With thanks to today's Guardian and Times...
1. Plans to open a northern front against Iraq - seen as vital to ensure a pincer movement against Baghdad - were looking shaky last night as Turkey resisted an ultimatum from Washington to accept US troop deployments or forfeit a multi-billion dollar compensation package.
2. The US and Britain have been forced to postpone until next week the publication of a second UN resolution designed to marshal support within the security council for military action.
3. The US secretary of state, Colin Powell, in effect accused the two European countries of being too cowardly to go to war.
4. The latest opinion polls in Turkey suggest that 90% of the electorate is opposed to war.
5. AMERICA’s relations with the Iraqi Opposition were in danger of breaking down yesterday after a leading rebel openly criticised plans for a post-Saddam Iraq and a powerful Shia Muslim group confirmed that it had deployed forces inside the country.
Your biggest problem now George is how the hell are you going to tell Daddy?...
