Sabotage Averted
FoxNews | March 22, 2003 | Ray Heizer

Sabotage averted

(paraphrasing) The FoxNews crawler just had a message that many of the Iraqi facilities we have taken over have been found to be wired for destruction... the focus on the message had to do with oil wells I think. It said Saddam was prepared to 'blow up his entire economy.'

Analysis ...

If true, we (and the Iraqi people) were extremely fortunate Bush launched that strike against Saddam on Wednesday night, just after the 48 hour deadline had expired.

(BTW You just read this analysis here, but I doubt that you will read it in the main stream media ... ;-) ...)

It's noted in this AP article:

Getting Iraqi oil back on market a matter of months, years

Adm. Michael Boyce, chief of the British defense staff, said "practically all" Iraqi oil and gas installations had been mined or booby-trapped, indicating Saddam was "prepared to blow up his entire economy." U.S. Brig. Gen. Vince Brooks said Saturday that only nine of Iraq's 500-plus oil fields had been sabotaged.
