Here's praying Saddam and his sons take a good long look at the travel brochures for Bahrain. Maybe they could even start a tea and tennis club for former dictators in cushy retirement exiles.

It's a nice thought... but not only have they already refused to be ousted from their own country, Bush has also stated he's invading Iraq even if they leave.
So it basically comes down to what the war opposition has been saying all along - this isn't about anything but taking over Iraq and setting up someone who will "serve American interests" (pssst - that means "sell us cheap oil").

FAIR, an organization I don't always agree with, made a very good point about the "ultimatum" as manipulation of the media. The media took the bait -- instantly there were headlines not about "Bush's threat" but about "Hussein's refusal."
