The iraqi generals only need to pick up the phone and make the call.

I voted no. Why?

When you are in a position of strength, and you have boxed in your enemy, the offer is not to come from the superior position, it is to come from the lesser, and then honored with mercy by the superior.

Saddam knows the phone number to call.


Nuff said.

Saddam & co. would laugh at such an offer.. Perhaps something more along the lines of a vote would work. I bet that Saddam would be elected though in such a situation, given how well our campaign has made him into a hero in that part of the world.

Surrender and give himself up to the world court to be tried for his crimes? Yes.

they know they will lose but they will fight right up until the end, these suicide bombings prove that they are just trying to cause as many deaths as possible.
