I always have wondered why we would give Saddam the exact date we were moving in.

We want or at least we shouldn't.... To tell the world, Saddam and others only places more danger there for the troops... imo

Very clear deadline for the UN.

Bush and Blair also careful to acknowledge other issues in Mid East.

Bush is foreceful right now, reiterating UN stance when 1441 was passed.

Now, date of so-called start of war (already we have been softening, etc.) is indefinite, and not going to be given away. But the deadline for diplomatic action, and for Saddam to unilaterally disarm, is tomorrow. Period.
