Looks like they went directly for Saddam personally. He may very well be dead right now.
I doubt it. I reckon he went into hiding in a bunker well before the deadline expired.
They are saying he was in a bunker having a strategic meeting, and we recived a call from one of his generals about his location. We had "Bunker busters" on the way to another target, and diverted them on the spot. Suposedly, his facillity was hit very rapidly. He may not have had enough time to get out.
It seems our miltary has been in contact with Saddam's higher level Generals by E-mail (Of all things) for months now.
I bet we got him already.
How will "we" know for certain?
"We" will never know for sure, I'm just reporting what the news here is saying. If he is dead, it will be un provable because the 2,000 pound Bunker busters will have vaporised any evidence he existed in the first place.
My point exactly.
Ah well, we'll see what happens as it unfolds I guess.
Honestly, I am suspicious of the "Tapes" of Bin Ladden too. I think we vaporised him right off, but then faked his contnued existence to keep support for the effort up.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Then again, I'm equally willing to believe that the US with all it's military might couldn't kill one dude in a cave.
LOL!!! Could be. I don't doubt our boy's ability to get the job done, I doubt their leaders ability to let them.
If they were in contact with his generals, couldn't they have just gotten one of them to kill Saddam? Much cheaper surely.
Yep.
well the fact that Osama is still on the run shows that the army are overfilled with "intelligence" ...
:mad:
I really don't think he's "On" the run. I think we got him the first day and just couldn't admit it was over that fast and still maintain public support to finish the job on the Talaban. We were mad, and wanted blood. Osama was not enough, we wanted to topple his whole organisation and the Talaban for helping him too. We just needed public support to do it. That meant keeping Bin Ladden alive, even if we had to fake it.
Reminds me of a snippet of a stand-up routine I heard relating to Afghanistan. The comedian said "You know, I think they captured Ossama 1 week into it, but then the generals realised that they wouldn't be able to blow shit up anymore. So they said, 'OK Ossama, you have 2 weeks. Now get out of here'." :DQuote:
