Saddam International Airport being defended
Contrary to early reports of little resistance to the 3rd ID in its assault on Saddam International Airport, FoxNews is now reporting that elements of four Iraqi regular army divisions are defending the airport. No details on how effective that resistance has been. Posted By SunDevilDog at April 3, 2003 02:29 PM | TrackBackComments
Regulars? Expect lots of surrendering or lots of death for the Iraqis. Posted by: Russell at April 3, 2003 02:35 PMI think this is great. The more that are at the airport, the less that will be bunkers donw in Baghdad... Posted by: kreative at April 3, 2003 02:42 PMKinda off the subject, but I thought I had read somewhere that Saddam doesn't like to be called "Saddam" and that it particularly irkes him that we've been doing so (esp. the Prezes). Is this place really Saddam Airport or does it have another official name? Just curious.

Posted by: Cowboy Bob at April 3, 2003 02:53 PMActually, it's "Hussein" that he doesn't like to be called. Saddam is his name and Hussein was his father's name. Technically, it's "Saddam, son of Hussein". And he didn't like his father. His son, therefore, is Qusay Saddam.
