BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq has rejected a U.S. ultimatum for President Saddam Hussein to go into exile or face war, saying a decision by the United Nations to withdraw its staff from Iraq was an "unfortunate decision". Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri told reporters that "any child" in Iraq knew that U.S. President George W. Bush's ultimatum to Saddam was a non-starter.

"The only option (to secure peace) is the departure of the warmonger number one in the world, the failing President Bush who made his country a joke," Sabri said on Monday.

If the answer is no, can we forego the 72 hour waiting period and start anyway? No sense in letting Saddam blow up the Iraqi oil fields and causing trouble. No time like the present to go in and get the job done.

Did Iraq reject or did France? LOL


Good, that makes things easier now, doesn't it?

[Hadean]

Exactly what I was thinking.

I'm beginning to see what his problem is. Wrong Bush.

Color me unsurprised.

Don't laugh at your own reply, it's considered trite.

Me and my dad do this all the time...the wives consider it endearing...

Per Fox The President is being advised to leave a deadline out!

He should say 'the moment you hear the Shock and Awe, it will be too late. Make your way out of the country as soon as possible, there will be no further warning.'

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Yes I heard the same thing, WH Advisor are asking Bush to leave out the 72 hr deadline.

Just go with times up.

I wish for a worldwide protesters calling for Saddam to resign!

If I can't be a mass-murdering, tyrant and I can't spend all my money on palaces and WMD, then I don't want to play anymore with anybody.

Does that include children who were tortured into insanity?
