So much for the exile talk. It was good entertainment, though.

Nah, he's gonna go into exile as soon as anything serious happens (our first bombing run that takes out palaces, etc.) Ol' Saaddam knows the jig is up and bluffing won't work. He's gonna be outta there.

You're probably right, but he has miscalculated so hugely in the past, I'm not sure. He may really think he can beat us in that "door to door" fighting around Baghdad.

He will have an exit strategy, and he will bolt and run when it is clear that he's going to get caught if he sticks around. But it won't be before a war has started.
