I need the transcript because the quotes do not make any sense to me. From several sources I have read it said that US is completely arrogant; it's only about oil; the UN is good; Bush is a racist he would respect the UN process if only the Secretary General were white.

   This does not add up. If so we would be like the President of Iraq when he wanted Kuwait, we would not go to the UN, we would not debate, we would just conquer.

   President Bush is not a racist. Colin Powell is Secretary of State for only one reason. President Bush chose him.

   It's not just about oil. We had control over the oil wells; we gave up control. Americans spent our money and some Americans risked their lives to put out the oil fires. Putting out the fires only benefitted people in the region. Given the amount of oil burned it did not effect the price of oil.

   Some of the quotes by themselves amount to just name calling. Children calling each other names is childish. For a statesman to resort to baseless name calling in such a life-or-death matter is reprehensible. If all that can be done is name calling then the next step may very well be bloodshed.

   For me the transcript may flesh out the quotes.
