell make his case?
FOX: 95% yes (well, no surprise)
MSNBC 74% yes
BBC: 45% Yes - Not bad consideiring their audience, overseas as well as in UK.

#4 Did anyone else catch the Fischer's closing reference to "applying these techniques elsewhere"?

#5 Is this new info by Powell? Anything relating this to the anthrax attacks here?

"By 1998, UN experts agreed that the Iraqis had perfected drying techniques for their biological weapons programmes.

Now, Iraq has incorporated this drying expertise into these mobile production facilities. We know from Iraq's past admissions that it has successfully weaponised not only anthrax, but also other biological agents, including botulinum toxin, aflatoxin and ricin."

#6 I though Powell did a magnificent job. Ninty minutes of documentation that was clear concise and to the point. Bravo.

His comment on anthrax was very interesting. Without drawing a direct link to the attack last year, he left the unspoken inference....those that perpetuated that attack are now on notice.
Either that link is too sensitive to release at this time or the FBI is still running a sting.
