Steve in my opinion not a chance, not a chance Saddam will accept the resolution now.This is exactly how Saddam wanted this. There is NO parliamentary process here at all.
This was all his device to say i am now doing the will of the people.

<<If he rejects, he has 4 days.

Which would you choose?>. The question, which would Saddam choose. And i say his choice has already been announced by the "parliament".
Why? He has one longshot, get the U.S. to start striking BEFORE they have accomplished their 200,000 plus force build up and prep.
Early strikes will be bombs which will, in Saddam's mind, give him the time to play victim and rally the people.
Saddam is in a noose, his chances of prolonging the becoming of a hanged man i suspect are best from his view in getting U.S. to make strikes early while he is deep in one of his many bunkers. Max

If Saddam rejects there will likely be immediate airstrikes.

You can be sure he accepts the terms of the UN resolution. There is no doubt about it; at best all he can do is try to put on a show for the international media...just before accepting the terms. He wants to somehow show that Iraq is a victim of US aggression.

After all, he is a dictator that wants to hold on to power any way he can...and he knows Bush is very serious.
