#1 He still has the loyalty of his inner circle, those whose very survival depends on his continuing in power: Fisk, Pilger, Arnett, Al Guardian, Al Mirror, and the San Francisco Carbuncle.

#3 Oh he's alive alright - and as soon as we move these last 400 tons of rubble off him, he'll be walkin' around too!

#4 I wonder who is in Saddam's "Fuhrer bunker" writing this crap? Same mentality - talking about troops he no longer has, and offensives that are no longer possible, etc.

FYI 15 miles is an important distance: at that point, field artillery can range over the entire city. Very accurate - much more than aircraft. And the explosive load can be adjusted to destroy only what we want to destroy. Plus it reacts a hell of a lot faster: look up "counter battery" artillery if you want to learn more - its something the US Army has been the best in the world at since WW2.

It bascially can rubble any building without endangering a pilot or tearing up anthing except what it is supposed to, with less chance of n error than an aircraft delivered munition.
