WON'T BE MONDAY:

Bush to Give Saddam a Final Ultimatum (Washington Post, 3/17/2003)
President Bush planned to address the nation Monday night to give Saddam Hussein a final ultimatum. "He will say that to avoid military conflict Saddam Hussein must leave the country," spokesman Ari Fleischer said.

Presumably Saddam gets one day. Tuesday night it is. Posted by Paul Jaminet at March 17, 2003 10:50 AM

I must point out, there's nothing stopping us from invading Iraq right now, taking the portions we believe we can take without significant resistance, and then just give him an ultimatum to leave before we take the harder stuff.



Not saying that's what'll happen. Just saying, that's what could happen. [shrug]

OK, I'll stick with Monday night.

Final ultimatum. That's what's wrong with the last few months. Nobody gave any final anything, much less ultimatums.



But the Post has never spoken anything but broken English.
