if hussein would have left than there would be no threat...hence no occupation of iraq.
not true.....the u.s. has already said that even if saddam left the country, we would still continue our occupation until a complete regime change was in place. now, if the entire regime stepped down, thats different, and wouldve possibly had a different outcome. like i said, we will never know because saddam was unwilling to even discuss this. saying that saddam might have secretly talked about surrender/exile is the only fabrication that you are clinging to at this point, and there is absolutely zero evidence to support your views whatsoever. in contrast, there is evidence to back my view that he never had any intention of considering exile, including multiple statements/promises from saddam himself on the matter. if you believe he considered exile, the burden of proof is on you to show it, which you cannot. but hey, its all about our original argument, isnt it? that being, whether or not saddam is a "rational" man. you can keep clinging to that belief, i wont hold it against you, lol.
