They have brought it up twice, even mentioned the number of the divisions. Sorry for not catching the #'s

I'll keep posting if they bring it up a third time.

When they said they were born in Iraqi and they were going to die in Iraqi, they just didn't know how soon it was going to be.

If true, I hope the Iraqis will be quarantined, to ensure against smallpox carriers.

Otherwise, there's the potential for the Mother of All Trojan Horses.

Remember the spooky footage from the first gulf war of the cruise missiles literally filling the sky and heading north? Seeing that go by must be very scary.

I think Saddam's doubles will be quickly shaving their heads and mustaches, if not donning burkas to avoid looking like Saddam in any way. They may be dummies, but they are not stupid! :)

Oh please let it be true, that someone told us exactly where they were and made the job a cakewalk. Sounds too good to be true.

From Sky News

Two-thirds of Iraq's conscript army are ready to surrender without a fight, according to US military sources in Kuwait.

Two army divisions totalling 20,000 troops based in the south of Iraq are set to give themselves up to Allied forces in nearby Kuwait, the sources told Sky News reporter Colin Brazier.

The sources said Iraq's 11th infantry and 51st mechanised divisions were "ready to capitulate".

They said troops from the 6th armoured division were also believed to be considering giving themselves up.

Brazier, with US troops in Kuwait, said recent intelligence briefings had reported the troops were badly motivated.

Asked why the conscripts would surrender, Sky's Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said: "They are underfed, underpaid and extremely scared."

Sky correspondent David Chater, in Baghdad, said there had been a lot of campaigning by Allied forces to encourage conscripts to give themselves up.

US planes have been dropping leaflets in Iraq urging Iraqi troops to surrender.

Chater said the decision was "no real surprise" - but the crucial matter was whether Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guard would fight.
