CNN reports:
"In the last analysis, he seemed not terribly brave," Rumsfeld said.
About 600 soldiers of the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, and
special operations forces of Task Force 121 conducted the raid in
Ad Dawr, near a group of ramshackle buildings. They found Saddam
hiding in a 6- to 8-foot-deep hole, equipped with a basic
ventilation
system and covered with bricks and dirt.
What's Saddam going to do? Use his pistol against anti-tank weapons
like his sons? He was never considered stupid. I'm beginning to think
Rumsfeld might be talking through his ass again.
Saddam has always been characterized as a guy who would go down shooting.
He himself has professed many times his willingness to die for the Iraqi
people. Seems he'll get his chance after all.
