Pres Bush....on this very day 15 years ago Saddam killed thousands of his own people without shame, we must not permit his crimes to reach across the world...posseses the weapons of mass murder...he agreed to disarm these weapons over a decade ago...the UN in 1441 declared Iraq in material breach of its long standing obligations,....and promised serious consequences if he refused to comply......

Dubya looks good...rested and confident. Looks like he's had some rest and a good meeting with Blair and Aznar. Sounds like they're closing ranks into a strong alliance. We move on Baghdad next week.

Why do you say that? We're going in and he's now laying out how we'll help the Iraqis when we're done disarming Saddam.

[mikegi]

Tomorrow will be the Ultimatum(TM) Day. War will be Thursday, imho.

[clintonh8r]

Not really. One last (we mean it!) line in the sand. Tomorrow. Heard that before? Nothing to back up the "tomorrow" statement.

[Bahbah]

Bottom line. We're going in.

[cyncooper]

"Tomorrow is a moment of truth for the world". Is that what I hope it is?

Of course!
