As U.S. officials tried to determine whether Saddam Hussein survived a massive bombing in Baghdad, the battle for control of the Iraqi capital raged Tuesday with American forces blasting government targets and foiling an apparent Iraqi counterattack. Overnight, a U.S. warplane dropped four bunker-buster bombs and blasted a smoking crater 60 feet deep at a building in the capital where the Iraqi president and his sons were believed to be meeting.
PRESIDENT BUSH said he didn’t know whether Saddam was alive after a thunderous explosion rocked the upscale al-Mansour neighborhood of Baghdad. “I don’t know whether he survived,” the president said. “The only thing I know is that he’s losing power,” Bush said at a news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair after a meeting at Hillsborough Castle outside Belfast. Intelligence officials told NBC that it would take time to determine if Saddam was inside the complex.
If he miraculously survived this, he won't last much longer. Our intelligence sources and our occupation of Baghdad will mean curtains for that cheap thug.
