Bush Attempt to Kill Saddam & Sons: Pentagon Uncertain About Saddam's Whereabouts Hours after coalition forces struck a Baghdad building suspected to contain Iraqi leaders, U.S. President George W. Bush said Tuesday that he did not know whether Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was alive. "I don't know whether [Saddam] survived," Bush said at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. "The only thing I know is that he's losing power." U.S. officials said Tuesday the U.S. military dropped a "large amount of ordnance" on a building in a residential neighborhood of the Iraqi capital Monday based on "time-sensitive intelligence" that some senior Iraqi officials, possibly including Saddam and his two sons, were there...U.S. officials said they do not know who they might have killed in the attack, but they said they believed that the intelligence -- which U.S. officials received Monday -- was very good. Part of it came from informants.
