Well informed sources told the Jordanian Daily Al Dotsour yesterday that an operation of collective assassination was made by American-British forces on the Iraqi leadership and was carried out, according to an intelligence plan in the Al Mansour suburb of Baghdad.

The sources said that two of the dissident Senior Iraqi Military Leaders coordinated with one of the Leaders of the Republican Guard in an operation to monitor the date and place of a meeting for the Iraqi leadership, noting that the Senior Member of the Republican Guard carried out this mission completely.

The paper explained that he was informed by the two opposition leaders that the Iraqi leadership will be meeting in an old house in the Al Mansour Quarters and following that the American planes bombarded the place.

The source added that the said plan also stated that the Senior Leader of the Republican Guard was due after the assassination of the Iraqi leadership to give his orders for the Republican Guards and the army to gather their arms in three positions in Baghdad and to return back to their houses until the forces were summoned again. And this is what happened.

The source stressed that all members of the Iraqi Leadership were assassinated except the Minister of Information Muhammaed Saeed Al-Sahaf and the Vice President Izzat Ibrahim.

Baghdad Bob is a Shi'ite nincompoop. An outcast in Saddams circle... Bob will now be enjoying life in the beautiful slums of Demascus. Better than dead I guess.

[Mister Magoo]

Sounds logical -- the source is a bit questionable, but it does explain why so few of the regime's leaders have been captured thus far. And the immediate disintegration of the regime seems to bear this article out.

Hell must have had a waiting line that day...

Bob will now be enjoying life in the beautiful slums of Damascus. Better than dead I guess.

Not sure. I'd have to think about that for awhile.

So was this article excerpted because it was feared Arabic news might sue FR if we cut and pasted the whole article?

I think the fact we bombed a leadership bunker before the war officially started, then bombed another leadership bunker in Al Monsuar(or whatever) is proof enough. Even if we didn't get them all, we sure took a couple of bites out of the leadership team and scared the hell out of the survivors.

Baghdad Bob was apparently not part of the inner circle. If he is ever found alive, that may be the one thing that saves his butt. Well, that and not getting invited to the meeting where the rest of them were planning their escape. Little did they know they would be leaving not just Baghdad, but Earth itself.

Has Baghdad Bob hosted SNL yet?

[Illbay]

The source stressed that all members of the Iraqi Leadership were assassinated...

"...so you can stop bothering us here in Syria! No one home but us chickens! Just nice Arabs over here, no bad guys! Okay?"

[dirtboy]

Has Baghdad Bob hosted SNL yet?

Nah, he's gonna sell cars with Joe Isuzu...

[arielb]

of course we didn't kill baghdad bob...he helped us by convincing the republican guard that they didn't need to defend baghdad. yeah his propaganda was very good but in the end the truth was undeniable and iraqi tv as well as al jazeera was completely discredited.

[joesnuffy]

Baghdad Bob & Friends...just hanging ...all the noose thats fit to print

[Terpfen]

I think CNN probably gave him refuge; after all, they have a public history of aiding and abetting the Saddam regime...

Hopefully, CNN will give this guy a show on the 5 PM time slot. I won't regret missing Gibson's show.

[beckett]

Is this suppoesed to mean that Tariq Aziz was hit too?

[Bon mots]

He can broadcast from Damascus for now. Then later, Teheran, then Pyongyang, then Havana, then Paris...

[Rik0Shay]

Baghdad Bob will make a good DNC president.
