            As much as I despise that useless travesty of a President, this one cannot fairly be placed on his doorstep. It has been the official policy of the US government for decades that assassination is not an acceptable tool of American statecraft. The key word is official; I can't confirm or deny that any particular administration may have violated that principle. I can't disagree that it would have been a better choice, but the American people would be offended by such an act, and a President would be committing political suicide on the domestic front if he admitted using such tactics. I rather liked the strategy employed against Noriega. Try him in absentia, convict him, then arrest him in his own country. If we had adequate intel assets in-country to pull that one off, I think the world, and the folks at home, would have found reasons to go along with it. It disturbs me, and many of us here in the states, to see so much destruction in the cause of bringing down one mad dictator. The loss goes beyond the human - the Coalition forces, the Iraqi troops, and the civilians who have the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. There is also the loss of infrastructure that will put such great burdens on an already impoverished people, the potential destruction of irreplacable architectural sites, and works of art and culture. Such a mad waste of resources just to eliminate one insane creature and a handfull of his cronies... My mother, of all people, made a sensible suggestion a couple of years ago. She said, "Tell Arafat - you want a homeland for your people? Bring us Hussein, and you can have Baghdad." I like the way she thinks.... Ancient man conquered his rivals with the jawbone of an ass; modern man uses the jawbone of a politician.

              Hey I was just wondering about this idea. Bush, Blair and others say their primary objective is to get rid of Saddam. Now what I was thinking is this: - Instead of spending billions and billions of $s, why didn’t they just hire 3-4 of the world's best professional killers and paid them to kill Saddam. They could also have tried to bribe some of Saddam's inside staff (by offering them in excess of 50 million or so) and made it easier for the killers. Just wondering. I mean it'd have saved a lot of money, a lot of lives and we wouldn’t have had to suffer endless coverage on CNN. Nish

              I think the idea has merit. But Iraq would have even more problems if Uday (Saddam's son) inherited the top job. So there is more than one person needing removing. Regardz Colin J Davies

I see military personnel being interviewed still seem to refer to the "allies", but politicians and journalists now use the phrase "coalition forces". Does it have something to do with old "allies" not wanting to have anything to do with this war? Of course, I expect you to know the answer to my question Roger :-O

                  I believe the word should've been "Exactomundo" and was first popularly coined by the "Fonz" in the TV comedy 50s-based series "Happy Days"... ;) "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can." "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

                      I think the security services of many countries have been trying to get at Saddam for many years now (The US, UK, Israelis, etc.) but he's just too elusive.

                        Get some US assasin. Let him find Sadam and trail him. He then phones back to Bush and says "Scope is on", Bush presses the Declare War button. War is declared, the assasin is told, he fires, phones back, Bush pushes the War Over button. Presto. :rolleyes:

                            fuck ups Nish. A lot of people assume that Sadman is an idiot. They be wrong. The dude is pretty switched on, if a bit nuts. Apparently he has a harem of doubles (some of which have been killed mistakenly) and sleeps in a different tent/palace each and every night too. I am pretty amazed that they can't track the real guy. But then they can't even track a chemical weapons plant (I keep asking myself that. Iraq is not THAT big. Surely they have every square inch photographed? But they keep cresting dunes and seeing things they were not expecting. Very weird IMO) so go figure. So they have tried, they just haven't managed to. So now the plan is to corner him in some Baghdad turkish baths with nowhere to run. Then they can chop through his doubles until the real one emerges. Then again, as Stan mentions, Sadam and his bro may be dead already.

                                        I asked because I noticed you used it on a couple of occasions, and I could not find it on dictionary.com. Thanks for the clarification. :)

                                          Get some US assasin. Let him find Sadam and trail him. He then phones back to Bush and says "Scope is on", Bush presses the Declare War button. War is declared, the assasin is told, he fires, phones back, Bush pushes the War Over button. Presto. :rolleyes:
