February 24, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Special "hunter-killer teams and aircraft would target Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein - and his two evil sons - within 48 hours of the launch of any military campaign, The Post has learned.

The moves would include a series of massive, surgical airstrikes and commando raids in the opening hours of the action. Specially trained operatives would target Saddam, sons Uday and Qusay and other key aides.

git em!

[Paleo Conservative]

And grandsons?

[ultima ratio]

Why is the Post revealing this? Better yet, why would this be leaked in the first place?

[Mo1]

To give Saddam and his sons something to think about? ..

tic tic tic

Qusay, who heads Saddam's personal Republican Guard unit, has orders to unleash weapons of mass destruction should something happen to his father, according to British intelligence.

I didn't know champagne was a WMD. I think a better analogy would be like the Wicked Witch melting, and the flying monkeys flapping their wings with joy.

[Tree of Liberty]

Didn't Saddam put out a hit on Qusay a few years ago, leaving him partially paralyzed?

Does anyone know why he still has allegiance to his father?

We're certainly grateful to the Post for laying out these warplans for us. I'm sure every commanding officer is quite eager to relay these plans to Saddam.

More likely, I'd advise Saddam not to peek out his shutters lest he look down the scope of a sniper.

my thoughts exactly. especially the plans for the oil wells. They are wired,if they blow were looking at oil at $45-50/barrel. Disaster for the economy.

I have yet to see any of these type articles where secret or not so secret plans are supposedly revealed as being any great revelation to Saddam.

My favorite so far was early on in the war planning where secret plans were reported in the press and the crying and nashing of teeth started in earnest. The jist of these secret plans you ask?

We are going to use air, land and sea forces.

That is about as useful as saying our military plans involve the use of soldiers and...

guns.

We are toying with the evil ones. We are at war now. A different war to be sure.

Well, I'm sure our guys will be safer now that the NY Post has posted this article. We'll see, won't we?

The world would certainly be different, if Carter had sent six aircraft carriers to the Persian/Arab gulf and backed it up with a firm threat to attack Iran, if the hostages were not released.

But that task was left to Reagan.

Now Bush is faced with cleaning up messes left when Clinton backed down in 1998.

[ResistorSister]

Yeah, he has the gun...but like Barney Fife...it isn't loaded...it just looks good with the suit.

[Spandau]

Uday is gonna blow his nuts off carrying a pistol like that.

[The Raven]

Qusay...has orders to unleash weapons of mass destruction should something happen to his father,

The WMD they don't have? How are they going to do that?
