WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. officials told CNN Wednesday that "secret surrender" negotiations have begun with key Iraqi military officials in hopes some military units will not fight U.S. and coalition forces should there be a war.

Communications with these Iraqi military officials are not being handled by the Pentagon, but instead by other "elements" of the U.S. government, the officials said.

I've been checking in here for my daily news for years. I basically would print every thread that looked interesting in the morning and that would be my "news" for the day. I've got to say, the unbelievable efforts of those here to scour the worlds press agencies for news got me hooked, but the thoughtfull posts and insights got me addicted.

From time to time I've followed things more closely. I couldn't get off FR during the impeachment, the election, etc. And with the recent developments I'm on here all the time.

Rommel did not shoot himself, he took cyanide.
