I just saw on Fox people speculating on why the power is out in Baghdad, given that CentCom says we didn't do it. The speculation was that maybe it's for cover so Saddam's men can massacre the Shiites in East Baghdad, and blame the U.S.
Perhaps. But it's at least as likely-seeming to me that it's merely so the population of Baghdad won't see or hear on the radio that the city is closely surrounded, something that their Information Minister scumbag was denying just this morning. Once the people see it's all over, they're more likely to start killing the Fedayeen themselves.
Any other ideas?
yeah, but none of them are good ones. I'm praying it's not WMD he's been waiting to use...even if he takes himself and everybody out with it. I became weary when they kicked out Al-Jazeera...like they wanted no witnesses.
