D'ya s'pose?
I wonder whether the cabal thinks it's inciting Saddam (and others?) by releasing the photos and videos of his son's bodies? Is it provocation? Is it reckless?

1. I heard that they are holding the bodies until a family member
comes to claim them. They must think Saddam will just walk right into their devious little "trap".

Morans.

2. Probably.
Still they wouldn't take into account that Saddam may be too prepared for that outcome.

3. I really think they believe their own bullshit.
Think about it, WMD, flowers at the soldiers, sucking up that oil. I think they made their PNAC plan and went with it regardless of warnings from sound minds in the CIA and others. I believe the same can be said for showing the dead brothers. They probably really believe they will get Iraqi compliance. As with everything they do it just might be delusional planning.

4. I wonder
if BushCo really wants Saddam dead. He's much more valuable alive. BushCo can balme Saddam for all the unrest. He can blame Saddam for the "Reconstruction" not going well.

If Saddam were dead, he would have no one to blame.

5. These people have never let even death
stop them from blaming someone. If they're 'good' at anything, it's in finding others to blame. Such is the 'skill' of autocrats. Baathists. Terrorists. Old Europe. Naysayers. Evil-doers. Libruls. You name it.
