You are aware that, I presume, Saddam uses doubles, and those doubles supposedly do appear at his public events? Killing him isn't such a sure bet. Neither is it sure that after doing so, Iraqis would welcome us in without a fight. Also, 'dropping in' Marines relies on us having Marines available at the time, which may be trickier than you suggest.
I've heard lots of reasons (excuses) why the uprisings in Iraq have not been supported. The best ones have been that Islamic extremists or puppets of Iran were behind them. Sounds pretty lame, to me, though.
