I agree; let him provide some WMD info (and let the info be confirmed) and some info on the connection between Al-Qaida and Iraq *FIRST*, then deal.

The Iraqi dictator is demanding safe passage to the former Soviet republic of Belarus. In exchange, he has vowed to provide information on weapons of mass destruction and disclose bank accounts where he siphoned off tens of millions of dollars in plundered cash.

Bush was right.

He maintained that Saddam had decided to seek a deal "because he is desperate, trapped and finding fewer and fewer people willing to give him shelter."

But...but...the democrats said we were losing this war. What's up?

To draw an analogy to Ann Coulter in "Treason", if this turns out to be true, there will be another "Judgment Day" for liberals on the magnitude of the Venona decrypts; but, the media (with Fox News and the internet around) can't simply blackout this one.

This could be the big one.

Could it be that, knowing this, Bush, et al, has just been pulling the "rope-a-dope" the whole time? I mean, if this turns out to be true, then Bush will have masterfully let the Dems dig themselves into a hole that they cannot dig themselves out of.

And, the icing on the cake would be the recent goading of the libs into coming out and saying that there is no connection between Iraq and Al-Qaida!

Leaders within the democrat party, upon hearing the news, are advising the rank and file to hold firm against negotiating with the Baath Socialist party. They cite possible prosecution under US laws governing anti-trust.

Liberal democrats, being socialist themselves, believe it unfair to attack comrades on the left.

Their motto, No Enemies to the Left!

"But the feeling of obligation gets less and less as time passes and the pressure mounts."

Hey Bin Ladin - Are you hearing this?
"Come to us if you want to live."

The libs' downfall will be that they are so damn nearsighted and predictable.

No need for a deal. If taken alive (and IMO, Saddam desperately wants to live), Saddam will talk or suffer.

Even if we get Saddam, all the Dims will still scream about the costs of the war and crank the din up even louder on demanding why we haven't gotten bin Laden, because Saddam really had nothing to do with 9-11, doncha know?

I'll bet even Saddam would take great pleasure in sliming Hans Blix and boasting how easlity he was fooled.

Until Saddam confirms a connection between Iraq and Al-Qaida -- which seems likely.

SADDAM Hussein has been in secret negotiations with US forces in Iraq for the past nine days, we can reveal.

Here's the deal. Since Uday and Qusay have already "purchased" their burial plots, Saddam gets his free! Make room for daddy, boys!

I wouldn't want to bet my life in a game of chess with him.
The overly emotional liberals are easy to excite, while Bush sits back and feeds their adrenalin buzz by saying nothing. All the while pondering and savoring his success.
I think I'll buy a nice bottle of ...ahem...American wine , and hold it for the comming news reports. Maybe some American cheese for a snack.

I can just imagine the campaign commercials that the RNC would be able to put out next year!

Ooohhhhhhh... if a filibuster proof majority was ever in our grasp. . . this could be the catalyst!!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed, boys!

I'm sorry folks the Mirror is not the most reliable news source around. And it's certainly hard to imagine that they'd be the one's to break this story. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't buy this story.
