You raged in anger when Saddam was found hiding in a hole like a rat, and wept bitterly when he was executed by his own people.Why would it take a rebellion?
Oh, gee, I dunno...maybe because the guy had total personal control over his military, to include especially the elite Republican Guard?
Are you TRYING to be as stupid as possible?
It could also take one ambition general shooting him at dinner.
Or it could take exactly how the Berlin Wall fell. Not one shot fired, but no one was going to oppose people power.
The reality is, governments exist because their people support them. We spent all of World War II looking for the "Good Germans" and never found them. They fought for Hitler until the last man.
Again, best policy, don't go sticking your dick in a hornet's nest and then complain about getting stung.
Don't bother denying it.
Actually, at the time, I thought it was pretty cool when he got caught.
His execution- meh, letting Al-Sadr pop him off like a party favor really didn't make us look very competent.
Of course, 1 Trillion dollars spent and 5000 lives lost so that Iran can now run Iraq, I guess I just can't get out and waive the flag over that.
