I haven't heard any official military reports that Saddam has been dead since day one. I've heard media speculation that he may be dead or injured or even that he has fled the country through Syria but officially, his whereabouts and physical condidtion are unknown.
My opinion on the left-wing "we're losing" campaign is that Democrats are trying to win popularity for the upcoming presidential elections next year.
It is a valid argument when it comes to the possibility of increased terrorism in this and the other coalition countries as well as in regard to more goverment control over society, something some Americans can't understand as protection rather than the loss of certain freedoms.
The heightened threat of terrorism in this country has a number of people voicing (late) opinions that war was not the right thing to do and I would expect to see more governmental control implemented in this country, particularly in regard to readily available substances which are used to produce chemical weapons and bombs. It would be a smart move imo.
Although I am one of the last people who could be forced to cast a vote to keep GWB in office, I to give him and the coalition countries credit for stepping into Iraq and attempting to clean up the mess that they are responsible for to begin with...sad that it had to come to war, but Saddam gave no other option for his removal from power.
I also give a lot of credit to the U.S. military and coalition forces for the way they are handling the task...it could be a lot worse for both sides.
