This is just Saddam muddying the waters. With the "Parliment" recommending rejection, Saddam puts pressure on the other Arab states because they may have to come out and either support or oppose an attack. Countries like Syria, which voted for the UN resolution, will never support a US attack on Iraq. Saddam is trying to break the coalition. Then, at the last minutes on Friday (or possibly even after Friday) he will come out and accept the resolution. Then the real delaying tactics can begin.

It won't work. We are pretty much ready to go. We have the capability and the resolve. Delaying tactics by Saddam will only serve to bolster our case.

In any case Saddam will only accept with conditions. I think you're looking at a countdown towards war. If Saddam wants to dig his own grave, that's fine with me.

This is a joke, if we play along, shame on us.
