"I will use all the latest intelligence to make informed decisions about how best to keep the world at peace, how best to defend freedom for the long run," said President Bush. "Listen, it's a healthy debate for people to express their opinion. People should be allowed to express their opinion, but Americans need to know I'll be making up my mind based on the latest intelligence and how best to protect our own country and our friends and allies. Right now, signs point to yes. Will we prevail? As I see it, yes. When will we attack? Cannot predict now. Will Saddam try to use weapons of mass destruction if we do nothing? It is certain. Will he strike at Israel to attempt to ignite an Arab/Israeli war? Reply hazy, try again. I mean...my sources say yes. Very doubtful. Most likely. Um...I gotta go."
