In retrospect, I consider this a ploy that is being exercised. Either one of two options will be exercised. Iraq will watch world opinion and capitulate when they see that there is no great uprising of Americans to support his belligerience. or, he is privy to the AQ plans that Interpol recenlty relesed and is counting on a "diversion" to buy him time. In a Saddam pipe-dream, there is another AQ attack, America's attention is diverted, Saddam appeals to the Euroweenies to allow him to "mediate" between the Islamofacists and the west. Whango-blango Saddam stays in power and is now a "player". Sound far-fetched? Perhaps. But, given the nature of the arab mindset, its all about posturing.

The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Naji Sabri, said on Saturday that "no decision has been taken", but other Arab diplomats at a late night meeting of the Arab League here said that in effect Iraq had already accepted the resolution. As he entered today's meeting, Mr. Sabri said the Arab Governments were firm in rejecting the use of force by the U.S. However, the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Maher, said earlier this morning, "I think we can expect a positive position by the Iraqis." The Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, indicated that Iraq would accept the resolution that dictated the return of arms inspectors. "They (Arab Ministers) welcomed Iraq's approval of this resolution with the confirmation Syria received that there would be no automatic military action," he said.
