A very plausible reason why they are handling it this way is that they may well have suspected right away that they got him, but could not be sure until the invasion played out and they saw how Iraqi forces reacted (were they being led or just flailing away on their own). They probably also would not want to announce it until we held the whole country -- including occupying Baghdad -- because the moment the military aspect ends the diplomacy picks back up again. And we need possession of the country before that happens -- possession is that 9/10ths...

Can you imagine the howling and crying from the UN if we announced that we knew with absolute certainty that Saddam was toast, and yet kept bombing the snot out of Baghdad? W remembers, as well as we do, that short-stop outside of Baghdad in 91, and he isn't about to pick up his dad's failure to prosecute to total victory. They're smart to keep these cards close.

Thanks for the ping. With Saddam & Sons likely dead, the head of the beast has been removed ! . . .

I said to my wife this morning, "If Saddam's alive, he HAS TO make some sort of defiant appearance on TV today, and quickly; it's absolutely crucial for his people and officers and troops to see he's alive and still in control. Let's see what happens today."

Exactly. Why no live appearance, while holding a copy of the New York Times for any day after March 19? That would show definitively that he is alive. I haven't seen any such video. Have you?
