#3 If the Iraqis don't even bother to put out the street lamps I guess night or day won't matter much, right?

#6 No, the invasion has started. The war started 12 years ago.

#9 Could be part of psyop. We say we got the bastard and he has to prove us wrong. Then we pretend it's one of his doubles posing on tv. Could be fun to watch the top heads spinning...
Can we send in Blixie to verify??

#10 Word is that the President's speech was a called audible on the line of scrimmage. It seems that a "target of opportunity" presented itself in an area of Baghdad. It was felt that the President should make a public statement. What do you want to bet that it was SF, SAS or Delta lasing the target of opportunity.

#12 At 1129PES ABC (US) radio reports that in AFGHANISTAN "about 1000 GIs have simultaneously launched a campaign looking for members of al Qada."

See, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

#14 It might not be a double, but it's definitely canned. Saddam may be enjoying Osama's raisins...
