Developments in the Iraq crisis: - President Bush told Saddam Hussein to flee Iraq soon or face a U.S.-led invasion, abandoning U.N. diplomacy to brace Americans for war within days. - Saddam, giving no sign of heeding U.S. demands that he step down, warned that American forces will find an Iraqi fighter ready to die for his country ``behind every rock, tree and wall.'' - Bush asked Australia to participate in the ``coalition of the willing'' in a war against Iraq. Australia's Prime Minister John Howard, a staunch Bush supporter, will gather his government Tuesday for a meeting to consider the request. - The United Nations ordered its weapons inspectors out of Iraq, widening the stream of diplomats and foreign journalists heading for the exits before any shooting starts. - The United States and Britain urged their citizens to leave Kuwait immediately, citing the risk of chemical or biological attack by Iraq or by terrorists. - U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix, ignoring the threat of a possibly imminent war, prepared to give the Security Council a 30-page report listing about a dozen key remaining disarmament tasks that Iraq should complete in the coming months. - Turkey's top political and military leaders called on the government to take urgent action to allow in U.S. troops. - British senior government minister Robin Cook quit as a revolt inside the ruling Labor Party escalated over Prime Minister Tony Blair's backing of military force to disarm Iraq without U.N. approval. - Israel's military instructed Israelis to acquire all the equipment they need to protect themselves in case of an Iraqi attack. guardian.co.uk

<< It's amazing how those who preach about what a great country this is and how "free" we are, are the first to tell those who openly disagree with them to get out, or call them traitors.... >> Get out, you traitor! MAN! My freedom of speech really felt good that time! People like you who say things like that are the real traitors, as you display little respect or love for the core values which made this country great.... Flag waving for foreign wars proves nothing except you have the ability to exercise your arms.
