Looks like our next deadline is January 27th. Blix will not announce anything major on Iraq. Bush will declare a "Material Breach" and tell the UN he wants to attack Iraq</>

Iraq in 'material breach'
U.S. takes big step toward war with arms declaration
By David Westphal -- Bee Washington Bureau Chief
Published 2:15 a.m. PST Friday, December 20, 2002
WASHINGTON -- In a key development that put the United States a long step closer to war, Secretary of State Colin Powell on Thursday declared Iraq in "material breach of U.N. disarmament requirements and vowed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein will lose his weapons of mass destruction "one way or another."

Hours earlier, chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix acknowledged Iraq had failed to comply with a U.N. demand that it fully disclose its nuclear, biological and chemical weapons arsenal. A recent 12,000-page report submitted by Iraq, said Blix, provided "relatively little" of use to the inspectors.


Although President Bush had warned Iraq that its weapons report represented its "last chance" to avoid war, the administration was not yet ready to declare that a military conflict was inevitable.
