Interesting! I guess I was thinking it would be more like Thursday...giving the UN inspectors lots of time to leave...but I have no basis for believing that.

UN Inspectors have already had plenty of time to leave. Blix isn't there is he?
Then, consider this: the inspectors are concentrated in the Baghdad area. The first moves of the war will be unannounced lightning strikes to the secure the oil fields from Iraqi sabotage, and these moves will not directly endanger the inspectors.
Any allied announcement will come after the moves to secure the oil fields from sabotage has been underway to the point that the Iraqi regime knows it already.
