Too damn long.

If Iraq is such a threat to the United States, Congress should declare war and Bush should get on with it.

The rest of the world might not like it, but 'them liking it' really isn't a requirement.

With each passing day that this drags out, it's becoming apparent to me that this whole episode has more to do with legitimizing the UN and the New World Order than anything else.

21 stinkin' days??????

What in the world are they thinking? First of all - why would they give such a precise time for war to begin - doesn't sound like good strategy.

Second of all - Is 12 years and umpteen UN resolutions not enough warning or chances? We discuss the irrelivance of the UN when they keep putting this off, but now we are falling into the same trap. I find it hard to believe that Saddam is such a danger if we can continue to put off any real action.

Another 21 days?

Meanwhile, in an apparent quickening of the pace to war, President Bush and Blair are reported by at least one British paper to have decided on a 21-day deadline.

Quickening? Hardly. Our window of opportunity is closing fast. Let's get this damn show on the road already!

21 days? March something? I thought we couldn't do anything after March 1 because of the heat. This is too strange. Are Bush and Blair TRYING to lose support?

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Is this, like, before or after St. Patrick's Day?

Oh, just looked. COOL. We can take care of this over the weekend, and enjoy an event free Guinness and Lamb Stew..

"The rising rhetoric of a "moral war" comes as the heads of both the Catholic Church and of 70 million Anglican Christians around the world, have firmly rejected the morality of bombing Baghdad into submission.",

These idiots are no more moral than Hugh Hefner....while they fiddle faddle....the Iraqi public dies.....oh, I am beginning to wonder about ANY church these days.

[PhilDragoo]

The Times of India does not name the "one paper" which cites the 21-day limit.

This article has nothing of substance to offer.

Therefore I advise we attack Monday March 3 the next new moon:

1) Jacques Chirac
2) Hollywood
3) Kofi Annan
4) Gerhard Schroeder
5) Saddam Hussein's stocks of Viagra
6) Iowa

Then we get series.

The paper said the two men, who had a 30-minute telephone conversation on Thursday, had agreed to give Saddam Hussein until March 14 to disarm or face war.

As President Bush once said, "Those who know aren't telling."

I think we should take a page out of Fat Tony's book (from "The Simpsons"). Homer borrowed money to help Marge's fledgling business. Then he avoided Fat Tony when it came time to pay him back, and he ran Marge's car off the road. He told her how much time she had to come up with the money: "You have 24 hours. And to show you we're serious, you have 12 hours."

[Reagan Man]

The Times of India? LOL

A little counter propaganda never hurts.

MARCH 14 !!!

OMG - I cannot believe it!

On Thursday night, Powell, who spoke with quiet intensity, insisted a second UN resolution did not need to authorise the use of force. That hurdle had already been crossed, Powell indicated.

And what happens if the resolution is vetoed by France or another country?

Does that make the offer of 21 days null and void?

Sounds like an interesting game of poker.

[Jeff Chandler]

Alright, Saddam, we're going to give you one last chance.

[Beck_isright]

Yawn. Let the french veto the resolution next Tuesday and begin bombing on Sunday. This is just getting absurd. Next thing you know we're going to have to wait for the migration of the Iraqi Spotted Desert Owl so we don't have the Sierra Club mad at W. Just pull the damn trigger or at least email all GOP contributors with a legitimate start date so we can short the S&P indexes.
