If Hussein is stupid enough to do as you suggest, the entire world will unite against him.

That's blackmail, and even the Democrats will stampede to support regime change.

What other choice does he have at this point? Death or what else?

I think you need to put yourself in his place (as difficult as that may be). He knows his days are numbered, so he's going to use every tool in his arsenal - what does he have to lose?

I think he knows America's resolve, and he's run out of ideas. What would you do if you were in his shoes? Don't say "shine them."

Let's say he threatens to release his weapons in only those countries that oppose him.

I'd like to think you're correct, my friend, but unfortunately.........I'll have to side with those who predict the Dems would howl, tuck tail, and run like hell.

No they won't. Their MO is to "Let's forgive them and understand why they want to kill us. Let's appease them so they won't try to kill us anymore."

Uhhhhh.......agreed the world will unite against him, but the Gimmies will still NOT be UNITED as a party against him. Remember all the handwringing, cry baby socialists reside in that party.

Just heard on Fox News from Tariq Azziz - "If the U.S. attacks Iraq, they will suffer deaths not seen for decades...."

I believe the same is true with Osama -- if they catch him he will blackmail us with similar threats . . . .
