Saddam is known to have several doubles:

Also I would expect that meetings etc. have been taped well in advance - just like the Bin Laden tapes, so if there should happen anything, then people will not get stress, because they do not get their daily dose of Saddam on their TVs (in most Iraq TV they show video or pictures of Saddam, with some music in the backgroud - never hearing what he and his generals are talking about - just some calm pleasent music... so they could run Saddam on the TV for months before people will suspect that they are watching reruns... radio is forbidden in Iraq).
In the last gulf war he was hiding in his underground bunker, and he is probably going to sit there again, when/if the bombs start hitting Iraq. And bombing that underground bunker will not be possible - it was build by the best military standards from the US and Europe, when Iraq was in war with Iran. Only ways to get him:
- Have his own army take him out
- Send US ground trops in
- Bury him alive
Also not good idéa to kill every high ranking officer in Iraq - someone needs to be there and control the masses after Saddam is gone.
