The Azores meeting has nothing to do with diplomacy. It is a war council. The military didn't make a massive show of force yesterday just to wait on "diplomacy." Anything that has to go on at the UN is now irrelevant. And from the news channels this morning, it seems that the other members of the UN SC are finally realizing what tomorrow's meeting will be all about. It is not the final push for diplomacy, it is the final preparation for war.

I too think that it is a war council, in the sense that they will hash out how to make that final step from diplomacy to war.

My guess is that the six fence sitting countries are not getting too many calls today. I bet they know the real state of affairs. Their 15 minutes of notariety on the international scene are over.
