A peacenik arguing with an Iraqi exile on a talk radio show. The chap is slightly insultive, but I can see why.

question, if the US could have sent in a lone gunman with a sniper rifle to pick off saddam and save us the trouble of a war would they have done so?

Doing a surgical removal of power like that would be a worse idea than any of the techniques and methods we used. It would have potentially set off a bloody power struggle in Iraq, probably culminating in civil war. The infrastructure would've been destroyed, many people would've died, and it'd be years, even decades, of chaos, atrocity, and bloodshed. In the geopolitical spectrum, it'd be worse for us (and our image isn't too pretty right now). It's one thing for a lone citizen (or even a private, conspirical group) to pull off an assassination of their own will and desire. It's quite another to have it blessed, endorsed, and especially ordered by a foreign government.

So I'd say it's pretty certain the US intelligence and military community had daydreams of that, but it would never be seriously considered or put into effect.

yeah, besides it would give other political powers that doing that would be OK for other countries. Like this one.
