Back to the questions I was askin' Teribus, et al, before the invasion. If Saddam was (or is) such a bad man, why not just assasinate him, rather tham drop over 30,000 bombs and fire millions and millions of artillery, tank and small arm rounds at Iraqi's that, ahhhh, weren't Saddam????

Why is this such a difficult qiestion to get a straght answer to???... (Bobert)

I have tried hard but without success, Bobert, to find you asking that question before the invasion.

The only remotely similar remark from you on that theme before the invasion I have found was this response to 'Casual Observer' when he was proposing assassination:

As for the last assasination by the US, if I am not mistaken, was President Diem of South Vietmen and well, history does not bode well that assasination changes the events that follow.
