WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush, during a Monday night national address, will make clear "time is very short" for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to avoid military action, an administration official told CNN. A 72-hour ultimatum "is in the right ballpark," the official said.

Bush, in a televised address set for 8 p.m. ET, will demand that Saddam yield power and leave the country, the White House said.
