Quiz from Hell

a) Iraqi forces began putting up resistance to the US Marines 1st Expeditionary Force attacking the Diyala River bridges early Wednesday, April 9. Suddenly at around 11 am, the Iraqi fighters vanished as one man. Clearly, someone had ordered them to give way without blowing up the bridges, a repetition of what has happened more than once since the war began. The Marines were thus able to go forward unopposed until they reached Baghdad’s town center. Where'd they go?

b) The Diyala River defenders were not the only Iraqi fighters to become invisible. Where is the Iraqi army’s 25th Division? Where are all Saddam’s ministers, his generals? How come after 21 days of warfare, the coalition has not exhibited a single Iraqi army commander taken captive?


c) Why has not a single senior officer in charge of weapons of mass destruction been caught – or come over? Why has no large-scale frontal battle been fought?

d) Why did American forces fire on the Russian embassy convoy leaving Baghdad for Moscow by way of Damascus on Sunday, April 6? The convoy led by Ambassador Vladimir Titorenko was deliberately attacked. Yet Wednesday, April 9, the ambassador was back at his post in Baghdad, in time to witness the way Baghdad citizens welcomed US Marines. Suddenly the Kremlin’s evacuation order was rescinded. His rapid return could only have been accomplished by a special flight. The question is what – or who - was the Russian convoy conveying under diplomatic cover out of Baghdad that was important enough for an ambassadorial escort all the way to Moscow? As soon as the “package” was delivered, Titorenko turned round and returned.

e) Why did the regular Iraqi Army refuse to put up a fight?

f) Where is all the abandoned equipment to account for Saddam's key elite forces?

g) How could so many Iraqi men have simply vanished? News reports try to say that soldiers simply discarded uniforms to blend into the citizenry, and while some of this did occur, no one has reported picking up over 300,000 Iraqi uniforms.

h) Why did Saddam's forces not use some of the very potent conventional weapons the Russians and Chinese so amply provide?

i) Where were the thousands of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapons that were expected to challenge Coalition fighter-bombers and helicopters? President Reagan supplied the Afghan resistance fighters with our Stinger anti-aircraft shoulder-fired missiles; with this weapon, the Taliban took out so many Russian bombers and helicopters that the Russians never did establish overwhelming air superiority. Why did the Iraqi Army never utilize these weapons? They had them, but did not use them.

j) Where were the potent Russian-made anti-tank weapons? When they were used, as in Basra, they were effective, but they never were used in enough instances to make a battlefield difference.

k) Where were the many aircraft Saddam spent good money on, preparing them for a fight with the Americans? We noticed, early in the first week, that Saddam's airplanes were a "No Show". Since we issued that report, other news services have run similar stories. Even if they could not hope to sweep American fighters from the skies, they could have inflicted some damage in battle before being shot down.

l) Where were Saddam's several thousand attack HIND helicopters? I never saw a news report that indicated these attack choppers were ever used. Why not? Why spend good money on advanced weapons systems if you never intend to use them? HINT: Beneath the heavily exposed surface battles, a fierce secret war is raging in the subterranean tunnels linking Saddam's four of five command and control fortress-bunkers spread out under the Baghdad region. DEBKAfiles sources reveal that US Special forces are locked in hand to hand combat with Special Republican Guards and Saddams Fedayeen commanded by Uday Hussein. All that we know about the battle of the tunnels for the moment is that American forces uncovered two or three secret entrances to the underground labyrinth two of them at the international airport of Baghdad after its capture. At least one of those entrances led to a broad underground highway system with roads some 12 meters wide through which two armored personnel carriers can pass each other comfortably. Some of these passageways are designed as blind alleys to lead interlopers astray; the ones leading to the command and control bunker-fortresses are guarded by Iraqi commandos.

Iran Media Leaks Secret Deal Behind Demise Of Baghdad Apr 15, 2003 Source: Gulf News

An Iranian news agency close to top conservative military figures attributed the fall of Baghdad to a secret tripartite agreement between Saddam Hussain, Russia and the US.

According to the Baztab agency, 13 days after the start of the war, Saddam and Russian intelligence allegedly pledged to hand over Baghdad with minimal resistance to allied forces provided they spared the lives of Saddam and a hundred of his close relatives. The US, for its part, promised to safely send Saddam and his entourage to a third country.

Baztab added that Mohammed Saeed Al Sahaf, Iraqi Information Minister, was instructed to stay in Baghdad until the very last moments to lend the impression that everything in Saddam's camp was under control. The agency also claimed that Russia gained $5 billion to orchestrate this agreement.

Iran's state TV, which is under the supervision of the supreme leader, also attributed the fall of Baghdad to a secret deal between coalition forces and the deposed Iraqi president. It aired the fall of Baghdad without showing scenes of Iraqis dancing in the streets. Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said there are serious questions surrounding Saddam's demise.
