a.) There is a longstanding policy against assassination; and b.) we could not have gotten close enough without invading Baghdad, since Hussein was deep underground.

Since we would have had to invade Baghdad, we would have had to take responsibility for whatever government succeeded. We believed, frankly, that the opposition was too weak to succeed without our help, and could not install a Bath'ist successor and walk away, given the probable brutality with which he would have maintained territorial unity.

DK, You really don't know much about the outside world, do you? Like, there are thousands of Hussein doubles, and the real Sadaam lives in a bunker under ground so far that he cannot be reached by anyone, or anything. The only way to get him, would be to destroy Baghdad, and everything in and around it. Even then, you would probably have to contaminate the soil in the whole country, to make sure he could not live there. ~H~
