Saddam and Osama.
It seems clear to me that between Saddam Hussein and
Osama bin Laden, bin Laden is by far the more dangerous.
So George Bush, especially if he has any proof of a
connection between them, should offer Saddam a deal:
help us capture and/or kill bin Laden and we will
leave you alone. If Saddam is as unscrupulous as
he appears to be, he should have no qualms about doing
anything to save his own ass. As a result, we will get
the man who really does want to cause us harm and we will
avoid a costly and unpopular war. If we could support
Saddam in his war against Iran, why not now? And perhaps
he'll piss off al Qaeda and they will kill him for us too.
That's the way to do it -- get our two enemies fighting
with each other.
