"Hopefully (for them), the Iraqi military will grasp their impending fate in advance, and get rid of Saddam, somehow."

THAT is what I suspect could be the most desireable outcome... and not just in Iraq either.

IMHO, they are very close to a power change in Iran, and we are hopeing that a move in Iraq will come about soonest. I am sure that even Iraq knows, that even with the current structure in Iran, they will not go against the USA, in a Iraq attack. The 'enemy of my enemy...'etc.. So we just might get a two-fer-one deal if we play it right.

At least I hope thats what we're doing.

I have also read elsewhere that the military might place a multi-million dollar bounty on Saddam's head, and give complete amnesty to any one of his soldiers/staff who does the work to claim it (if they survive the assassination, that is, of course).
