Makes you wonder what classified information he knows, doesn't it? He is sacrificing his career for this, and he know it. Whatever it is, he thinks it's worth the price.

Any streaming available for Fox News?

No. The UMich. feed has been discontinued due to abuse.

Expect FNC to stream temporarily from their own site once the battle begins.

Agree with you entirely (except IIRC Arlington might be facing a critical supply crunch - did I hear we are running out of room?). If so put our honored war dead at Ground Zero!

Don't think they have streaming.

As I said before, let's read the statement they issued...When will that be read?

Rwanda

That says it all.

"Rwanda" = "Shut up, France"

"One day more!"

What an appropriate piece of music to think of right now. Think I'll put it on the stereo :).

I love what Bush said! Finally, we have some in the White House who not only has morals, but who has the testicular fortitude to stand up to evil! I love it! Bush has made my day.

My collected summary:

Atlantic Alliance. Eastern, Southern and Northern Europe are free to join.

GW seemed to say tomorrow (March 17)

British PM for 4 1/2 mo's now .....we were prepared to set out clear tests some days ago and the reason we approached him that way is because of 1441....serious consequences, and this is really the impasse that we have...some say this should be no authorization , instead MORE discussion, but the truth is that without the credible ultimatum, that more discussion is just MORE DELAY....with Saddam remaining armed with weapons of Mass Destruction and as a murderous regime....a game he has played over the last 12 years....where int'l comm driven into perpetual negotiation, but never real and concrete disarmament...not a single person on Sec Council that doubts he is not cooperating.....

Blair..
"NO ONE disagrees that Iraq is not complying " "We have reached the point of decision.." "We will do all we can.. IN THE SHORT TIME THAT REMAINS "

Azner: Transatlantic solidarity must be confirmed and the committment to keeping international law respected by all parties.

Blair: More discussion is a delay. Saddam continuing to play games. There's no one on the security council that believes that he is complying. No interview has taken place even though provided for in 1441. 10,000 liters of anthrax still unaccounted for. If we would have given a strong message at the beginning, Saddam would have realized he needed to comply sooner.

Blair says:
We will protect Iraqi territory and culture. Iraq's natural resources will remain the property of Iraq and her people.

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.
Tomorrow is the day for UN to vote or not vote.

Bush: "Saddam has not chosen wisely"

Bush: "Cards have been played" "France showed its cards"
res Bush: Cards have been played....UN is very important, which is why I went there on 9/12/02....let's make sure your words mean something....cooperate cutting the money of terrorists...remember Rwanda, or Kosovo...UN didn't do its job...if tomorrow they don't do their job we all have to figure out how to make it work...UN will def. need to have a role, begin to get its legs of responsibility back...

Bush: "Show your cards an old Texas/poker expression ......France's threatening veto has shown its cards. The UN must mean something."

CSPAN, right on the ball. This ought to be replayed once an hour, for the rest of the day. This was a pivotal set of announcements, and not easily deciphered.

Stock up on easy to fix meals. We're all going to be glued to FR and TV tomorrow and afterwards!

Isn't there a song from ANNIE called "Tomorrow"?
