I doubt they have much command structure left in Baghdad now. I thought he had been killed earlier myself. Maybe they got another double.
I know it wasn't on purpose, but the timing, if it turns out, was divine providence.
Leadership out on strike No. 1.
Chemical Ali out on Sunday, the 6th.
Saddam and sons out on the 7th.
They lead the fight, their fighters die, then they do. Their subjects are free.

I really hope we don't have to pick up hair, teeth and eyeballs out of "the big hole" to identify SH. I want to parade his head around Baghdad.

Hope it wasn't another double.
IIRC - a lot of people read into what the administration was saying about that first strike on the 19th. I only recall them saying it was a leadership target. Although they did say that Saddam was thought to be there they were very cautious about what they said. Possibly hurt..no way of knowing if dead...people digging out rubbble, etc etc.
Over the past 2 weeks, many of us have convinced ourselves that Saddam must have been killed that night because of the ridiculous videos and others supposedly reading what his orders are.
NOW - tonight senior administration officials are telling all news outlets that they believe they got him today. That is a far cry from what they were saying after that first attempt 2 weeks ago

Good one. But where's the "kaboom"? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering "kaboom!".

Oh and I meant if we'd had any confirmation of the sources? Instead of these no names.

To: Green
All I'll say to that is; then why hasn't Saddam bothered to release just one video holding up a current newspaper rather than those edited and old clips?
That really puzzles me.
