[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

President George W Bush will be speaking to the nation at 9pm this evening. Bahgdad This is one hour after Saddam's " GET OUT OF IRAQ" deadline.

[Trust but Verify]

I wouldn't presume to know more than the President when it comes to the order to commence hostilities.

Pins n' needles...no news, a dead space in the air, no reports...somethin's on the move.

Can anyone post a definitive list of the Coalition of the Willing? It would be nice to know exactly which are the courageous nations that have chosen to stand beside us.

There have been so few live reports for the last few hours -- remember how they used to have a lot of live reports from the different troops! Brian Williams reporting that it is near morning in Kuwait City.

Maybe it's because it's been the middle of the night there! And now that it's almost morning, it looks like there will be no S and A until nightfall.

TIME'S UP, SADDAM

But HLL word is never immature speculation. She had a source,

I know that HLL has sources we don't have, my only point is that the source given for this thread is a lie - if it wasn't the source, she should have given the real one or at least not given the wrong one.

The other point justshe had was that posting this, if the WH hasn't released the info, might be giving out info that the WH doesn't want released yet. You know, Loose lips sink ships. as stated on the post preview page.

But see, you're being reasonable, and that's just not what we do here! ; )

[justshe]

You sure? The source of this story is Fox News.....they have nothing.

The date on the article was 18 March, 8 AM (AEDT-Austrialian Eastern Daylight Time, GMT+11 hr), which is 4 PM EST, therefore the title is correct, as the speech occured at 12 noon AEDT.

Hopefully, that clears it up.

Grrr... I may have to sign off for the evening. This is not productive or informative. All the armchair quarterbacks and speculators just need to take a deep breath. The media, if nothing else, will make sure we all know the second something happens.

[tirednvirginia]

Hey guys, it has to be tonight. If not, Saddam could change his mind tomorrow and then the President would have to back down and let him go into exile - the world would demand it.
Then the President would be mercilessly criticized for his deadline not really meaning anything. But how could the President attack a nation waving the white flag?

[not-alone]

MSNBC is using a report right now that is over 12 hrs old.
