WLD- with all due respect, I don't see where you get the U.S. is "backing down" in any way on Iraq/immenent attack..

Just 'cause U.S./U.K are seeking another resolution, concurrently while setting things up for attack does not mean they are backing down. Blair maybe created a little wiggle room to step back from joining U.S. this weekend, but not much. Brits are irrelevant anyway, Bush has been clear that this is not about a popularity contest, nor needing allies..U.S. made this decision (to attack Iraq) based on the assumption that they'd be alone, IMO

All I'm seeing is continued diplomatic maneovering to squeeze out more support (quasi-U.N mandate), nothing more...we go with or without it..
