We are still 2 months away from being even close to launching any significant ground action. Air war this time won't get there. SoDumb's bunkers are even deeper and bigger than 12 years ago.

Do you suppose our intelligence knows where Saddam is at all times, down to the bunker? If not, is there a possibility that we could bomb the hell out of Iraq and STILL not get him? And if so, would that make the U.S. look worse in the end? After all, with bin Laden, the idea is that bin Laden is not the raison d'etre for the WOT, but with Saddam, Bush has made it plain that HE is the target. So if we fail to get Saddam, we fail, period, right?

Based on that, I would suspect that our tacticians are pretty confident they can take him out when the time comes. Does anybody have a different take on it?

Ready made tombs for the bunker busters.
