QUESTION: Scott, what is President's response to the clear statement in the British ally's memo that British ministers were asked to quote agree to engage the US on the need to set military plans within a realistic political strategy, which includes identifying the succession to Saddam Hussein and creating the conditions necessary to justify government military action, which might include an ultimatum for the return of UN weapons inspectors to Iraq ?

QUESTION: Scott, about the President appearing in a flight suit on an air craft carrier with a sign that read Mission Accomplished and the fact that more than twelve hundred Americans have since died in Iraq and more will die before we are done. What is the President's response to this recently revealed July 21, 2002 British Cabinet Meeting Briefing that says quote the US Government's military planning for action against Iraq is proceeding apace.
