Reuters - yesterday
CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Friday that Iran has "weeks not months" to respond to a U.S.-backed offer aimed at containing Iran's nuclear ambitions and said Tehran needs to suspend uranium enrichment. At a joint news conference with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Bush said that if Iran does not suspend enrichment, "there must be a consequence."The London Guardian - January 30, 2003
I won't even make a joke about Congress being able to keep the president in check. Some things just aren't funny anymore.The US president, George Bush, has said he would give diplomacy over Iraq "weeks, not months" - but that he would welcome the exile of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "For the ake of peace, this issue has to be resolved," Mr Bush said, in an effort to increase pressure on a divided international community. Mr Bush was speaking after meeting Italian president Silvio Berlusconi - one of eight European leaders to back the US position in articles in the Times and
the Wall Street Journal today.

This is exactly what I thought when I heard the quote. As before, I wonder, "if the worst-case estimates show that they are years away from the Bomb, why must it be weeks rather than months?"
By the way, how are you doing? Let me know when a good time to call is...
