| Saddam Hussein statues destroyed |
| 2003-03-10 |
| Three statues of Saddam Hussein have been destroyed in Kirkuk, the oil-rich city in the north of the country. The destruction of the statues is considered by local residents as the beginning of an internal uprising against Hussein. In 1991, a similar uprising was initiated in southern Iraq when statues of the Iraqi president, spread throughout the country, were secretly destroyed. |

| #3 The point is not who did it, the point is that it was done. And in a very interesting location. |

| #2 PSY-OP dammit, it's PSY-OP. and it's not the special forces that do it, there's a dedicated Psychological operations component to the army. The CIA also do psyop but I dunno enough about their actions. Now it might be some SF guys who decided to get a little squirrely but destroying or defacing landmarks and statues is usually NOT something that we do in psy-op. usually.

| #1 I take this with a grain of salt - it _could_ just as easily be US Special Forces doing PsyOps. |
