Sounds like a good targeting option; hit the rear first.
Hah! Fooled by a rug merchant! Christiane was born in London of an English mother and an Iranian father. Roomed with one of the Kennedys at the University of Rhode Island. First media job was at WJAR, Providence.
So SpecOps will go behind the enemy line to rub off these execution squads, or at least get them busy. Then ordinary troops won't fight hard. They would rather watch these execution squads killed by Americans than die for Saddam.
I think that Saddam could try to infect citizens of Baghdad first. Send bunch of refugees from Baghdad to advancing American military, swamping them a la Milosevic. After the initial chaos dies down, the real headache could start. Refugees developing small pox. American soldiers could get infected. There won't be enough to treat both civilians and soldiers. The picture of dying civilians will be beamed all over the world, which will be somehow blamed on America. I think that is one of the things Saddam wants to see happening.
About face!...
Fire!!
You retreat you die, but if you surrender you go forward away from the execution squads. Of course you have to hope your white flag helps you not get shot in the first few seconds.
Gee, talk about being trapped between Iraq and a hard place...
