Re: tesco

The thing is, the scenario where saddam must exit iraq is lose/lose for him. There is no provision he can take his country back if they find no wmd (would anyone believe anti-saddam people saying "hey we found some wmd"? Do I believe my US govt if they say "hey we found some wmd?" Not really...I believe the embedded journalists, and I bet the govt is kicking itself for embedding them...maybe Id believe the international community running the country, but then no one wants to do that, cause it isnt in the UN charter. I believed Hans Blix, but he had no time...) and there is no guarentee that the US wouldnt try to extradite or somehow *still* go after Saddam after he is flushed out of baghdad.

If I were saddam, Id cling to power as long as possible and hope world pressure builds enough force to stop the war before it kills me. Otherwise, Id probably die in the bunker, and not use WMD (Blix and others belive that he won't use them because he feels he has an important standing in the community as the leader of the "cradle of civilization")
