Azores Press Conference LIVE THREAD

Various

[Amelia]

For discussion.

[mware]

Question to President Bush, is tomorrow the last day to ratify this resolution.

President: Yes

[dixie sass]

Russians signed a pact with the Chinese - they won't go against them. Germany will do what Russia wants until it's to late.

Meantime, Korea is lurking in the background and being pushed by China to start something.

[alnick]

So it is to be March 17th after all.

[CT]

WE need to keep Saddam guessing. From a tactical standpoint, becuase the strategic surprise advantage was lost long ago, I say midnight tonight, Bagdad time.

Anybody know when that is?

[MinuteGal]

C, mon....is anyone really expecting them to give date and time the attack starts? Too many folks expect punchlines!

These are NOT declarations of war by the various speakers. It's background for the various constituencies of the leaders. We'll know soon enough when the first wave of attack commences.

Bush just said "tomorrow is the day when we learn if diplomacy will work."

After that, there's no tomorrow. Our president just made that CLEAR!

I gotta get a transcritp off this.!

[dead]

I don't know why every body is wondering what is being said here.

Sadam Hussein will be out of the country (not likely) or the bombs will be falling before next weekend. Probably by Wednesday. This diplomatic gobble-dee-gook is protocol.

Leave this week, or die.

[xm177e2]

This sure seems weaker than people expected. War within days? Hmmmmm, don't count on it....

"Tomorrow is the day we will determine if diplomacy will work"--Bush

Monday is the LAST DAY for diplomacy--but Bush isn't basing ANYTHING on the actual vote at the UN (which may or may not take place), he's saying Saddam has to DECIDE to disarm tomorrow.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Oh sh*t, end the conferences, don't put up with these American hating AHs......Enough of this BS talk.

Lets get it on damn it........

[FrogMom]

Translation:
UN - sh*t or get flushed.

[wiseone]

all this for only a ONE HOUR MEETING…..its very theatrical, just to announce war next week!

[RummyChick]

now is my bush...he is going at it

[Semper911]

24 Hour Deadline!

[Husker24]

Bush really sounds pissed off!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

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)....

They already know this. They don't care.

[dead]

Bush snaps! Sweet.

[Petronski]

Our President is PISSED!

[Patriot1998]

GWB is speaking and he is a little pissed!

[goodnesswins]

YEP.....we will IMPLEMENT 1441 AFTER tomorrow.... that's what I'm hearing...
