[The Great Satan]

If Saddam has WMD, but the WMD threat can simply be neutralized by killing Saddam, how do those WMD increase his security or range of action? Saddam's a head of state, a public figure: there is a limit to how deep under cover he can go and still control his country. His deadly enemies include countries like the United States, Britain and Israel, countries which have plenty of technical means to project force on any desired scale anywhere into Iraq. So, what might you infer from that?

If he is alive, the will to use the WMD is present. If he is dead, more than likely less will exists to use the WMD.
