On June 11, Saddam Hussein signed Military Directive 531 odering commando units from the Republican guards and special military intelligence combat units to head into northern Iraq.
He had just recieved intelligence reports that the US special forces and CIA personnel he knew to have landed in the northern region of Iraq were making impressive strides in recruiting and training Kurdish fighters for their anti-Saddam combat units.
According to DEBKA Net Weekly military sources the presidential decree directed the commandos 'to wage a secret, tenacious and sustained war to destroy enemy forces that have invaded the Iraqi motherland' employing the following tatics:
1.Ambushes and night raids to attack and destroy Kurdish and US camps, communications bases, arms depots, and inflict heavy enemy casulties.
2.Seek the element of surprise
3.Each unit was on it sown in the field and must fight as though no outside help was available.

The highly imaginative DEBKA scoops Weekly World News once more.

Saddam wouldn't send his elites from the Palace to do this dirty work, I expect this to be a massacre of these Iraqi 'commandos.'

Darnit, it's from Debka, I was hoping it was real. A declaration of war by the Iraqis qould make life easier.

The highly imaginative DEBKA scoops Weekly World News once more. Then again, didn't Debka talk about Al Qaueda in Lebanon months before the mainstream media?
To: orrick
Well at least he has the guts to sign something before he starts a war. That's more than I can often say for Congress or Bubba.

They took the story from a week ago about American operatives being inside Iraq and made up a continuation story about it.

It is better to let others assume you an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Don't tease me about Iraq. The Florida National Guard could take Iraq on a weekend and have Sunday left over. It will be nice to occupy the country, pay our entire defense budget out of the Oil CASH FLOW (lower our gas at the pumps to .25) and still make the lives of individual Iraqi 10 times better than it is now.

(lower our gas at the pumps to .25)Dream on, even if the front end worked and we took control of of the fields, between the federal and state governments they would tax the living s**t out of it and the price might go down 25 cents. Remember, there are deficits everywhere and spending only goes up.
To: orrick
Duh duh duh duh Debka!
I'm still waiting for all those Chinese troops.
