Nice press conference by Bush tonight... (IMO.. :0)

Especially where he stated that he would force a vote in the UNSC so all members would be required to "lay their cards on the table" and vote up or down..

Also.. as some pundits noted, he didn't look like much of a "cowboy" in his presentation. More like someone being required to do something that few UNSC members seem willing to do...

But most particularly effective was his point about UNSC 1441 where he stated the very boolean argument about whether Saddam has disarmed or not, as required by that resolution.

He clearly hasn't..
