#1 The war will start when an Iraqi general calls in Saddams position and we take him out. One phone call, one cruise missle, one get out of jail free card for the General who is taking minimal risks since he doesn't have to get near Saddam with a weapon.

#2 Saddam will probably be the very last one to die. Plus the fixation on Saddam is foolish. What good does it do for us to get rid of him or his sons if we just replace him with an equally thuggish Baathist leader?

Victory will be marked by crushing the Iraqi army, occupying the country and destroying all of their toys that shouldn't be in the hands of children or homicidal maniacs.

#3 It better not come down to us sitting there playing Metallica at full blast to roust him out of the Vatican embassy.

#4 If command and control can be taken out it should be. In a dictatorship the dictator is the top of the command and control.
