Even if Saddam survived this, he has to wonder who the traitor is that sold him out. (Pardon my tinfoil hat moment, but maybe the Aziz appearance today included a hint)? It could be a very ugly scene in his rapidly shrinking inner circle. I'm reminded of the Hitler bunker stories.
My wife thinks that CIA will have been hard at work trying to plant a tracking device on His Vileness. That's certainly what *I'd* do, and we've had plenty of time to plant plenty of them, since Bush decided to whack him over a year ago.
Apparently somebody - and believe it or not, French Intelligence (now, *there's an oxymoron) is suspected - managed to get a homing device into the storage areas for the Osirak reactor, prior to the Israeli attack - and we've got a lot better technology (and Saddam has a lot more enemies) than was the case back then...
