Carranza; Bush and Blair are moving ever closer to "ultimatum language." We've all seen this drill before, right? Right now what we are seeing is "ultimatum setup" language. Imo the gauntlet gets thrown down Sept. 12 at the UN in a political setting with a world-wide audience. The conditions of the ultimatum will, imo, be severe and unacceptable to the current Iraqi regime. After Sept. 12 things get real serious, real fast. Iraqi Threat Is Real, They Say washingtonpost.com Officials said the U.N. speech would amount to an ultimatum in which Bush will outline the threat in its starkest, most immediate terms and indicate that the United States will not wait much longer for international action. They said some details of the speech are still under discussion, including whether Bush would propose that the Security Council set a deadline for Iraqi compliance or issue a resolution authorizing an international military force to compel inspections. The president said yesterday that "my administration still supports regime change," then added without elaboration, "There's all kinds of ways to change regimes." Asked whether anyone besides Blair supported his position that Iraq's threat will remain as long as Hussein is in power, Bush said "yes."
