There is nothing wrong with posting your opinions or discussing the subject, I'm just asking for them to be redirected to the thread called Letter To Bush From Michael Moore posted by blue.

It will be a little more organized and then anyone who wants to debate the subject can automatically go there. And those who do not want to read the debate, do not have to read it.

Again, I'm hoping to keep this thread on the actual war efforts and updates.

Thanks

I am truly sorry if my post upset you. (I really mean that
)
Kim...my apologies..........I am perhaps jumping the gun here. Guess the other thread carried over with me and I am worried that everything will start again here.....

Bendy....likewise

I just felt that it would get out of control again......in a matter of posts.

Sorry....


(I know I said I wasn't coming back but....an apology was necessary from me)

Sorry Kim I didn't check that out. My apologies for the redirection. I just don't want this thread to turn into the same and therefore get locked out as well.

The news conferance has stated that in the next 12 hours the US will use full military action to oust Saddam. The description stated that there will be 'shock and awe' during this time.

I'm watching Donald Rumsfeld's press conference and it seems that our military is taking great care to target only militry and command sites.

To get a perspective, I've been surfing MSNBC's Web site. They have some excellent aerial surveillance maps of Baghdad, highlighting communications facilites, nuclear and chem/bio weapons manufactories.

So far, no casualties, on our side. One Pavelow helicopter went down but, the entire crew was rescued, without incident. The Al-Samoud missiles, launched at Kuwait, have either been intercepted or overshot and landed in Kuwait Bay.

This time, its the military commanders calling the shots, in the field, as opposed to politicians. This is a case where we really need professionals, in charge.

I heard that too....In addition to that info...they where saying that could be one of his 13 body doubles....It was interesting to hear that we have equipment that can detect his voice should he try to communicate, too.

The Iraqis CLAIM that a civilian was killed. Since when does Saddam care about civilians being killed, anyway?

Before the war started, a Canadian and an American civilian were killed (I think in Yemen). I don't have details, but it was mentioned on the news.

I heard that he had 13 body doubles on a documentary called:
"Why can't we Kill Saddam"—I thought it was a pretty smart move on his part, thought he still makes me ill....

They said that He made his body double have plastic surgery and they had to go to "Saddam School" to learn his mannerisms.....Pretty sneaky - seems like trying to find him will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.


**Peace**

Kass, that was a gunman at a Yemen oil field. 3 people were killed including the lone gunman.

Kim I have to admit, Saddam is a very smart man. He is crazy, horrible all that, but he is very smart about keeping himself in power. With all those doubles it will be very difficult to determine if he has been killed or gone into hiding.

They just said two army transports came across the border into Kuwait. They took them out- didn't know if they were defecting or not, but said they couldn't take the chance if they weren't. There was no reported white flag on either vehicle.
