This doesn't pass the smell test.

I am shocked that he would do this when he was trying to gain suppport by saying he wouldn't. It tells me the jig is up. Something has happened that we don't know about yet.
To: Indy Pendance
And with the President not having his press conferences he was going to give? Believe you are right.
To: Heartlander2
This needs confirmation.

Fascinating, if true. Hard to imagine Sodumb Insane doing thsi unless war had started.
Can you imagine the U.S. not going to war after Sodumb blew up his own oil fields? That would be hilarious!

Islamic Republic News Agency, via Novosti. That's only slightly less reliable than
Weekly World News.

But Saddam told Dan Rather he'd never do that.
Does this mean Saddam lied?

Perhaps "bombed" means they were rigged with explosives.

Can anyone confirm?!

Besides making no sense from Iraq's perspective, this makes no sense from ours.
Bombs dropped on what? whom? why?
You're right......nonsense that doesn't pass the smell test.

Iraq has dropped bombs hitting 2,500 oil fields that cover a vast area. Iraq has dropped bombs?
In an area where we have denied them flight privileges?
Surely they would get themslves shot down for their trouble...
