Or maybe Saddam knows some ancient Middle-eastern art of saying a few words and causing instant death, that'd be cool.

errata: 'Our government CANNOT kill Saddam no matter how much they'd like to... It's against both world and American laws to assasinate another country's leader... and the culprit would be a bit too obvious in this one... '

hahahahaha 

Yeah, right...

'USA Today'

Spying on Americans, toppling adversary regimes, even eliminating certain foreign leaders — all actions long regarded as forbidden for the CIA and other agencies — are back as policy options in the wake of Sept. 11. The shift has taken place with little public debate or formal government action.

blah blah...

Some history for you...:

Assassinations

President Ford imposed a ban by executive order in 1976 following revelations by the Church Committee of CIA involvement in planned or actual assassinations of, among others, Cuban President Fidel Castro, Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, Chilean President Salvador Allende, Dominican President Rafael Trujillo, and Che Guevara. A policy of assassination poses a dangerous risk of backfiring - the United States as an open society is particularly vulnerable in this regard - and is obviously a blatant violation of the right to life.

This ban has basically been lifted since 9/11..

Well, when the SAS had Sadam in their sights they were told to back off. Killing him will only create a Marter anyway. It won't get rid of his threat at all.

As for the CIA, they have toppled countless regimes using information alone. They could do it again if they wished. But again, it is probably not in the 'best interests' of the US and the UK.

It was quite funny when Saddam challenged GWB to a fist fight. Can you imagine the ratings that would pull in?  

Regards.

Steve.

if they kill him then they cant spend billios of taxpayers money on replacement expended munitions and weapons orders (all nicely tendered thru Bush Snr's corporation who Colin Powell also works for and who Bin Ladens family owns about 30% of the stock) - lol!
