I don't want to be a nit picker......but I will believe it when I see it.

Sounds like the Brits want to include benchmarks..

Yep, and one of them is that Saddam has to go on TV nad admit that he has hidden WMD and is now going to destroy them.

Can you see that happening? Not a hope!

Just reported on Fox along with the date slipping to 21 March (or later):

Benchmarks that Blair is proposing for Saddam to meet:

Saddam has to go on TV and reounces weapons inispections

40 Scientists would be interviewed in Cyprus

Get rid of chemicals

Explain the drone

This is ludicrous. Enough of these rewrites. Blair has been propped up by the Country long enough. Rumsfeld gave him the out yesterday by saying we are prepared to enter Iraq without the Brits and they can come in later.

Time for President Bush to stand up and say vote on Thursday or the United States will issue its own ultimatum to Saddam and forget the UN.

Tired of America's foreign policy being held hostage by the likes of France and Cameroon, etc.

How about this for a benchmark:

Saddam must present physical evidence of destruction/disposition of all documented arms, including both chemical and biologicals. The documented arms for this discussino would include all of those thousands of lbs of agents that were documented in the previous inspections.

Also included in the benchmarks would be the direct whitnessing of the destruction of all All Sau?? missiles and ALL components thereof. Another form of evidence would be allowing several thousand US troops and inspectors to simultaniously inspect every suspected weapons depot, every presidential compound/palace, and every laboritory in the country.

Meeting these benchmarks whould win Iraq at least 24 more hours to complete the job at hand.

If a single threat, delaying tactice, bullet, or other action is taken on Iraq's part, then war would be automatic - with the use of our new MOAB as well as possible use of our "other" arsenal....
