Saddam Defies Ultimatum; Iraqi Ambassador warns that no Americans are safe

The deadline for Saddam to leave Iraq is 4:15 a.m. Iraqi time (0115 GMT) and most observers expect the fighting to begin soon after.

France's ambassador to the United States, Jean-David Levitte, said Paris could yet join U.S.-led action if Iraq used biological and chemical weapons, saying such a move would "change the situation completely and immediately."

Iraq was doing some psychological warfare of its own. Iraq's U.N. ambassador warned all Americans would be at risk, whether inside or outside Iraq, if war came.
