The guy is not an idiot, and he has enough money to "sneak" anywhere he wanted to go. Just like Bin laden, we will probably never know if he is dead or alive. He is probably sitting on some thai island, sipping a mai-tai and laughing his a$$ off.....I dont know, but I find it hard to believe that he stayed anywhere in Iraq. Even with our technology, he could easily have gotten out....again, even with our technology, we can't find bin laden........Why would suddham stay in Iraq where he knows certain death awaits. He may be a lunatic, but he isnt stupid to sit and wait, knowing we are coming to kill him. And IF he should get killed, and we arent sure, the iraqies will never let us know. They will burn his body and bones to ashes, and claim he is still alive....bottom line, we may never know if Suddham is dead or alive, and In my opinion, I dont think he is anyplace near iraq at this time. Too smart, too much money. He's long gone by now, IMO. First aspect of this war should have been not to warn them we are coming and give them days/weeks to prepare and then come in on the ground, working towards Baghdad. Before we said anything, we should have sent in a special forces unit, by air, and landed them on suddhams doorstep, when we knew he was still there. Take him out, have the body to prove it, and then "officially" start the war publicly. A) we would have suddham dead by now, body to prove it . B) I think most of Iraqs army would have given up immediatley had they known suddham was killed. Big mistake giving suddham warning. We should have taken him out personally, when we had the chance, and there probably wouldnt be much war left to talk about. Now, we will spend forever in iraq liberating them, and wondering where suddham, bin laden and other lunatics are lurking.....
