Special Force Operatives from CIA vidoetaped Saddam and his leaders entering the bunker.

Got positive ID from Langley that Saddam, his sons and most of the Military inner circle was there.

Stealth bombers dropped two 2,000 lb. bombs on the bunker chimney while special ops identified the target with lasers immediately to position 30 Tomahawk missiles on the complex.

No one could have survived the attack not even in a safe. Video was taken of Saddam with a gas mask over his face dug out of the complex. Everyone killed inside Saddams sons and all top generals.

Deputy Iraq Prime Minister Tarik Aziz holds emergency meeting the next day making frantic cell phone calls to remaining Saddam/Baath Party leaderhip officials. Minutes later they show up wanting to know what has happened.

Langley triangulates the desperate cell phone calls from Ambassador Aziz and sends 20 Cruise Missiles through the roof. Baath Party political Leadship terminated.

CIA is leaving electricity and telephone lines up for as long as there is surveillance advantage to be gained tapping their sources electronically.

Only two Iraqi top Military/Political officials known to have survived- Public Relations Spokesperson for the Defence Department and Minister of Defence Lt. General Sultan Hashem Ahmed.

The Iraqis have not dug out the rest of the bodies yet except for Saddams

[Free ThinkerNY]

You are right. The resemblance of Sodead Insane to Stalin is more than just his physical appearance. In fact, his role model as a dictator was Stalin. He had pictures of Stalin on his walls. He copied Stalin's tactic of killing anyone in his regime who he even suspected of disloyalty. Death to all tyrants!

[ewing]

And that the Lt. General may be stockpiling the chemcial weapons for Baghdad? (nightmare scenario)

[SamAdams76]

Big downside. The U.S. military doesn't need riots in the streets of Baghdad to add to their headaches. I postulated a few days ago that the U.S. would wait to secure Baghdad before making the announcement. Those remaining in Iraq's command structure don't want to make the announcement for obvious reasons - once the people know that Saddam is dead, they will no longer have any power over them.

I'm not 100% convinced of the accuracy of this story. But I'm leaning that way. There is simply no indication whatsoever that Saddam is in any way still in command or even still alive. If we got him that first night, what a story to tell!

Spect the DNC is having "himrhoid" troubles bout now.

[chiller]

I'm more fearful of the use of WMD, if Saddam is toast, (or marmalade) but the leadership vacumm could explain:
1) our rush to Baghdad
2) executed POW's on TV, to the detriment of Iraqi world opinion.
3) Rummy's insistent reminder "do not use WMD." He said today, "it's not Saddam who will push the WMD button." He's talking directly to the underlings.

It really seems obvious now. We know he's dead, and fear the crazies running the show now. Get there ASAP.

[Blood of Tyrants]

So, there is a secondary reason for leaving the cell towers up.

[Sabertooth]

I'd never noticed the resemblance of Saddam and Stalin until now, but it is quite spooky.

It's deliberate. Hussein has been playing Stalin for 35 to 40 years, now. That photo op was staged to look like that poster of Stalin. Hussein loves to emulate tyrants and conquerors.

He's also fond of Saladin and Nebuchadnezzar....

Iraqi stamp issued on "Palestine Day," 1997 Saddam Hussein and Saladin, Islamic captor of Jerusalem Behind them, is the Dome of the Rock, al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem Born on April 28, 1937, in Tikrit, the seat of Saladdin Province.	Jerrold Post Author of Political Paranoia: the Psychopolitics of Hatred Statement of 12/1990, before the House Armed Services Committee Inspired by his uncle's tales of heroism in the service of the Arab nation, Saddam has been consumed by dreams of glory since his earliest days. He identifies himself with Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylonia who conquered Jerusalem (586 B.C.) and Saladin who regained Jerusalem in 1187 by defeating the Crusaders…. In pursuit of his messianic dreams, there is no evidence he is constrained by conscience; his only loyalty is to Saddam Hussein… LINK
	The Rise of Babylon, by Charles H. Dyer with Angela Elwell Hunt …Dyer points out Saddam Hussein's own plans to emulate King Nebuchadnezzar as evidenced in a commemorative medal he had cast with the ancient king's profile and his own side by side. In addition to the hanging gardens of Babylon and the unification of the surrounding nations, King Nebuchadnezzar is perhaps most noted for the sacking of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Jewish people. The author reveals how Hussein's followers already recognize him as today's equivalent of that ancient king: The tour guide at a reconstructed palace in Babylon described with enthusiasm the restored monument of the ancient city...she got to the throne room and pointed to the empty platform. "This is where the Saddam Hussein had his throne. This is where Saddam Hussein sat," she said, voice rising in pride. The short, stout woman looked around at the quizzical faces, then caught herself with a nervous laugh. "I mean Nebuchadnezzar... Nebuchadnezzar had his throne here." LINK

Occasionally, Saddam liked to dress up like Hitler, too.

[marajade]

I'm not so sure now... FNC just reported that Iraq just recently released some thousands of prisoner of war from Iran 12 years ago and they still have some Kuwaitis from 1991 in custody somewhere...

[Paul_B]

I see no mention of a transcipt at that link.

[oceanview]

B&A have been consistent on this, and the stories from other sources have been posted here. Its up to the reader to piece it together. You don't really think DoD is going to come out in the first hour of the war and say "we killed everybody" do you? We never would have been able to start the ground war. Check some of the other threads on this, the ABC report from the CIA source, General Paul Valalee's sources, etc. The story is out there, you just have to piece it together yourself.

[sinkspur]

Your just parroting what others have said.

What difference does it make, if I believe it? I'm not "parroting" anything.

Read up on Andersonville.Mankind is basically evil.

No thanks. I don't share your cynicism.

[Enterprise]

"?And the down side of this is?"

Maybe a strategy would be to wait until we got closer to Baghdad and then announce that Hussein is dead. The people might revolt and distract the Iraqi army from killing Americans. I can't see a downside in having all the members of the bloodbaath party killed though.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks for the post.

Parallels? Between Saddam, Hitler and Stalin?

Tyrant is too soft a word to describe the inhumanities and legacies these bastards inflicted on the world.

[nygoose]

This will work, but I have no idea how to make a "redirect" link.

LOL, you're good. Thanks for the post.

[Paul_B]

Perhaps you don't understand. You said there was the transcript you took your excerpt from at first, your provided link, then second, at the live streaming link in post #95. A page search reveals that it is at neither.

[Diddley]

Please let it be true.

[Republic]

Maybe he knows that he would be strung up if the Iraqi people get a hold of him.<p.Yep. And many in the republican guard would meet with the same fate.
