I hope it's unfounded, but my fear is that Saddam is gonna launch bio-laced SCUDS and such at Israel long before the 48 hrs is up---unless he's still as clueless as he has been in the past and actually believes he can win the war.
He'll wait until he's attacked I think. Thereby claiming the high moral ground.
and probably, we'll know if he did have such weapons.
the thought of SH on "moral high ground"... hmmmmmmmmm. that would be consistent with how things are going there. true. nice call, Warren!
cheers,

I'd almost hope for your bio-missiles contingency, since odds are that an inaccurate missile aimed at a well-defended target, carrying an undertested warhead with a fairly stale cargo would do little or no damage. Mr. Hussein has never managed to get bang for the buck (or ton) even on par with explosives from his chemical weapons, and biologicals are rather trickier.
But I suspect it's more likely that Mr. Hussein will opt for weapons of mass confusion, holding on to his notional moral high ground and working on whatever he has in store for those US army uniforms that he supposedly has had made. That would be rather more in character for the world's current leading expert at sowing confusion and discord.

I think there's a good chance Saddam will walk away now. He probably understands that fighting this time is suicide. He's much more the power-mad type of madman, and not so much a raving lunatic.
A long vacation in Libya, followed by plans to overthrow Qadaffi that never amount to anything, perhaps.
Let us all, that is those like myself who aren't convinced, and those that are, well, hope that this goes as well as can possibly be dreamed. And let's act in good faith to try to make sure it does.
And let's vote W out of office in the meantime. 🙂
Funny, joe!
Friedman in the WH is an interesting concept, why do I get the feeling he'd get assassinated? Vice President Sirhan?
I second the nomination for David Friedman. I'm Canadian, though... can I still vote?
Not in OUR elections, you won't! Get people like yourself together and vote some sense into Canada itself, Pedro!
I could definitely live with Friedman in the WH. But would he go?
Pedro, you can vote. Just make a quick trip to Chicago and tell them your a Democrat. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time to fill out all the ballots they give you.
Russ,
Friedman would have to be drafted, just like Plato invisioned all good philosopher-kings being pushed into office. 🙂
Yeah, because we know only Democrats are involved in voter fraud. *chuckle*
ORANGE Alert? On St. Patrick's Day? Let's kick his ass!
...And replace him with?
I wouldn't put this sort of military schanagans past the Dems either. The current corp of hard anti-war lefties are really in this to be against Dubbya as opposed to be for pacifism. If Algore were running this show I don't doubt for an instant the likes of Susan Sarandon and Charlie Scheen would be keeping their mouths shut and it would be the right-wingers who would be criticizing the present administration. (Not on the grounds that the US is attacking Iraq, but that those wussy liberals will screw it up.) Remeber that Hillbilly Clinton was talking up war with Saddam when he was caught with his pants down... literally.
Still... Geting rid of Dubbya would is nice to think about.
Mark S.,
How about David Friedman? 🙂
