Has anyone considered letting Saddam go free?

Maybe we should give him back his money, his guns, his ammo. and see if he can restore order out of the mess we have brought to Iraq. I do agree that Kofi Amman is right that terrorism is worse than it was to begin with. How else can we get back to square one? I also agreed with Dr. Dean when he stated capturing Saddam did not make us any safer. All that we are doing is creating more suicide bombers out of Iraqis who's families we have bombed, this is stupid.

Saddam would at least get the oil to flow out of Iraq and scare the rest of the middle East oil producers to lower their crude oil prices so that we would have the where with all to protect their corrupt regimes from the evil Saddam. With Saddam locked up full boat greed is the order of the situation. Our whole life style is dependent on cheap plentiful oil.

3. Uh, no

It is called catching a Tiger by the tail, once caught, you dare not let go. The whole issue was, did we really need to tackle this particular tiger when we had Osama to worry about?

5. I advocated this months ago

It's the only legal recourse

6. The real point is: Lets hear a better plan if you have one.

Bush's plan (ha) is way more rediculous than the one suggested here.

8. I don't think so.

Any plan is better than letting Saddam go and putting him back in authority. Any plan at all. Not saying, Bush has the best plan, or even a good plan, but it can always get more screwed up, and this is one way to do it.

11. Any plan that does not include getting out within a year will get dumped

due to a inevitable large loss of popular support for the war. If it isn't back to Saddam it will most likely be, effectively a clone. It will require a ruthless anti-Israeli leader as long as the Israeli/Palestinian conflict continues.

7. No one would seriously advocate that

Of course Howard Stern has joked about letting Saddam back in Iraq and putting Bush in jail...but it's just a joke, and damn funny too!

[heidler1]

10. I wonder if Howard Stern was really joking?

9. YES!! and Bush should give him his pistol back

or they can have a duel. Mell Ziller presiding. :eyes:

12. Better yet--let him "escape" and recapture him right before

election. DOes that smack of desperation?
