The only way to avoid the serious consequences is for Saddam Hussein and his immediate cohorts to leave the
country.
IRAQ IMMEDIATELY REJECTED THAT IDEA, AND VOWED TO FIGHT. THE END OF
DIPLOMACY CAME AFTER THE US, SPAIN AND GREAT BRITAIN PULLED THEIR
RESOLUTION CALLING FOR MILITARY ACTION - BEFORE A U.N. VOTE.

DIPLOMATIC FAILURE ON A VETO THREAT FROM FRANCE.
JOHN NEGROPONTE/U.S AMBASSADOR TO U.N
it's most regrettable, as we said earlier, that in light of the explicit
decision of one country to exercise its veto it was not possible to move this resolution forward.
THE DECISION LEAVES A CLEARLY DIVIDED SECURITY COUNSEL. EVEN THOUGH WAR
SEEMS IMMINENT, THOSE OPPOSED TO MILITARY ACTION URGED A MEETING
WEDNESDAY FOR A LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO ACHIEVE A PEACEFUL END TO THE CONFLICT.
GUNTER PLEUGER/GERMAN AMBASSADOR TO U-N
If there's one percent chance to avoid war do 100 percent effort
THE PRESIDENT HASN'T SAID HOW LONG HE'LL WAIT BEFORE GIVING
THE ORDER FOR WAR, BUT HE'LL REPORTEDLY GIVE SADDAM AND HIS FAMILY 48
HOURS TO LEAVE...AND IF HE DOESN'T WAR COULD START ANYTIME AFTER THAT.

Trustees for the programs for the elderly made the reports today.
Social Security's projected insolvency was pushed back one year to 2042.
Medicare's projected date a year ago for running out of money was 2030. Today, that date was adjusted to 2026.
