'Hostilities have ended.' Sheah, right.
Just how long will the charade that Iraq is a peaceful place where the natives love and admire their liberators continue? Check this article, with the appropriate dateline 'Camp Boom, Iraq':
U.S. forces launched a massive operation early Sunday to crush insurgents and capture senior figures from Saddam Hussein's ousted regime, arresting more than 60 suspects in a show of force designed to stem a wave of deadly attacks on U.S. troops. Also Sunday, the U.S. civilian administrator of Iraq said American forces must kill or capture Saddam so he can no longer be a rallying point for the attackers.
"We'll get our hands on him, dead or alive," L. Paul Bremer told CNN's "Late Edition" in an interview conducted last week and aired Sunday.
The operation, dubbed "Sidewinder," was taking place in a huge swath of central Iraq stretching from the Iranian border to the areas north of Baghdad, and was expected to last several days, military officials said.
More than 20 raids involving air and ground forces were carried out, military officials said. The region has become "the nexus of paramilitary activity in central Iraq," the military said in a statement.
Oops. Seems Bremer just put Hussein into the OBL league. As if they'll ever follow through.
And another thought comes to mind - now that hostilities have been declared over, wouldn't killing Saddam be a violation of international law? Not that the fact would faze the criminals in the White House, but worth pondering for a minute or two.
