#1 Let's just say that telling the truth to someone not of your tribe and/or religion is *optional*...

#2 If Sammy does step down - and I don't expect him to - it opens up a really interesting can o' worms, moreso than a straight war would do. All the exile groups are going to demand a piece of the pie, the lower-level Ba'athists are going to expect to hang in there. The Islamists are going to be grabbing for whatever power's available.

And everybody's going to be pointing to all the things that the Merkins have done wrong to bring this all about. Bush will have won a "war" without firing a shot, and the Dems will be bitching because he didn't, just as hard as they would have if he had.

I'm thinking seriously of becoming an alcoholic...

#4 The whole Baathist system has to come down. We will have to send thousands to exile, not just Saddam or the top 10. The arabs are trying water down the crisis by focusing on Saddam. Too bad Harry Truman is not around. He wouldn't mince words. Keep up the heat.

#5 With Qaddafi's bad health, and Sammy's willingness to move to Libya, does anyone else sense something fishy going on behind the scenes? It's probably nothing.
