Mystery over Saddam as battle rages

Buildings in the al-Mansour neighborhood of Baghdad lie in ruins Monday after the U.S. airstrike.

It's unclear whether Saddam Hussein was killed when an American bomber dropped four bombs on a site in Baghdad. NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski reports.

		NBC, MSNBC AND NEWS SERVICES
		April 8 —   As U.S. officials tried to determine whether Saddam Hussein survived a massive bombing in Baghdad, the battle for control of the Iraqi capital raged Tuesday with American forces blasting government targets and foiling an apparent Iraqi counterattack. A U.S. warplane dropped four bunker-buster bombs and blasted a smoking crater 60 feet deep at a building Monday in the capital where U.S. officials believed the Iraqi president was meeting with at least one of his sons and other members of his inner circle.

"Separately, NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reported that the investigation could be hampered because U.S. officials do not possess Saddam’s DNA."

Oh, I'm sure we can track down one of his mistresses who hung on to a stained blue burka. :-)

"Brett Bauer was reporting about the secret Jaguar phone that we used. I'm sure that if the Pentagon was leaking this kind of information, they are SURE they got him."

This may be part of the confirmation that we did indeed get Saddam. The time from the bombing to when the story broke was several hours. It is possible that after a period of time there was no activity on the Jaguar phone system from Saddam, which might have been a clue that he is not answering his phone for some reason.

Saddam's Inner Circle

Getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller . .

I found out what "Jaguar" means.

[Watch the Abu-Dhabi film of the target...there is a fat man who is running towards the scene crying and then hugs another man in obvious sadness. Now it could be his 16 yr old pregnant wife was in there but this fat man look astonishingly like the fat man in the Saddam Walk-about. If you see both videos, you will see what I mean.]

That was my first thought when saw that man last night sobbing. He looked quite familiar.

Last night when I heard them talking about the phones I thought it was stupid for us to be blabbing about this. Now, if he is alive, he won't be using those phones so that we can track him!

Any online video of this?

Sharp eyes......

These two guys were definitely in a dither. Strangely, the clip was omitted from the Fox loop after initial airing. I Wanted to look closely but it has been dropped.

Note Also the guy smoking a cigerette. He is very coldy assesing the situation.....I wonder whose side he's on?

[S.O.L.]

Saddam is a savvy survivor. The Iraqis are not that stupid. They know very well by now that we can find and target them very quickly.

While I really hope 60 of them were just sitting there dining out waiting to be bombed, I think there are other possiblities.

I have not seen this mentioned as a possibility , but what if that restaurant just had a concealed entrance to an underground tunnel complex leading to a distant bunker that has its own second exit?

Whatever leaders entered the restaurant would just be laughing their asses off.
