saddameter: The odds of war in Iraq.
Ammo DumpThe odds of war.
By William SaletanPosted Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2003, at 4:16 PM ET

Chance of Invasion
Today: 84 percent
Bush says 1) U.S. intelligence shows Saddam is hiding WMD, silencing scientists, and helping al-Qaida; and 2) Powell will present this intelligence to Security Council Feb. 5. Bush indicates Saddam has blown "his final chance." Britain agrees Iraq is in "material breach" of U.N. resolution. Blair will lobby European leaders to support war. Russia says it could end up supporting war but now sees no "grounds for the use of military force."
Yesterday: 80 percent
