My recollection is that these presidential speeches tend to follow, not precede, the beginning of military action. Saddam better run now -- instead of weeks and months, it is now minutes and hours.

From what I understand, there will probably be two speeches--the first to warn everyone to get out, the second to say we've begun the liberation of Iraq.

But Bush is not just any President...he clearly stated he would address the American people before action started.
