It's 48 hours for Saddam and his offspring to get the heck outta Dodge. The airstrikes begin some unspecified amount of time after that ... (probably no more than, say, 10-15 minutes).
And no, Syc, I hadn't really paid attention to the earlier reports, assuming they would primarily be wild speculation.
(I did like the story about Tariq Aziz being too scared to deliver the ultimatim to Hussein because of a perceived tendency of his to blame the messenger.)
