Sounds like this might be from the 1/28 debate with Danner, at http://webcast.berkeley.edu/events/details.html?event_id=41

It's at the very end of the debate, 1:38. He doesn't say "There will be no war...", though, although I vaguely recall him saying something like that earlier in the debate.

I was really appalled listening to that when he described the upcoming attack as "dazzling".
