ASHINGTON, March 18 ? The White House said today that Saddam Hussein was making his "final mistake" by rejecting an ultimatum ordering him to leave Iraq or face war.
Administration officials said President Bush was meeting today with military advisers on the details of an attack that might come at any time.
Although Mr. Bush has given Mr. Hussein until 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday to leave Iraq or face war, Pentagon officials said the wording of the president's warning on Monday was intended to leave open the option of military action before then in the event that Mr. Hussein rejected the deadline.
