As a guarantee (for Saddams senior Commanders not opposing American forces and laying down their weapons) the United States disclosed some of its agents whom it had planted among the 'human shields' who were guiding the American Military to positions that were being bombed and where President Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi Leadership could be found.
A brief meeting was held between one of the Central Intelligence Agents serving as a 'human shield' and some members of the Republican Guard during which the latter were handed official written documents addressed to the First Echelon of the Republican Guard.
The documents provisions were: After the occupation of Saddam International Airport, Republican Guards of the top Echelon should arrive at the airport so that they could be transported away.
If that proved impossible, a place should be agreed upon where an Apache helicopter could land somehwere near Baghdad to take them away.
Commanders of the Iraiq Second Echelon secured themselves within the Iraqi Republican Guard Palace adjacent to the airport. Amercian foces fired shells to announce that they had taken it, and then American forces transported them to the airport.

I'm shocked and stunned, the human shields were not really concerned with peace in the first place??!!

Is this Russian intel inventing reasons for there to be such a stunning victory again?

Got me, I suspected all along that 200 'human shield' folks were a bit too many (numerically wise) to lay down their lives for Saddam.
There are not that many crazy peaceniks out there..

Compare and contrast:
American war in Afghanistan vs. Russian war in Afghanistan.
American war in Iraq vs. Russian war in Chechnya.

There might have not been that many Second Echelon commanders left who mutinied against Saddam.

Yep, that Apache helicopter is going to be real crowded and overweight.

To: Restorer
Well, not sure we would have done better in their position. We just learned from their mistakes.
BUT, I would admit that the Russians are stuck on the heavy infantry model, which is kinda dated.
The Ruskies will continually loose if they adapt our method of warfare (which we adapted from elsewhere).

Apache helicopters carry a two man crew only. They aren't transport choppers Actually, with the right length of bungy cord you could attach each Iraqi leader to one of the missles on the Apache, climb to altitude, point in the direction the Iraqi's want to go and simply "dispatch" them ;>

Would you say that this just blew the credibility of the story right out the window?
The Arabs need to find some excuse, other than they lost, really really bad.

Errr, Apache helicopters carry a two man crew only. They aren't transport choppers. Arabs and Russians believe all sorts of urban legends.
The plain truth is too simple for them to grasp.

All I know is that the coalition laid an ass whoopin' on the 'elite' Iraqi military. If a couple of our spooks were embedded with the Human Shields I hope they were treated for lice.

Using the shields to imbed CIA seems brilliant. We might not have been so tough on the shields. I wonder if they'll try to sue the CIA?
