If Sodamn Insane at the last moment, decided to go into exile like Idi Amin, where should he go, and what restrictions should we put on him? How much money can he take?
If he leaves, would he eventually be killed?
Do you think the world would accept him being alive and living well?
Do you think we should just roll on Baghdad and get it overwith?
Would it be a diplomatic coup for Dubya for the poker game?
How could you argue with this option?
The United States would try to help find a haven for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, his family and close aides if he would agree to leave Baghdad, Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday.
"That would be one way to try to avoid war," Powell said at a news conference
Powell endorsed exile for Saddam but said it would not be up to the United States alone to determine whether the Iraqi leader should be granted immunity from prosecution as a war criminal.
"If he were to leave the country, and take some of his family members with him, and others in the leading elite that have been responsible for so much trouble during the course of his regime, we would, I'm sure, try to find a place for them to go," Powell said at the State Department.
"That certainly would be one way to avoid war, and we have indicated that before," he said.
Powell and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld discussed the possibility of Saddam going into exile during briefings on Capitol Hill, said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.
DeLay said that "if it's done under the right conditions, I would say they see that as an option. There are still possibilities out there to avoid going to war."
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the administration is "now entering the final phase" and only a narrow "diplomatic window" remains open.
