Shahani, we were talking about this very issue, and you brought up (what I thought was ) a terrific idea: Which was...
Instead of deploying all these troops and ordinance and spending gazillions of dollars.... What say we just send in a crack group of Rangers or CIA or whatever...and just take Saddam out? HUH?
I mean, yes, I know, we have this Doctrine which prohibits the assassination of a (foreign) head of state...
But DANG, if our
whole problem is not with the Iraqi People, but simply with this one guy (Hussein), as GWB is suggesting, well, then, let's break the rule! I mean, it's OUR doctrine, right?
Once the job is finished (and all of the fake Saddams, and finally, the REAL one have been taken out,) we'll all sue ourselves for violation of
our own Doctrine....
Verdict will be
not guilty. Hey, it's our court. And we have
ludicrous attorneys!
