let's see...72 hours...right about the time the NCAA's tip off on CBS....NOT.....a little payback for Rather's blather with Saddam?....hehehe

[Teacher317]

Hmmmm. Not many details about what might or might not happen even if he does surrender. Imagine that. Poor Uday. ;^)

[Types_with_Fist]

Matt's at CNN? Wow!

[MJM59]

What's next? Get outta town before sundown?

[cincinnati65]

In the words of Cartman..."Thank you for your participation. Now, get the fudge out."

[b4its2late]

IMHO, 72 hours is way too much time.....

[HamiltonJay]

From what I have seen of Saddam, and admitted it is pretty one sided, but even Quadaffi agrees the man is unstable. He will likely rather die in a last blaze of defiance than accept exile.... of course all it would take is one of his "generals" and 1 bullet to end this mess... Will anyone step up?

[appalachian_dweller]

I've heard 72 hours and 48 hours. Let's just wait and see what GWB has to say tonight.

Stay Alert. Stay Armed. Stay Safe.

Prayers for our troops.

I wish Putin would shut the hell up. Everything he says in this manner is simply digging his ass further in the soil.

[Semper Paratus]

Headline from Haaretz:

Officials: UN chief Annan to give order for all staff to withdraw from Iraq on Tuesday (Reuters)

That means you too Blix.

[uncbob]

Where is Saddam supposed to go

Nobody wants him

[chachacha]

And another delay! Keep begging GW. I support you but, you sure don't know when to stop begging. No matter where this nut runs he's a problem GET IT! GEES!

Bush to Saddam:

[Yaelle]

Saddam: "Should I stay or should I go now?? If I go there will be trouble... If I stay there will be double... Come on and let me know.. should I cool it or should I blow?"

[Chummy]

Memo

To: Saddam & Sons, Etc.
From: Uncle Sam
Date: 72 Hours Ago
Subject: Your Future


Blink.

We won't.

[MississippiMan]

As I said in another thread, this exile option is a terrible idea. Terrible. Don't be surprised if Saddam accepts it, and then Bush will have painted himself into a similar corner to the one his father created.

He's giving the bad guys 3 days to clear out of town. I thought the line was "be out of town by sunset."

The sooner the better. Go get them Bush!!!

US news reporting 82nd airborne getting ready for a action.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=926&e=4&u=/usnews/20030317/ts_usnews/battle_ready

NORTHERN KUWAITI DESERT--Paratroopers do not pack up their equipment unless they are getting ready to jump. The process is too numbingly laborious: rigging jeeps, humvees, and artillery pieces with parachutes and readying them to be dropped from cargo planes in the black of night. So there may be no more telling indicator of impending war than the 82nd Airborne Division's sweaty soldiers working around the clock to rig their equipment for what could be the most dangerous jump of their lives.

Their backbreaking work is critical. If the weapons aren't safely at the drop zone by the time the paratroopers touch Iraqi soil minutes later, they will stand little chance against Iraqi troops waiting to kill American soldiers falling from the sky. The 82nd trains to seize enemy airfields, and commanding officer Maj. Gen. Chuck Swannack and his intelligence staff have spent weeks poring over the key strategic airfields his troops might secure in the opening hours of an Iraq (news - web sites) invasion. But in the end, they know they could be asked to drop anywhere. "In the desert," says Swannack, "pretty much anything you look at is a drop zone."
