Bush to Hold News Conference Thursday Night

With the United States seemingly on the brink of an invasion, Fleischer made clear the news conference was not for any critical announcements about the Iraq crisis.

"This is a news conference. This is not a scheduled announcement of anything," Fleischer said.

Well, I'm not sure what this will be about, but the President wouldn't ask for our attention if he didn't need it.
It doesn't sound as if he's going to announce the start of the campaign to liberate Iraq, but who knows?
Stay tuned.
