"Over weekend, US president will meet British and Spanish prime ministers in Azores to discuss UN Security Council stalemate on their ultimatum resolution for Saddam. Strong tendency in Washington to avoid putting motion to vote."

If this is the case will the Brits be given a chance to opt out of their combat role as Rummy suggested? If i were Blair, i would roll the dice all the way. There are other jobs to be had, if he gets the boot. But of course, if were saddam, i would be looking to take the 2 billion in bearer bonds and i would be off to the riviera. But seriously, Blair should do a churchill here or a thatcher. He has come this far--he should go all the way.
