MSNBC

[WxMan2000]

Accoring to Ari at the morning gaggle...

[WxMan2000]

Powell to speak at 10:45 AM...

[nicmarlo]

Set for 8PM EST...

From the Oval Office?????

[kesg]

My recollection is that these presidential speeches tend to follow, not precede, the beginning of military action. Saddam better run now -- instead of weeks and months, it is now minutes and hours.

[RummyChick]

Admins better get their act together on this site. I posted a thread about the vote. It was pulled. The second thread about the subject was locked quoting that it was a duplicate of my thread.

GET IT TOGETHER

[veronica]

The President to tell Saddam, in his speech - leave Iraq, or face war. (Per FoxTV)

[umgud]

To paraphrase another Freeper (?)......... Boogity, Boogity, Boogity

[cynicom]

Will the major networks run tape delays?????

[Johnny Gage]

President: Ladies and Gentlemen of this wonderful United States of America, and to Mr Saddam Hussein in Baghdad. tonight I would like to quote "The Great Communicator" Ronald Reagan:

The Bombing starts in 5 minutes.

Baghdad

[arthurus]

You think the networks will carry this one?

The incentive to carry these grows less as cries of "wolf" inure the network choosers.

[Sacajaweau]

I agree, no more than 24 hours. I picked 1:00 AM Baghdad time on the 19th for a particular reason.

[twigs]

From what I understand, there will probably be two speeches--the first to warn everyone to get out, the second to say we've begun the liberation of Iraq.

[July 4th]

Yeah, what's up with that?

[1Old Pro]

One Presidential address to say negotiations and diplomacy are over and war will be necessary. Then we'll have another address later in the week to announce that the bombing has started.

[arthurus]

Perhaps we will strike Iraq and North Korea and maybe even France at the same time here.

Bush to Address U.S., Demand Saddam Leave
Mon March 17, 2003 10:18 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will demand in a speech to the American people on
Monday night that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein leave Iraq to avoid war, a White House
spokesman said.

Bush will speak at 8 p.m. after the failure by the U.N. Security Council to reach a consensus on
how to deal with Iraq.

[spectre]

Darn, I was looking for the "vote" thread!

That's a little harsh, isn't it? Give them a break. This isn't life or death, and things that are broken can be fixed.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I alerted the admins that you beat the other post by a minute. I have no idea why they destroyed your scoop.

[Cap Huff]

"The President to tell Saddam, in his speech - leave Iraq, or face war."


Good. That's as it should be. Make him be the trigger.

[xzins]

France is to blame

That is so clear. There needs to be a good editorial written that demonstrates that.

1. To force a dangerous dictator to change his ways, he MUST sense a real danger of retaliation.

2. If he does not see unity in the potential parties to that retaliation, then he will NOT change immediately.

3. If he senses open division in the potential parties to that retaliation, the he probably will consider not changing EVER.

4. If he senses that some of the parties of the retaliation are actively preventing any retaliation EVER happening, then he will DECIDE never to change.

5. If he senses that some of the parties are his allies, then he will ignore the opposition and return to his dangerous ways.
