<Iraq Says Ready for Dialogue if U.S. Abandons Force > I heard that last night on TV. It cracks me up that even at this stage, they want to lay conditions. I'm waiting to hear their "else" part, when the "if" part is not met.

'Are you ready for dialogue with the American administration to build economic ties and cooperation that fulfils mutual interests?' and we said yes...this still stands now," he said. A day late and a dollar short... Americans are not known for their patience, and I'm not particularly keen to seen as being susceptible to being "bought off" by a two-bit Hitler/Stalin understudy... I want Saddam gone... Because we're going to get all kinds of economic ties anyway are in our mutual interest just as soon as Saddam is either dead, exiled, or awaiting his war crimes trial. So why deal with him?? Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice, shame on me... Hawk

Iraq Says Ready for Dialogue if U.S. Abandons Force Right! Like every thinking American will really believe Iraq....after the last 12 years, and no compliance for any of the UN Resolutions... Maybe ALL of the left in Hollywood would like to go over to Iraq....and be human shields....after, of course, visiting the torture chambers....and the movable WMD vans...They might get to like Uday.... And NOT ONE CENT of money for Iraq.....Saddam has plenty. He just chooses not to let his citizens have it. It is, after all, their money he is spending for the palaces, WMD, missiles, etc etc etc.
