Yeah, Saddam thinks that, and so do most Freepers.

But he's losing the diplomatic war.

He lost 15-0 in the first round to this President.

We have troops in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey. He's now destroying missiles.

What does Saddam have to show for diplomatic wins?

Oh yeah, France is on his side. Maybe he finds that reassuring, but only if he hasn't read any european history books.

Saddam and Bush have different victories of victory. Saddam has managed to stave off his own death since November now. Iraq is now receiving the full support of a very vocal but quite small community of peace activists around the world. He is in a much better position than he probably hoped to be on.

On the other hand Bush would've hoped for 1441 to be the final resolution. Instead he is still playing around with the UN. Plus, Turkey has yet to allow American troops in, and France is raising a stink.
