#1 Do these people ever stop to actually THINK?

We've recovered billions in US currency, gold, weapons, liquor, drugs, and just about everything else that a dictator could possibly want. If Saddam left, either 1) there's a bigger stash somewhere else that he can get his hands on, or 2) he's heading for somewhere that will support him in the manner to which he's become accustomed over the last 20+ years.

If it's 1), we'll find it, and do our best to get it back and give it to the Iraqi people.

If it's 2), good luck! I doubt he'll be able to find ANYONE who would put up with him for long.

The first choice I could see for a place of exile would be Russia. Russia, however, isn't rich, and won't put up with the excesses of a poor dictator for very long. The other choice would be France, where there are large quantities of money from the grossly-misnamed "Oil for Food" program. Either way, I don't see Saddam living much past next August, if he's indeed alive now.

Let the black (ops)arrows fly!
