"The regime is the target, not one individual,"

But I'll be you a dollar to a doughnut that there's a 'bonus plan' in place!

[Dog]

Uh oh....W made another list!!!

[Samurai_Jack]

Uh oh....W made another list!!!

Yeah, Dubya looks bad whenever he makes these lists and then cant find them after he knocks over their house. Perhaps he shouldnt make these lists public until after he has possession of their scalps.

[Dog Gone]

I hope that insufferable Tarik Aziz is on the list.

[blake6900]

Administration officials said they were making the list public now partly out of frustration, but also as part of the continuing psychological campaign against the Iraqi elite.

I laugh when I see nonsense like this. Does the Times really think we would believe "administration officials" would say this? Doesn't it kinda let the cat outta the bag?

I don't mind the New York Times making things but couldn't they be a little less blatant about it?

Jeez...

In his radio address, Mr. Bush reminded his listeners that it was the 15th "bitter anniversary" of Mr. Hussein's chemical weapons attack on the Iraqi Kurdish village of Halabja.

But forgot to mention that it's the 12th bitter anniversary of U.N. resolutions also.

"In Iraq, in a development that could complicate American war plans, the Foreign Ministry said that a top aide to Mr. Hussein had invited the chief United Nations weapons inspectors, Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, to visit Baghdad "as quickly as possible" to discuss disarmament."

NYT, what can you expect? This is assinine. This will in no way complicate our plans. If Blix and Buddy are so foolish to go then they get what they deserve (I would like to have Blix and Buddy tried for crimes against humanity for covering for the BREW DALL dictator and his regine --- they know full well what they are doing). I hope they realize the stupidity of going, and stay home, but if they don't, then shucks, you pay your money, you take your chances.

War Crimes? Just crop a BLU82 on their compound.

Weather forecast for the 17th of March in Baghdad, and for the 18th of March. Rapid change warnings for the 18th!

No nukes just a lot of MOABs and other devices turning parts of Iraq into hell for the buddies of SoDamned on GW's special Iraq list!

>>Mr. Hussein had invited the chief United Nations weapons inspectors, Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, to visit Baghdad <<

Note to Hans Blix: I wouldn't go there if I were you.

THe administration has published a list of whom the generals should expeditie with extreme prejudice

[Cap Huff]

I wonder whether anyone has ever been awarded a posthumus Nobel Peace Prize?

[mhking]

That's assuming they survive...which is questionable at best...

Fox News ran a piece about the war crimes and atrocities committed by Iraq during their occupation of Kuwait. More than 700 Kuwaitis are thought to be still in detention in Iraq after being "transported". The Iraqis left behind 18 tons of incriminating documents in their haste to depart Kuwait city. A Kuwaiti lawyer has built a case against more than 200 members of the Baath party based on that evidence and the testimony of those who survived the Iraqi occupation.

[Steven W.]

it doesn't matter - what's important is that the people who've contacted us and agreed to join allied effort are now being assured they're not on the list! and for those who've we threatened that they will be to know that they are.

[Husker24]

18 tons? they were only there for about 9 months, working for the Iraqi government must be a beurocratic nightmare.
