I'm with Troll. If we had finished the job 10 years ago we wouldn't be having this conversation. BUT we're not supposed to "assassinate" anyone. So whaddya do? It always confounded me that no one could ever pin down Saddam's whereabouts, but that there were film clips of him, photos, etc. Obviously the photographers knew where he was...

It's sort of like a small child who won't behave. We say, hey now, you stop that, or you'll get a whuppin. Child perpetuates hijinks. Again we say, hey now, you Stop That, or you'll get a Whuppin. Child continues to perpetuate hijinks, this time a little louder. And we say, I SAID, STOP THAT, or you'll get a WHUPPIN. Child keeps it up, finally gets a whuppin. Then the child sits around and whines about it, even though he was fairly warned.

At this point I am relatively unconcerned about this action - this sort of thing has happened before and I think the news media doesn't have much to do right now, so they're making a big deal over this latest unzip-and-let's-measure measure.
