I wonder why they're not saying anything about Saddam and his sons.

I have this from another thread that was pulled for security reasons: "99% certainty that Saddam is dead. Both his sons confirmed dead. All killed as result of raid on March 20. Iraq's top general offers surrender to US."

This supposedly came from a Freeper's son who was in the briefing with a 2 star General. Keep your ears open. It appears to be over.

I don't believe it for a second. Sounds like a story that's been enlarged in the re-telling.

Beyond that, if it were the case, then Rumsfeld would have reported something. He denies having enough information to reach any conclusion.

It's very unlikely that any one particular Iraqi general has enough command and control remaining to actually speak for the entire army.
