I agree. If he had died in that first attack, the entire regime structure would be imploding right now.

In any gamble, luck is 10%, nerve is 90%.

We will see what we will see in the next 72 hours.

My bet is that our troops will be in Baghdad by Monday.

Not true. His sons and what survivors of the dirty dozen know they are in a fight to the death. They can not be taken alive because they can't even pronounce, much less find Gitmo on the map.

Not necessarily.
he's used doubles for so long that it'll take awhile for the machine to grind to a halt in th eevent of his death.
Once you're using doubles like that, it's hard for one to stop the juggernaut it becomes.

How do you know it's not?

Saddam has been dead for over two months. It has been kept quiet by his sons, and the highest members of the Republican Guard to keep the regime from toppling.
The meeting last night that was hit by bunker busters was the top staff getting together at the last minute to make final plans.
Saddam was bad, but his sons would be worse. That is why it doesn't matter if he is/was dead or alive. We have to finish off his entire regime to liberate the Iraqi people.

You forget that his sons are already in powerful positions ready to take over if Saddam is killed.
