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

This suggests that Aziz is also dead. That would sadden me greatly as Aziz was one of the very few people alive who comes close to Clinton's ability to lie, falsify, and fabricate with a straight face. I saw a future for Aziz in Amercian politics, perhaps replacing Dashole as the leader of the Saddemocrats in the senate. But that all appears now to be nothing but a dream.

Aziz to Baath Party: "Can you hear me now?.....Ohhhhh S***!!!!! If this story is true, there will soon be a new Arab word for imbecile: Aziz.
Future conversation overheard somewhere in Saudi Arabia: "Sign this contract? What kind of Aziz do you take me for?"
To: RobFromGa
The reporter said we had over 280 CIA operatives in Baghdad! (the human shields must have been a great decoy)
We must be getting better intel than the Defence Minister right now..

I'm also inclined to think that the execution of POW's is an indication they're leaderless.Yes, that decision would have been kicked upstairs for sure. Didn't happen in '91.
To: ewing
I hope this is true. I had a gut feeling this might be the case as he's the only one that's been on TV. Now we need to take HIM out.
To: ewing
Stealth bombers dropped two 2,000 lb. bombs on the bunker chimney ........ 30 Tomahawk missiles on the complex. Wanna bet the Democrats will use this fact to complain about "the cost of the war"?

There is hope here since this same general did surrender to Schwartzkopf in 1991.
But will the army follow his lead as Defence Minister?

That was brilliant, wasn't it?
It's the new yardstick for brilliant.
It appears that these divisions and units are on their own, so naturally they'd resort to brutality; that's the way they treat their own people. This makes me more fearful that some renegade commander will unleash chemical weapons. Nobody's coordinating anything in Iraq.
Well, I thought it was an absolute certainty that Hussein would launch WMDs against our troops and Israel. Since he's dead, I'm cautiously less fearful.

The Defense Minister you're talking about was on very early this morning (3 am my time) and gave a long winded hate filled propaganda speech in which he mocked the term "Shock and Awe".
He's the only Iraqi that's been on TV for days and evidently the only one left. He said he'd be giving regular "briefings" (propaganda) from now on.
To: valleygal
I wouldn't doubt it since he's the only one left in Dodge!

What kind of Aziz do you take me for?"Maybe a CIA optometrist had a homing device put in his glasses.
To: ewing
He won't surrender. I'm sure it was his idea to murder our POW's and show them and the captured POW's. It's almost as if they killed one POW for each of the leadership killed.
After listening to his hate speech this morning, I'm convinced of it.
To: Sabertooth
Is the legend on the Stalin poster in Ukrainian or in Byelorussian? It isn't in Russian (which lacks the letter which looks like our letter I).
To: sinkspur
Excellent points.

his sons and most of the Military inner circle was there. What was they doin', taking a smoke break? They would have had better luck with video conferencing.
