Posted on 04/04/2003 1:28:13 PM PST by ewing

Mercedes speeding towards a United States Checkpoint refused to stop, and forces opened fire upon the car with .50 caliber machine guns.

Killed the Commanding General of the Nida Division of the Republican Guard.

Found in the car-personal papers, orders, a phone book listing many important numbers including Baath Party Officials, Iraqi Defence, Saddam's Palaces, and a supposed private number for Saddam Hussein.

Intelligence now has the documents.

Maybe Danny Glover can call Saddam personally for the MCI one rate plan.

Do you think they might have tried the number before publicizing?

So, was this a set-up, or a "glorious suicide by M16", or is the guy carrying anthrax spores, or what? Something does not sound quite right.

I'm sure Danny Glover has already spoke with Saddam. Cause Saddams not a "racist" like Bush.

When 'Elite' Generals have run checkpoints, it's pretty safe to assume that they're not faring very well!

The one rate is good, because he's a getting a bit shy on numbers for the "friends and family" plan, nor does he have a need for many free minutes.
