I knew someone on the web would be able to get a translation of the El Pais transcripts.

You can find them here.

A highlight.

Bush: It could be Tuesday afternoon, keeping in mind the time difference. In any case, next week. We see the resolution edited in a manner that it it not contain obligatory elements, that it doesn’t mention the use of force, and that avers that Saddam Hussein has been incapable offulfilling his obligations. This kind of resolution can be supported by many people. It would be something like the one that was obtained with regard to Kosovo [6/10/1999].

Aznar: Would you present it before the Security Council beforehand and independently or as a parallel declaration?

Condoleezza Rice: There wouldn’t actually be a parallel declaration. We are thinking of a resolution as simple as possible without many details of how it would be carried out, which could serve so that Saddam Hussein would stage it out and consequently not fulfill the provisions. We are talking with Hans Blix [head of the UN inspectors] and others on his team to get ideas on how to introduce the resolution.

At least in the past our administrations had the good taste to keep their corruption reasonably quiet.
