  • Story Text: Just hours before he was expected to deliver a final
    ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq or face
    annihilation, U.S President George W. Bush was spotted taking
    a short, contemplative break with his dog on the south lawn
    of the White House.



    Amid a flurry of political, diplomatic and military
    activity around the world, the president looked a lonely
    figure as he played fetch on the Whitehouse lawn with his dogs
    Barney and Spot.

    Reuters Television recorded Bush's contemplative moment
    just hours before a scheduled address to the American people
    explaining why he thought war with Iraq was necessary.

    In his address on Monday (March 170 Bush was expected to
    give Saddam a brief window, perhaps 48 or 72 hours, to depart
    Iraq before the shooting started.

    Assuming Saddam stands firm as he has vowed to do, the
    attack could begin within hours of the U.N. inspectors leaving
    Iraq. They have been told to leave Iraq within twenty four
    hours.

    Opinion polls in the United States showed Bush, who is
    betting his presidency on the war, has solid support from U.S.

    voters.
