I agree with you guys about flushing (pun intended) these guys out to where they may possibly be hit.

I also think that it served to show to the world that GW isn't quite the uncompassionate soul that some people think. Surely he doesn't want innocents to be killed any more than the next person. If Saddam sought exile, we'd be able to go in and begin to set up a more democratic government. Of course Saddam acted as expected by all.
