Tony hasn't given his word as a English gentleman, precisely, but:
"The one thing that I want to make absolutely clear is that at the end of this, Iraq is not going to be run by Americans or by Britons, or by any other outside power.
"As soon as the process of transition is over, it's going to be run by Iraqi people and a broad, representative government, not a small clique, an elite around someone like Saddam."
That's pretty straightforward. So I would expect him to resign on principal if the US Government fails to take the same position.
Now Iraq's Information Ministry is promising "non-conventional action" in the defense of Baghdad -- sounds like fair warning of a "martyrdom" suicide attack to me.
Two topical items on disarmament, our casus belli: Some white powder has been found at one Iraqi site, Latifiya. "But a senior US official familiar with initial testing said the white powder found at Latifiya was believed to be explosives, AP reported."
Meanwhile, a report suggests the war could boost the sales of the defense industry -- in Russia. Yeah, makes sense. Remember how the Falklands war boosted interest in the Exocet?: "According to some analysts, there has already been a surge in interest for Russian weapons at the IDEX-2003 arms exhibition, the biggest in the Middle East, which took place on the eve of the war in Abu Dhabi from March 16 to 20."
Gotta go. I can quit any time, I know I can...
