G, OT a dream scenario
Its like boxing--bobbing and weaving. Saddam is getting back now some of what he has dished out over the past 11 years. If he believes what is coming will overthrow his regime, he certainly has an interest in salvaging what he can. All the folks here who think he is rational should buy into this. I am skeptical but after what i saw from the North Koreans yesterday, perhaps even the Hitlers of the world have some common sense when faced with overwhelming force. This Possibliity melds the thinking of all who have posted on the thread pertaining to this issue. It would be remarkable if Iraq actually gives up WMD. And if Saddam is at all pragmatic he could walk away from WMD as a hero of sorts, opening up the oil spigot along with trading with the West including the US.
However I suspect that at some point some Democrats(Daschle) will be yapping that the US is in bed with right wing dictators like saddam if this scenario plays out. mike
