"There are only two people willing to perpetrate the hoax that Saddam is still alive if he were dead - his two sons."

On the contrary, there are many in the regime who would be imprisoned or shot when the regime falls besides those three and it would be in their interests to perpetutate the myth he might be alive to save their own skins.

I don't by it. I think only Saddam and his boys actually believe they have a chance of escaping. They rest of them know they'll inevitably be imprisoned - likely shot if they perpetuate the war.

We'll see.
