I too am hopeful about the progress of the war.- But I don’t know which network you are watching.- I am hearing reports of fierce fighting in the north as well as Basra in the south.- An Iraqi tug was stopped while attempting to mine a waterway.- And we are not yet confronting the forces around the capitol.- Yes it is going well.- So far so good.- That’s it.- If SH is dead, why aren’t Iraqi leaders running through the streets with white flags shouting don’t shoot?- Is someone suggesting that the Iraqi regime can continue operating with a SH look alike?- To what end?- I don’t think so.
All good points. But there’s also the possibility that some in the Saddam command structure are as in the dark as we are. The question we have yet to answer is: where did the tip of Saddam’s whereabouts come from? An inside job? Brilliant Special Forces work? Either option is highly encouraging. Again, I’m waiting to see new footage of Saddam.
