We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Today, Secretary Powell will brief the UN Security Council regarding American intelligence that will show Iraq is not complying with UN requirements, intelligence the Iraqis say is fabricated.
In hearings on Capitol Hill, lawmakers were told by Administration officials that North Korea might sell fissile material, possibly complete Bombs, to other entities to raise cash.
Hans Blix told Iraqi officials that, while a date certain for military action has not been set, it is "five minutes till midnight," and the Iraqis had better start turning up information on arms production.
Last November, Saudi Arabia quietly provided a passport and transport to remove a woman from the United States who was supposed to have testified to a grand jury about her husbands terrorist connections.
NASA was warned nine years ago the shuttle could catostrophically fail if debris hit the vital underside area of the craft - the very scenario that is the leading idea being investigated now. NASA made some changes to the fuel tank design, but has noted the foam always "has been a pain."
And in Los Angeles, a city council meeting, which was the last for three council members who were recalled, got out of control. An amateur video has footage of the mayor clocking one of the council members with her handbag, followed by a punch.

Don't forget, at this point in the game, the "jabber" has a very useful purpose. It allows us time to position forces.
Today I feel like I'm in a perpetual bad dream, ready to cry at any moment, all the time.
I am tired, and very much appreciate the prayer.
We are all here for you..
(((ohio))), I wish you were right here and I could give you a hug.
Eric and Josh are gone to get a haircut together (brotherly bonding at its best!), and when I am alone, I start to fall apart.
I can be strong when Eric's here, and when the other kids are around, but it seems to be a facade.
I am so overwhelmed by sadness and loss.....not really fear, because I trust God completely.....but deep sorrow.
The timing of this is so unfortunate, since Josh is leaving tomorrow for the University of Salzburg, for what should be a joyous and exciting adventure. But knowing that his brother is at the same time heading off to the Persian Gulf makes it very hard for him.
I do thank you all for your prayers, and for you words of support. You don't know what they mean to me.
Yes, I've been reminding myself of that for awhile now...
But at the point when that is no longer necessary....THAT'S IT!!!
He's such a strong man, and more mature at 19 than most men ever get to be, but when I look at him, I see my little boy.
I really don't want him to go, and see what he's going to see, and experience what he's going to experience, but I can't let him see that. I am SO proud of him....SO proud!
Munich, Germany (dpa) - Federal investigators in Germany are looking into a possible threat of attacks by a Jordanian linked by the United States to the Iraqi regime, according to a published report.
The report, due to hit newsstands in Thursday's edition of Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, says investigators believe Abu Mossab Al Zarqawi was planning assassinations and other attacks in Europe.
The 36-year-old terrorist is believed to be the ``operative head'' of the El Tawhid group which planned attacks in Germany last year. The United States believes he may be a link between al Qaeda and Iraq.
