Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
I was thinking more in terms of assassination via sniper or smart bomb. Perhaps even a bounty or bribe. Fomenting unrest in a police state like Iraq is futile.
As far as the rebellions after the first Gulf war, that was a no-go. The US's allies did not want Saddam out due to fear of the Iranians. Therefore Iraq proper was not entered and the Republican Guard was allowed to escape so that it could maintain Saddam in power. I guess they hoped he'd be chastened.
I would expect that in a year or three Saddam could be eliminated, if the US was both serious and secretive enough. Or perhaps not.
