Did Sadaam Survive?
U.S. and British intelligence sources were both reporting late last night that Hussein survived the latest attack on a building in Baghdad.
MI6, the British spy agency, told the CIA it believes Hussein left the building just before the bombs hit. The CIA was still reportedly clinging to hope that Hussein was killed. Hussein escaped a similar bomb attack on the opening night of the war March 19.
I'm doubtful this is true, especially since the statements aren't really sourced. But if it IS true (big IS) then somebody high up better be considering the following: There were just 12 minutes between the order and when the bombs were dropped. Sadaam might have gotten lucky the first time. But twice would indicate he had intel. Sadaam with intel of the quality that travels from CENTCOM to Sadaam in less than 12 minutes?? Now THAT is frightening INDEED!
