NYT and Reuters make for a suspect article. I would rather see the raw report first.

How does this skew with the thousands of hours of untranslated tapes that have been discovered? Does this refer to the fact that he shipped his WMD's out of Iraq? He had no WMD's because he had them removed. The MSM will go to the wall trying to ignore the elephant in the room and stick to the narrative "Iraq had NO WMD's, this war is illegitimate." Makes me sooooo angry!

(Reuters) - Saddam Hussein's fear of internal rebellion led him......

[happinesswithoutpeace]

There is some truth here. Saddam knew that his commanders were getting phone calls at 0300 telling them that we knew where they were hiding themselves and that they better think really fast about what could happen to them. He also knew where the calls were coming from. Nuff said.

There is also a lot of Bravo Sierra in the article as well.

Two weeks into the war, Saddam and a small circle of aides remained convinced that the main threat came from within, leading him to deny a commander's request to blow up the Euphrates river bridge to slow the U.S. advance, the report said

Doesn't make sense. - With the American armies sweeping to Bagdad, slowed only by a sandstorm, how could he think that not impeding our advance would make him more secure?

Something doesn't add up.

Notice that RUETERS conveniently leaves out that the WMD have BEEN REMOVED from the country months prior to the US led invasion!!!!

[LauraleeBraswell]

One thing that's very clear to me, is that if Saddam did not trust his own military commanders he would have could cause to mislead them about weapon stocks particularly WMDs.

[reagan_fanatic]

It said his military leaders were demoralized to learn there were no WMDs, as they were counting on stocks of poison gas or germ warfare for defense.

What the article should have said was that his military commanders were demoralized to learn that there were NO LONGER any WMD's in Iraq to defend Baghdad with.

Report: Saddam feared own army as US invaded.

Report: Poor, misunderstood Saddam feared own army as the Evil Bush and his occupiers took over.

Just fixing the title...
