I'm very conflicted on this deadline thing. On the one hand, it would be most excellent if he did leave and no lives were lost in a war. On the other hand, if you set a time, 24,48,72 hours, don't you just telegraph when you're going in and give him one last chance to make mischief?

We will obviously be going in when the time is right.

Saddam's deadline is based on when the military timing for invasion is right. The military invasion is not based on Saddam's deadline.

Less than a week could be anywhere from 1 to 168 hours. We have to wait until the UN staff is out of the theater anyway, so might as well look magnanimous in giving Hussein the option of ceding power.

"Less than one week to leave Iraq"

That would be a huge waste of time. We would wait 6 days before he moves if he is going to. Give him 48 hours max.
