RC>Saddam got freed from some of the limitations of the

     That appears the end result.  I have long favored simply
withdrawing from the area and letting those nations more directly
concerned deal with their own problems, but my idea was to do so openly
and without being deceptive about it and with no lingering commitments.
This deal essentially unleashes Iraq while maintaining a US commitment
of containment.
