...announced the move in his State of the Union address Tuesday, and its significance was underscored the following day by U.S. officials at the UN who announced that the special session of the Security Council would be open - and therefore broadcast live around the world - and that Powell would deploy audio-visual aids to make his case. U.S. officials at the UN also hinted that next week's session could even render redundant the planned February 14 report-back by UN arms inspectors.

As the one ally that has stood firmly by the Bush administration on Iraq - to the extent of ordering one quarter of Britain's entire army to deploy in the Gulf by mid February - Blair may have a significant role in shaping the diplomatic pre-game and timetable of any U.S. invasion. President Bush is signaling growing impatience with the UN weapons inspection process, and administration officials are furious at France and Germany's rejection of any move...
