Doubtful..

If true, this sounds more like a clean-up crew. The only way this ends is with Saddam and his goons heads on a spike.

on its way to Baghdad for negioations with the Iraq Government

We would be nuts to send US nationals into Baghdad, unless they were accompanied by 500 M1 Abrams.

If this is true we better not start this peace talks with a cease fire
It should be talk while the war still goes on

[KeyWest]

Agree that it is doubtful.

But, if Saddam is dead or near death, it explains a lot. All the orders to destroy oil wells and the terminals were either never issued or were not followed. If they were not followed, then it says that Saddam is no longer feared which means he is either dead or incapaciatated. If they were never issued, then he is dead or incapacitated.

There have been a lot of unused weapons, like antiship missiles from the USSR, never used and captured intact. That says command and control are non-existant. Any Iraqi military man will not operate independently without orders. Get killed that way. There are a lot of signd that Saddam is out of the picture.

Yep. Knowing Al Jazerra, it's the US who wants the ceasefire, not Saddam.

Where is the B. S. Meter when you need it.

Winners don't call time outs. Losers do.

We'll know they're serious if the Iraqi's bring 6 hat boxes with the heads of Saddam, his sons, and brothers.

Don't know why the Admin Mods locked the other thread...it had more info in the body of the post that is discredited on another FR thread...the original report states:

A diplomatic source told Alittihad that the US government delegation included four leading members of Congress as well as Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of the US Vice President Dick Cheney, representing the US Department of State, where she works as an Assistant to the Deputy of the Secretary of State for Middle Eastern Affairs.

That story is debunked on the following thread...

Vice President Richard B. Cheney's daughter is not going to be a human shield in Baghdad. "Neither daughter even has plans to travel to that region, let alone Iraq," a Cheney spokesman told United Press International.

Cheney's daughters not going to Baghdad

[Redcloak]

Why send a delegation when our terms are unconditional surrender?

[Ichneumon]

negioations with the Iraq Government about an immmediate ceasefire

"Ceasefire", my ass, nothing but "unconditional surrender" is acceptable.

[Let's Roll]

Great - now starts the 17 years of negotiations with the people who invented horse trading.

[Amerigomag]

Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of the US Vice President Dick Cheney

Oh you bet.

The Vice president of the US is going to serve his daughter up to Saddam.

Can it get much loonier. Come on Freepers, read these things before posting.
