U.N. pulls out from Iraqi border

KUWAIT CITY (CNN) --U.N. observers have ceased all work in the demilitarized zone on the Iraq-Kuwait border, withdrawing all remaining personnel from the area.

In a development analysts have called a concrete sign of impending war, staff from the U.N. Iraq-Kuwait Observer Mission (UNIKOM) began leaving posts on both sides of the zone Monday.

The move came after U.S. President George W. Bush said Sunday the "moment of truth" was approaching and giving the U.N. one last day for diplomacy to work.

Happy St Patrick's Day.

May the luck of the Irish be with us all.

He and his ilk are eschatologists. Their brand of Christianity includes the belief that these are the end times, or close to them, and that they've got to act as if it were their job to get things all neat and tidy for Jesus when he comes back. They'll listen to common sense when the Son of God comes down from heaven and throws down their prayer meetings for turning his Father's house into a den of thieves, and not a moment before - and even then I don't know if they'll listen.

Well, they'd likely disbelieve him first - he's a longhair who talks about peace after all.

They'll probably have CIA photographs to prove that he is not the Son of God.
