Where is Saddam?He seems to be alive, but wounded and lacking blood, maybe incapacitated, in spite of the recent "live" TV appearance. What Tommy Franks said at the press briefing last weekend is interesting, though. It suggests that even if Washington could prove Saddam's demise, they wouldn't necessarily tell us about it. Not just yet. They must know that Radio Free Mike, along with a thousand other blogs, would agitate to wrap up the war. Here's what Franks said, from a news conference transcript at Centcom:
I don't know if he's alive or not. But interestingly, the way we're undertaking this military operation, it would not be changed, irrespective of location or the life of this one man ... It is not about that one personality. In fact, it is about this regime. And so that's what we're going to focus on.
