20.01.50 Different administration officials pressing the need for Iraq to disarm or face military consequences. President George W. Bush stating "How much time do we need to see clearly that he's not disarming. As I've said this looks like a re-run of a bad movie and I'm not interested in watching." Secretary of State Colin Powell speaking at UN "We can not be shocked into impotence because we're afraid of the difficult choices that are ahead of us." Deputy Secretary of State says "We must never let fear of the unknown stop us from defending our nation with force, if that is our only recourse." The international community is not onboard (anti-war). David Sanger, of the New York Times, gives his report on the views and feelings in the international community.

20.07.41 Majority Leader Bill Frist interviewed on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer "We have controllable things like prescription drugs, like a growth package, a jobs and growth package like the president put on the floor, we have the issues of the uninsured , we have education in this country. Our approach is going to be, I can't promise you, but as Majority Leader I'm going to do my best to bring those to the floor of the United States Senate. To make sure we debate those and that there are trade offs. The Democrats unfortunately will say well let's just keep on spending more and more and more and more." Minority Leader Tom Daschle responding to Gwen Ifills question "Well, the President's plan will not pass, I think it's fair to say that it lacks even Republican support sufficient for passage and it won't pass in part because it's not simulative, it only creates a hundred and ninety thousand jobs, it's just not fair to give twenty billion dollars to two hundred and twenty six thousand millionaires and only fifteen billion dollars to ninety two million Americans who fit in the fifty thousand dollar income category or less, it's not fair." Alexis Simendinger of the National Journal discusses what may discussed in the President s State of Union Address.
