He's forcing the vote in the UN. Pass or fail we're going in. Plans are in place, troops ready.... "The go ahead to Baghdad is coming within a week" is what I heard.

He repeatedly spoke of Iraq and Saddam in the past tense. The die is cast.

I need to find a transcript of that part of the questioning. I wasn't listening and dh said that Bush basically told the reporter from CBS that he didn't need the UN to tell him what to do. Anybody know where a transcript of the news conference can be found?

Yes ... this is awesome - he's making them put their MONEY where their mouth is - which means when it comes time to rebuild Iraq - those who were against getting rid of Sadaam are out in the cold ...!!

Plus - if the UN votes against getting rid of Sadaam - they will thereafter become irrelevant - and WE WILL NEVER AGAIN look to them on any issue. I also strongly suspect we will begin to pull our money out of that organization - which of course is what holds it up to begin with.
