Wonder what their first clue was?

[Pharmboy]

The first hint was that they could hear disco music in the background...

[Pharmboy]

Now wait just a minute...I thought that Saddam was hosting Saturday Night Live this week...

No accounting for taste, I guess.

When donkeys fly.

Here's a photo of the new Flying Donkey - unfortunately the load was a bit heavier than the donkey could airlift. But, they're here!

From the nooks and crannies of my mind comes this idea:

/1/We killed Saddam on the first night, along with his sons.

/2/ We hijacked his remaining military C&C system, having broken the codes long before.

/3/ We have been sending orders to the Republican Guard sending them to their destruction. Instead of laagering up in Bagdad, we have been sending them south to be destroyed in detail.

Just a thought.

Wow! CNN - they must me reeeeeeeeeeaaal smart to come to that conclusion! How can they be so intelligent there? (closing eyes and promising) I will never watch any other media outlet..I will never watch any other media outlet..I will...

I'm not laughing at you Patent but the title and the link are a scream ! I remember when Time had a cover that stated men & women were different . Just a passing thought before I read the thread ..

SWAG's do come true sometimes.....I'd not be suprised at all. Then again I have to think that Old Sad Ass studied the Noreiga and Osama Hunts and might just be sitting in Syria watching all this on TV right now knowing full and well his paper tigers couldn't /would'nt stand a chance against Uncle Sugars troops.

While we were making SWAG's that's mine .....:o).....Stay Safe !

[Travis McGee]

SWAGs? Here's mine. If he ain't dead, he's buried alive. We are using geologists to map the underground terrain, each bomb hit is like an MRI to those guys with their sensors and computers. So we are getting a better and better picture of exactly where all the command bunkers are.

Then we are punching them with that "Satan's Needle" you spoke of, laying one penetrating bunker buster after another down the same holes. That's why we keep rehitting the same destroyed palaces etc.

[Ben Bolt]

I'd buy #1 or something close to it .

[Squantos]

Agree 100% as to what we're capable of and are doing to those high tech gopher holes he had built............if he was home I agree he's greasy grimy gopher guts fer sure.

Stay Safe !

"Burn, baby, burn!"

[Travis McGee]

Frankly I like the idea of both Saddam and OBL dying of starvarion in the pitch dark deep underground, licking moisture off the walls after eating all the dead bodies.

In this daydream, they take years to die, alone and in pain, seeing nothing in the blackness except satan's face mocking and taunting them.

[Longlines]

I used to say, "I like my CNN." Now it is "I LOVE my Fox News! Really hate CNN." Okay, I give up. Where is the live Fox News feed?

Email me?

[wardaddy]

Possible. I agree Saddam is dead or incapacitated.

The vaunted Pubbie Guards (special) or otherwise seem to be crumbling like a sandcastle at hight tide.

These Fedayeen paras although less highly trained seem much more motivated.

Some ruthless and crazy domestics can cause trouble for government forces anywhere...nothing new there is it...except perhaps their level of depravity.

[Squantos]

Kewl....now write faster yer almost done dude !

:o).......Stay Safe !!

[Amore]

Are you talking about a live satellite feed or a live online feed? Because I don't believe the latter exists. If it does, I sure wish someone would point me to it. Having to tune into PMSNBC's computer feeds all the time is really irritating.

[Erasmus]

Okay, all you techies out there, how do you think they determined this from viewing the tapes?

Ummm, they read the SMPTE time code out of the vertical interval.
