The US revealed at the weekend that it wanted to give the Iraqi leader 30 days to open his borders to weapons inspectors under new, strict conditions, or face a military strike. Anyone that opposes the above resolution is an aider and abetter of a sociopath intent on trying to gain time to achieve a splashy and catastrophic final exit. I really believe that is Saddam's goal, and the legacy he is intent on leaving us.
As McLaughlin would say: WRONG! Saddam is the ultimate survivalist and would rather eat his kids than pull off a dramatic ending.
