Azores Press Conference LIVE THREAD

Various

[Amelia]

For discussion.

[swheats]

We have the same results. Bush compliments Blair, vise versa.

[Libertina]

LOL Succinct.

Spin it any way that makes you happy. You're listening (maybe) but certainly not understanding.

[alisasny]

NBC CBS and fox 5 in NY are all showing sports and are not covering this..Shame.

ABC is as well as all the cable news channels.

[volchef]

I'm listening and confused....Bush says tomorrow, Blair says days......what's the deal? Is this more diplospeak? I hope you're right, but all this weeks not months stuff has really got me second guessing this whole thing.

[clintonh8r]

It's all part of the plan....

[dawn53]

I'm listening and confused

Maybe that's the way they want it. I always have wondered why we would give Saddam the exact date we were moving in.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Three times now... I wonder what Bush and Blair were REALLY talking about in the Azores

I think the real subtext is the emergence of the EU as the 4th Reich, and the Atlantic community as the logical counterweight. I imagine that was discussed by all attendees as it has huge consequences.

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for the ping. I am so pleased with Spain's steady support.

I have always believed Euro Disney should have been built in sunny, friendly Spain rather than France...

[marajade]

They just can't give out the date the bombs start flying...

[RummyChick]

well ^$^%#*&#)(@

I wanted a deadline
You have 24 hours
UN INSPECTORS GET OUT OF IRAQ

[volchef]

agreed on that.....I definitely don't want the date, but I'm ready for this get rolling!!!!!

[goodnesswins]

All this sounds like diplospeak for the FRENCH and GERMANS and RUSSIANS....you have one last chance to be with US or with the TERRORIST (Saddam et al)....

[max_rpf]

I guess he is saying that the Total contracts are no longer...

[carl in alaska]

Thank God...he started reading his speech more carefully and he's back to saying "Iraq" and "Iraqi people". The media will have a field day with this "Freudian slip", and it's implications for future Anglo-American policy.

[Dolphy]

The purpose of the meeting was to put a face on the coalition that will act in the face of the UN's failure. Tomorrow is the last day, according to Bush.

[cyncooper]

They're waffling. NO GO next week. More UN waffling, that's all. Trying to seek approval from the america-hating UN.

No, they're going to give the obstructionists a chance to hop on the moving train before it pulls out of the station. If they don't jump they miss the ride.

[July 4th]

Whoa! That was tough! Tomorrow the window will close.

[dawn53]

Punchline just delivered. Tomorrow is the day for UN to vote or not vote.
