In one sense, it is good for Saddam to think he can survive even if he loses as it may serve as somewhat of a deterent to use WMD. During Desert Storm he did not use these weapons for fear of the US response. If, however, he were to think that we weren't stopping until he was captured or dead than he might think he has nothing to lose this time around and use them.

If he's dead, he's not governing Iraq.

Sodom shall be murdered by his own people, most likely carried out by a renegade faction within the Republican Guard...and little other blood will be lost in achieving the Iraqi Regime Change.

The exile idea seems to be popping about lately.

Capturing the Saddam dog? What a waste of manpower!

We have newer, more smart weapons that will simply do this to him and his doubles, one at a time...:

The defence secretary said Saddam’s voluntary departure would be the preferred course.

Exile, that sounds good. But where? Hmmm, there are many tempting BLUE STATE locations, but I suggest the government buy him a house right next to Barbara Streisand.

Alternates include the following:
Berkeley, CA
Cambridge, MA
Paterson, NJ

I'm hoping that someone in Saddam's cabinet is actually on our payroll, and once the attack starts he just caps old Saddam. We've got to get the sons as well as they are probably even more twisted than their father.

You got that bass-ackwards. We didn't take him out, for fear of his response.

Killing Saddam Hussein, or at very least bombing him out of his palaces and into hiding -- which would also achieve the stated aim of regime change -- is, militarily, a trivially easy task for the United States. The problem is, we are afraid of what will happen if we kill him. And no wonder:

WE HAVE THIS ANTHRAX
