WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) decided Wednesday he will condemn Iraq's weapons disclosure as full of omissions and deceptions but will not immediately assert that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) is in "material breach" of the United Nations (news - web sites) � a finding that could trigger war.

Instead, Bush plans to launch this week what aides called a deliberative process that would push the prospects for military action into next year, officials said. He will press the United Nations to demand interviews outside of Iraq with Saddam's weapons scientists, hoping they will reveal secrets that would bolster Bush's charges against Saddam.

Should also see a rebounding of the stock market tomorrow. It was absolutly tanking today on war rumors. And there's a lot of relief for military families.

I hear after the Holidays 50,000 more troops are headed to the Persian Gulf along with a mass supply of tanks and aircraft. Over the next two months we hope to have 250,000 Troops in the Persian Gulf. We're even flying over Iraq sending radio transmissions telling the Iraqi "Military" to abandon Saddam or face death.

The thing is, that we are going to go into a war no matter what. Bush is giving Saddam a little bit more time to back down, but he won't.

Yeah... but on the "we'll go to war anyway", with Bush, you never know.

a war military campaign against terrorism is not a war you can actually win.

We just want to stop as much terroism as possible.

Now we're back on the warpath again. ARRRGH!

Did anyone else feel as if Bush was going to say "major violations" no matter WHAT they turned up??

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... the country elected Bush and now we get gore, more gore, and lots more gore.

cnn said jan is the deadline with the UN thingy so apparently feb is possible cuz in march it;d get really hot in their biological and chemical warfare protection suits

Sounds like the title for a snuff film...

The main thing is that Iraq has lied about their weapons programs in the past, what makes you think that now all of a sudden there're going to cooperate? They are a threat and need to be disarmed.

Lupe its more about how many people or countries that could actually finance acts of terrorism. As far as people are concerned you have to be up their in terms of finances (multimillionaires or billionaires). As far as countries well those that are considered capable of potentiating such a threat, have been identified.

North Korea, Pakistan a coup away from rouge nuking India......think that the 'might-could-one-day-maybe-have' perspective on Iraq might be rethunk, huh?
