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.

Heard that Karen Hughes was on the plane flight over. This means they're writing "THE SPEECH".

I agree....... By tomorrow Saddam can be gone and out of Iraq or the consequence will be coming his way in short time that will be announced when the first bombs begins to fall...
