Do you really think Saddam would furnish guns WITH ammo to the very people who he's viciously oppressed for so long. In essence giving them the "chance", however remotely, to overthrow, or kill him?

Good question! Saddam's "arming" of the population seems like a PR ploy, to scare us from fighting a war in the city from street to street.

I'm still waiting for Brokaw, Rather or Jennings to answer it, too.
