From CNN :
Iraqi troops at first resisted and some were killed, but U.S. and British officials said that resistance faded and hundreds of Iraqis surrendered.

I think you're right; trying to keep the troops from throwing down the guns and walking away from the fighting, or surrendering.

Feel free to correct me, though.

Addy had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Actually, from what I've heard at least, they don't know if Saddam is even alive at this point. The Pentagon is "very confident that Saddam and his two (?) sons" were located in one of the primary targets on March 19. No live broadcasts of Saddam going "lolrofl im aliev u guyz sux" have happened since then.

Feel free to correct me, though.

There hasn't been a live broadcast, but according to a crack team of pimply-faced teenagers at my school, the government has proven that Saddam is still alive.

No...what they've proven, so far, is that the man in that video that was released shortly after the "decapitation" attack on Baghdad, was Saddam.

I think that's bullshit personally, but apparently it was proven.

Either way, that video could have been recorded at any time.

Bajah had this to say about dark elf butts:
Appeal to greed. Sad thing is that it will probably work for a large percentage of their troops. Shrug, time will tell.

Yah, but isn't there a price on Saddam's head too?

That guy didn't even look like Saddam. He was far too pudgy.

The two big things are that:
1. He looks much more bloated and pale than he did just a few weeks ago. Could mean anything from infection of a wound (seems too soon for it to have set in), to it being a body double who let himself go.

2. His mannerisms are all wrong. Saddam doesn't wear thick glasses often (never appears wearing them in any of his recent appearances), doesn't read from a memo pad (reads off a teleprompter if he reads from anything at all), and generally seems disoriented.

I think that since we haven't seen any direct broadcasts, Saddam is either injured somewhere and has gone to ground, letting his dupes speak for him, or has just plain gone to ground and is running the country through the dupes while he covers his own ass. I don't think that if he were dead there would be much the regime could do to sit on that information.
