Saddam Hit?
U.S.: Saddam Seen Leaving Baghdad Complex on a Gurney After Strike



March 21 — U.S. intelligence sources say Saddam Hussein was seen being wheeled out of a Baghdad residential complex on a stretcher Wednesday night after the complex was struck in "decapitation attacks" by the United States.

Point is, if Iraq was attacking mitary target in the US and ONE civilian was killed, there'd be fucking outrage.



as there is in Iraq AND the US about these civilian casualties...whats your point?
no one like to kill civilians (well almost no-one)
but idf we got them in the first hour then that should STOP ALOT of the potential losses.
remember SADDAM was the one who was gonna POST civilians by military targets!

Then again, the US isn't chickenshit enough to hide our military targets in civilian areas.



I wonder how many of the local liberal posters will give the Bush administration ANY credt for even TRYING to avoid lots of deaths (of all kinds) by employing the "decapitation" strategy.

Also note, that our original plans of "Shock and Awe" are on hold, pending the outcome of these findings about Saddam. If we did get him, then the military will most likely not carry out their plans for those drastic air strikes. That shows a great deal of character on the part of the US leaders. Willing to hold off, hoping that there won't be a need to continue. Thus saving many many Iraqi lives.

don't think anyone foresaw this strategy . . . .



They hadn't really planned for it, but the flag rank officers were told to take the chance if it appeared. It did, so they're waiting and watching. That shows a willingness to avoid deaths.

Shit happens....If Saddam wanted to, he could have left...AND NOT ONE PERSON WOULD HAVE DIED...

If he wanted to...he could have complied with the UN resolutions...AND NOT ONE PERSON WOULD HAVE DIED...

Civilians sometimes die in WAR.....But cry babies always wine about them....

Sometimes it happens....It's called WAR.

Or the US could have NOT gone in



That could have quite possibly resulted in the dissolution of the UN. Since the inactivity of the members of the UN were proving it to be a hollow shell. Since Iraq had disobeyed resolutions passed over 10 years ago and has resisted inforcement.

It like parents who only keep telling their children "no" instead of enforcing what they say with some sort of physical manifestation. Eventually the child and all around know that their authority is paper thin.

So why didn't Bush meet with Saddam then (like he agreed to)?



For one, Bush never agreed to talk. Secondly, if Saddam wouldn't follow the directives of the UN and the direct threat of war if he didn't comply, why would talks do any good? You can slap wrists for only so long.
