U.S. launches surgical strikes on Saddam's bunker

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COMThursday, March 20, 2003

The United States has launched what officials described as surgical strikes meant to kill Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his top aides.

U.S. bombers, fighter-jets and naval forces participated in what President George Bush called the opening stage of the war against Iraq.

Officials said 40 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired against two targets in southern Iraq and later on the outskirts of Baghdad.

One of the targets was said to have been the bunker where Saddam has taken refuge. In all, four waves of attacks were reported. Three of them were in southern Iraq and the fourth was on the outskirts of Baghdad.

"Coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war," Bush said in a televised address on late Wednesday. "These are the opening stages of what will be a broad and concerted campaign."

Saddam: "My Kingdom for a way to get the hell out of here!"

[Mr. Silverback]

Do we dare hope he's dead? The address to the Iraqi people was definitely taped.

Cut the head off the snake.

And squish the snake head violently with our boots not once, not twice, but MANY times until there is nothing left but a bloody pulp of matter under our feet.

It was definitely also not the same person who has been all over the TV as Saddam for the past several years.

This guy's shoulders were too narrow. His complexion was too light and pink (SH is jaundiced-looking. He wore reading glasses SH is too vain to use. His mustache was too gray, considering yesterday, Saddam's looked freshly dyed (or at least black).

yeah and don't forget that the 'sadam' was probably wearing a beret because he's probably bald and they didn't have enough time to find his wig.
