Advisors in the White House are now writing a speech in which the President Bush will announce the beginning for war with Iraq..

If he said it "officially", he's just admitted to having WMD.

what is being 'drafted' in the WH is, in fact, a 'declaration of war'?

It's the weekend, interns write the headlines on weekends. The regular staff, some of whom have a clue, are expected back at their desks at 8 AM Monday.

There was speculation that terrorists would be attempting to disburse chem and bio stuff into the air and into our water. I'm wondering if CODE: ORANGE will come on line today. With that code, we begin closer monitoring of bridges and waterways.

Dont forget Saddams inflatible rafts! (Iraqi Navy)

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

Both of your replies make considerable sense, although RightWhale's clearly was more amusing ;-)

DEBKA CONFIRMS, WAR TO START TOMORROW

[Dan(9698)]

>>>...Not relating to the formal Constutional process of submitting to Congress..

That took place last October 3.

We have been at war since then.

[Smile-n-Win]

"Declaration of war" may be what it will be called--but war, of course, does not need to be declared at this point, since everyone knows about our intention to liberate Iraq. It will in effect be more like a Declaration of Independence--from the UN!

[ffusco]

All Unit. The call sign is IRENE. I say again, IRENE.

[ewing]

DEBKA said Tommorow? Is that GMT..

[College Repub]

I would assume so.

[VRWC_minion]

I thought it was the Congress who made such declarations--not the executive branch. No? Thanks.

Congress delegated to Bush after 9/11 the ability to declare.

DEBKA CONFIRMS, WAR TO START TOMORROW

Combined with your tagline, I think you've definitely got a comedy career ahead of you! I laughed out loud reading this.

[ewing]

Youre right, I just looked it up..

[jonatron]

I wouldn't be overly suprised if the mexican article got the idea from Debka. (Still wondering about those ChiCom troops they reported were in Afgahnistan.)

Damn .. someone did a BAD makeup job on Judy Woodruff today. She's turning into Ruth Bader Ginsberg before our eyes, save for the hideous glasses.
