I think Saddam's either dead or badly injured, and his successors are now scrabbling to keep the myth of his good health alive while they grab the jewels and head for the hills.

Problem is they can't take Saddam's Billion Dollar Mosque (the one made to resemble his fingerprint) with them. I'm sure there are assets they can grab though (wasn't there a recent article about Saddam stockpiling diamonds).
