WI Saddam Iraq

Caught how? Executed by whom?

If he finds himself near the front and gets picked up by Coalition forces, he'd be imprisoned, not executed. Unless the Kuwaitis get him. Plus, it would mean someone in Baghdad (probably his sons) wanted him gone. It's not the kind of mistake a paranoid killer makes. So the government in Baghdad is in the hands of Uday, Qusay and their Merry Friends and Iraq stays as little fun as ever.

Or do you envision the US to actually make the effort to abduct and exfiltrate Saddam Hussein? It would make one helluva movie down the road, but - Why?

Thinking about it I think it would butterfly away 9/11.
It might, but not for the reasons you seem to think. You're implying that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11, which even the White House has acknowledged wasn't the case--that anyone could have been gullible enough to swallow that lie is testament to how efficient the neocon propaganda machine once was, and thankfully no longer is.
 
Maybe more tension in the mideast prior to 9/11 would have the US more prepared for such a atttack.

It wasn't exactly peaceful following the 1993 bombing and they weren't prepared. The US was going to have a neo-Cold War with China, events from some has-been Mujahideen's cell didn't really register.
 
I think that desert storm was important in causing the September 11 atrocity because it resulted in there being US forces in Arab lands, including Saudi Arabia which offended a particular group of crazies.

If anyone thinks Saddam had any involvement in September 11th there is this lovely bridge I would like to offer them at a really good price.


Looking at this issue though I do not see Saddam deliberately putting himeself in harms way. The only way he gets captured is if somehow the war does not stop with the explulsion of occupiers of Kuwait.

that might depend on who captures him. US might turn him over to Kuwaitis, others to Iranians. Imagine Syrians capturing him and handing him over to Iran. Oh boy....
