Yeah, your right, too late for him to exile. I mean, the US even gave him 48 hours to do it! How long does the world need to wait for the US / UK to find weapons of mass destruction? I mean, whats the hold up? CIA can't get anything over there fast enough?

We've caught tons of flak because some people claim Saddam was never a real threat to the USA. One of the thing heard again and again is that Saddam has done nothing to the USA, but you think it is more acceptable or a better idea to take action against a country that is a supporter, an ally and a friend? A country that not only has done nothing to the USA but doesn't talk about attacking us or stirring up hatred for us inside their borders?
You might have a point with your 48 hours comment except that it's total bullshit without the tiniest basis in reality. Other than that, it's right on. That last 48 hours was just the final 48 hours. He's had 12 years of warnings to stop fucking around and months and months of warning about what was coming this time. There were calls for his resignation/exile for many weeks immediately preceeding the action in Iraq. Just because he was given one final warning at -48 hours doesn't mean he only had 48 hours.
