President Bush will hold a news conference at 8 pm tonight...

[RobFromGa]

Probably to lobby for the UN to do the right thing, and lay out in no uncertain terms that they are voting on their future (the UN's)

Or could be War.

[Types_with_Fist]

They've been close for days. Sure would make the Dems shut up...well, maybe not...:-)

[CollegeRepublican]

"I have just signed the papers outlawing Iraq. The bombs start falling in five minutes."

[maquiladora]

I think this is more to do with a deadline for Iraq. There were rumours of this happening late last night.

[ewing]

So is it a speech or press conference? Or both...

[Dog]

This is to pre-empt Blix. And tell the world time is up.

[GraniteStateConservative]

It's movement in the right direction no matter whether it's about OBL or about giving Hussein 48 hours to disarm.

[maquiladora]

See 15 and there's no way they'd announced a speech so far ahead of time if it was war.

[JFC]

I hope he does not give SH 2 hours or 72 hours... I hope he just says we have started bombing. Our troops are getting tired of the wait. America is getting tired of the wait.

I hope we have OBL and President Bush says one down one to go..........START THE ENGINES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I agree our President needs ALL of our prayers today.

Bush may give final weapons ultimatum to Saddam

Already done that - a couple of times.
Mr. President!!!
PULL THE TRIGGER!!!

[EarlyBird]

I agree. It's about OBL. I have a feeling we're gonna get him today, and who else can announce that victory but Bush?

[Lady Jag]

It is a press conference. He is not likely to make any major announcements, right?

[GraniteStateConservative]

It better be good to pre-empt "Friends"...

; )

[gulfcoast6]

HOwlin, if this were to happen there would be lots of state funerals for the demyflops, they would be dropping like flies.

[eyespysomething]

It better be good to pre-empt Survivor, the only show I watch all week. Well, except the Simpsons and South Park

[MizSterious]

"Sure would make the Dems shut up...well, maybe not..."

Surely you jest? No doubt capturing the big O will just launch a thousand other attacks on the GOP, up to and including "mistreatment" of the "poor, misunderstood" OBL.

[RoseofTexas]

CLOTURE VOTE??? What CLOTURE VOTE?? OH NO!! Did the pubbies cave in!! Plezzz tell me I'm dreaming, as well as Tony blair compromising the resolution with the UN. WHAT A TERRIBLE MORNING!!

[TLBSHOW]

Looks like helen gets her way...
