we will know by tomorrow am... I give it at least a month or two. It's a big, old, complex city with lots of tunnels and a great deal more to hide. It wouldn't take much to dig out a vial of smallpox and infect a very few suicide carriers to create an enormous problem.
Personally, I think they should quarrantine the entire area now.

Again, don't OVER estimate people.
Again, don't UNDER estimate people.
a) There is no proof that Saddam is dead. Your statement is an opinion.
b) You are absolutely correct.
c) You are correct about them not getting out, if they already haven't. Your statement about them not being brave enough to nuke or chem themselves lacks historical basis to support your argument. Bravery isn't required to nuke or chem themselves. Stupidity is required, and they have proven in the past that they are stupid enough to do such acts.
d) If they do, why didn't we just bomb them there? Then we could just bring our soldiers in on commercial airliners into Saddam International airport and we could have sent the Boy Scouts in to stand on each street corner prior to bringing our tanks in.
Remember these are also the numnuts who we said had wired bridges and then when we got to the bridges we discovered they weren't wired.
Again, I pray you are correct, just don't UNDER estimate low down pieces of crap like these nuts. They have proven time and time again that they are stupid enough to do stupid things.

FNC reports elements of 4 regular Iraqi army divisions are engaged at Baghdad Intl Airport. Possible fight? Hmm ...
Maybe FNC should switch over to ABC and watch the live report from their reporter on on the tarmac at the Airport ....

A woman who escaped 20 years of house arrest in Iraq and had family murdered said her sister (in London ) had contact with "Auntie" in Baghdad. Auntie said, "Don't worry about me, Fedayeen are in all the houses in Baghdad protecting us." Well, when Democracy comes to Baghdad, the Iraqi DNC has just identified it's first Voter.

This is a great military victory, and should go down in the annals as such. If you make it sound as if it were easy and a foregone conclusion, you cheapen it.
And that is exactly what the doomsayers will now try to do.
To: Mean Maryjean
I think our military are very prepared for ambushes and bio/chem but I still have a nagging feeling that if it seems too good to be true then it usually isn't. Something just doesn't seem right. With the mass evacuations I wonder about nukes. Flame away guys. I will be very happy to be wrong. :')
To: Mean Maryjean
It is not too surprising after the experience we had in 1991.

Well, when Democracy comes to Baghdad, the Iraqi DNC has just identified it's first Voter. Yeah...the first dead voter (a DNC specialty). If Fedayeen are in her house, she's already dead. But if RATS get in there, they'll make sure she gets a voting registration anyway.

14 days!
The term Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war", was invented by the Nazis to describe their campaigns of 1940, which astonished the world by their swiftness. Yet it took the Germans twice as long to reach Paris (a much shorter distance) in May-June 1940 as it has for American forces to arrive outside Baghdad. And this blitzkrieg, unlike Hitler's, has taken great pains to spare civilians. Historical comparisons are always inexact and often misleading (the inequality of forces in this case is much greater), but the rout of Saddam Hussein's forces has been remarkable by any standards.

To: Im Your Huckleberry
Spidey-sense is tingling, here...some of this seems to be going too easy. I hope they're not readying some chemical or nuke attack once our guys are in range. It wouldn't surprise me if So-damn Insane actually had a nuke, and would set it off in Baghdad to go out in a blaze of glory - killing himself, his people, and as many of our guys as possible. Suppose the "mole" who gave us Saddam's coordinates on the first night had been compromised and now we've been duped into believing Saddam might be dead....all sorts of evidence there is no command and control.....feared Republican Guard seems to be unlucky conscripts in RG uniforms.....We're THERE, we're cocky, and kaboom.

Maybe he felt safe to talk. Perhaps his family is in an area dominated by the "Coalition of the Willing".
