Special Force Operatives from CIA vidoetaped Saddam and his leaders entering the bunker.
Got positive ID from Langley that Saddam, his sons and most of the Military inner circle was there.
Stealth bombers dropped two 2,000 lb. bombs on the bunker chimney while special ops identified the target with lasers immediately to position 30 Tomahawk missiles on the complex.
No one could have survived the attack not even in a safe. Video was taken of Saddam with a gas mask over his face dug out of the complex. Everyone killed inside Saddams sons and all top generals.
Deputy Iraq Prime Minister Tarik Aziz holds emergency meeting the next day making frantic cell phone calls to remaining Saddam/Baath Party leaderhip officials. Minutes later they show up wanting to know what has happened.
Langley triangulates the desperate cell phone calls from Ambassador Aziz and sends 20 Cruise Missiles through the roof. Baath Party political Leadship terminated.
CIA is leaving electricity and telephone lines up for as long as there is surveillance advantage to be gained tapping their sources electronically.
Only two Iraqi top Military/Political officials known to have survived- Public Relations Spokesperson for the Defence Department and Minister of Defence Lt. General Sultan Hashem Ahmed.
The Iraqis have not dug out the rest of the bodies yet except for Saddams

The network does update the transripts daily, so it may not be on there anymore.

Spooky unless you've seen the stuff The Great Satan has up on his/her page at FR: I suggest all FRs should read this, it is excellent. Apparently Saddam made a mission of imitating Stalin. My thanks to TGS for the detailed info made available.

If he had a gas mask on his face, how was it determined that he was Saddam Hussein?

The snake is decapitated but the body continues to writhe and twist.

God I hope this is true. Good reasons to use the electricity on.
To: max_rpf
I agree. That would be very good to see.

There is some murkiness here.
Some say the mask was an oxygen mask. Some say there was a CIA operative somehow observing and transmitted photos to Langly where ear lobe identification confirmed Saddam and sons.
The common thread through it all is that some one was watching and reported and our guys acted.

All your base are belong to us. This is the new world order. No weapons of Mass Destruction. Mecca and Medina are next.
We have these weapons. You cannot stop us. Are you scared?

So, there is a secondary reason for leaving the cell towers up.Geez ... do you have any idea HOW MANY of these there are in an average city?
Take out THE SWITCHING CENTERS (including the MTSO's) and this renders the rest of the telecommunications infrastructure (telephones, cellphones, etc) WORTHLESS ...

CIA is leaving electricity and telephone lines up for as long as there is surveillance advantage to be gained tapping their sources electronically. Exactly. For those who are wondering why we're not taking out electricity and other comm systems. We own them. We monitor them.

CIA is leaving electricity and telephone lines The CIA is making this decision - I know, I know, that's not what's meant when that's 'said' ...

There's an advantage to letting Iraqi generals believe Saddam is alive. If they believe he is alive, they might not use chemical weapons without his order.

I think the Lt. General (the Herr Goebbels of the Iraqi war machine) can best be described as kind of an Aristotle Onassis look-alike. He's got the coke bottle glasses and the pop-eyes. Maybe that will ring a bell.
