GW doesn't give a rat's behind for the UN, France, or Germany.

The best move would be to strike while the collectivists stare at their navel. That way, they have no say after it is over.

The time is now.

We have drawn countless lines in the sand and Saddam has crossed every one. Is THIS yet another line?

Britain and America are drawing up plans to give Saddam Hussein as little as 48 hours to flee Baghdad or face war, if UN weapons inspectors report this week that the Iraqi dictator is still refusing to disarm fully.

The proposals will form the framework of a long-awaited second resolution, which could be put before the Security Council by next weekend.

The deadline would be just long enough for Arab neighbours to make a last effort to persuade Saddam to leave the country, according to US officials, or for a coup to take place. The shortest timeframe to emerge from private diplomatic discussions has been two days.

The phrasing of the new, deliberately concise UN resolution would deny Saddam a fresh chance to say that he will comply with Security Council demands. Britain will put forward the resolution because Washington "does not want to be seen to need it", according to a senior Security Council diplomat.

Foreign Office officials confirmed that Saudi Arabia has offered to take Saddam if he goes into exile. Last month Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, said he would be "delighted" if Saddam fled Iraq.

"To avoid a war, I would personally recommend that some provision be made so that the senior leadership and their families could be provided haven in some other country," he said.

To be passed, the new resolution would require the support of nine of the 15 Security Council members, assuming there was no veto from France, China or Russia. British and American officials last night made clear that they do not expect a unanimous vote in its favour but are confident that a veto can be avoided.

"The resolution being discussed would declare that Saddam is in material breach of UN resolutions, which authorises the use of all necessary means to disarm him," one senior Security Council diplomat said.

America and Britain are, however, determined to avoid a second resolution which would enable Saddam further to delay disarmament. "The last thing they want is a decision which just starts the process towards another decision," said the diplomat.

Gang-I hate to break this to you but this war is not starting until at least March. Depending on how you define the start of the war, there is quite simply not enough combat power until then to kick this thing off until then.

Exciting, isn't it?

Why isn't this articele posted, instead of a link to a link?

[DoctorMichael]

There is nothing about this now on Drudge's site.

Either:
1) He took it off because it was wrong and he got a call from one of his sources telling him so, or..............

2) He took it off because it was right and he got a call from a "friend" telling him "ix-nay the ews-nay".

Saddam should not be allowed to leave this easily. He needs to leave feet first and at room temperature.

It's a little late in the game to post this and I don't know if anyone else did yet, but after Drudge deletes this story, if anyone wants the URL to the site that posted it, here it is:
