On this day in 2003

March 15 2003

Coalition drops nearly a million leaflets. See leaflets. Some of the leaflets contain messages "used to inform Iraqi people about United Nations Security Council resolutions".
Barely a day before the leaflet drop, Bush prepares to meet with two allies "in a last-minute attempt to head off what looks to be an embarrassing defeat at the United Nations for the resolution backed by the U.S., Britain and Spain which would authorize war on Iraq."

Was that, like, pre-emptive, pre-meditative, pre-sumptuous, or just pre-posterous?
