We may not get a war after all..

[ambrose]

One senior official has said that some parts of the Iraqi military already may have agreed not to fight.

Perhaps the Iraqis are even closer to the French than previously imagined...

[ambrose]

Of course, these stories may also be for Saddam's benefit... let him read this, hear of the rumors, then he goes into a paranoid rage and has his generals shot... putting the military in disarray in advance of the war.

Your link is verrrrrrrry interesting!!! :-)

An Air France jet filled with French military and several thousand white flags took off this morning bound for Bagdad..

[Semper Paratus]

This proves the French have been advising Iraq's military.

[Salvation]

**that some parts of the Iraqi military already may have agreed not to fight.**

This will be interesting to follow.

They were supposed to be secret and CNN shouted it to the whole world? I wonder how long these military leaders have before Saddam starts sending his goons after them.

[hispanarepublicana]

I have long wondered (just in the back of my mind),if in fact, Pres. Bush was setting the left up so that he could later say, "They've surrendered. We've disarmed them and changed the regime without a drop of blood spilled. All it took was the U.S. standing firm in the face of U.N. pressure, the sheer POTENTIAL of war against the U.S. and the pressure of the U.S. military in their back yard. What the hell are you gonna complain about now?"

[geedee]

Tell me this wouldn't be justice . . . We walk into Baghdad unopposed to find Saddam and his henchmen hanging from that ugly-ass, crossing sword monument he built to himself. Then, we kick out all the Axis of Weasel companies, cancel all their contracts, and make all their citizens go live with Yasser Arafat.

Sweet. THAT would be sweet.

[Wphile]

Sheesh...why are they reporting this? I'm sure there is all sorts of psy-ops going on and having it broadcast on the news certainly doesn't help.

[mitchbert]

I wouldn't be surprised if among the first casualties of this war will be Saddam's political officers who are supposed to kill Iraqi soldiers who don't want to fight. If they're so emphatic that the Iraqi Army sacrifice for Saddam they may be given the opportunity to be first.

[The KG9 Kid]

"... We may not get a war after all.."

That wouldn't break my heart.

What we want is to waltz in there and have the Iraqis yell 'Yippee!'.

[AgentEcho]

We may not get a war after all..

So what... A victory by any means is still a victory.

[Cap Huff]

CNN is at it again with its awful headlines. At first glance it gives an impression like the U.S. is surrendering. I know it says then Iraq, but I wonder whether it is worded this way to grab attention.

[steveegg]

If we don't get a war in Iraq, then the Turkish refusal of a northern front and our response ought to be put to good use anyway. Let's REALLY secure the southern flank and have some vengeance for 9/11.

[Poohbah]

This may be the US using the Heydrich-Tukhachecvskiy play.

[Uncle Kermie]

Secret no more!

[Dirk McQuickly]

The way things are going, it may as well be our surrender.

[LaineyDee]

I would think there'd have to be special conditions for accepting surrenders in this war.... due to the fact that these people could infect themselves with a biological weapon, ie...ebola, smallpox, etc... before surrendering in the midst of our troops.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

PSYOPS, if effective, will be the biggest winner in this war.

I hope the psyops boys can convince to Iraqi military leaders to watch the war on the satellite dish and not get involved.
