I heard on MSNBC that the bastards that took the POW's are loyal to one of Hussein's sons. That scared the crap out of me, especially for the female POW. The Baathists are frightening beyond belief.

We're going to have to do some major work in Tikrit.

One of the sons tortures women by beating their bare feet. Wonder if this is why the woman POW had her shoes removed.

We're going to have to do some major work in Tikrit.

With all the cameras on Baghdad, we can be a little less accurate in other places, like Tikrit.

I want Tikrit bombed flat and left to the tender mercies of the Kurds.

The creeps in jeeps may not be getting orders from boy Hussein. I think the "Vice-President" is the one setting them loose.

The regime are run by second-tier Baathists who continue the fiction of a living Saddam to maintain control.

Which may explain a lot as to the truly bizarre military response.
