#1 Another deadline ? Sorry, that's nonsense. Saddam will give up two bottles of whatever on March 16, France will declare victory and Saddam will get another deadline. It should all have been over a few months ago.

#2 If I understood Bush correctly last night and over the past few weeks this date of the 17th is the outside date of action. The US/UK/Spain resolution will put out this deadline. If France etc. accept the resolution then bombs start flying after the 17th when Saddam doesn't disarm. If France etc reject the resolution (as seems likely) the deadline doesn't apply and the US goes ahead anyway, probably by the 17th.

#3 "Last chance!"

"One more last chance!"

"Okay, this absolutely the last and final chance!"

Rinse, repeat...

#4 Watched the whole process on CNN (no FNC here).
Was Jack Straw wound up? He certainly took deVileweasel on. Made my day. I sense the French may see all kinds of stories (military spare parts?) showing up over the next few days. Paybacks a bitch.

#6 This is getting to be like the the Firesign Theatre skit about the highway signs talking to the guy driving down the road:

"Antelope Road: 1 mile"
"Antelope Road: 1/2 mile"
"Antelope Road: 1/4 mile"
"Antelope Road: 1/8 mile"
"Antelope Road: 1/16 mile"
"Antelope Road: 1/32 mile"...........
