Stalemate? If Saddam pre-emptively anthaxes a city and "reveals" himself, we do nothing? And if he does it a 2nd time, and a 3rd? I don't understand what you mean by stalemate.

[Alas Babylon!]

I agree. It's a pretty foolish statement. The whole country wouldn't stop their rage and anger until Saddam was dead and his brew-dall-ized head was on a spike.
