Still, given that we have difficulty supplying our 100,000 troops, I wonder how we will be able to supply the 20 or so million of Iraqis under our control when their food starts running out in a few weeks, if there is continuing guerilla warfare around the country. |

What's going on here? For one thing, Al-Douri clearly hasn't spoken with either Saddam, Qusay, or Uday Hussein since the war started on March 19. But more interestingly, he remains noncommittal on whether or not Saddam is still alive. Notice how Al-Douri (who's a lawyer) lawyers his way around the question: He thinks Saddam is alive. His evidence: the handful of undated, videotaped Saddam speeches that have been released. |

"This is a very serious matter," a senior administration official said. "We are not talking about missile technology or components but full-fledged No Dong missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons — and they used aircraft we gave them to bring the missiles home." The nuclear-capable missiles have a range of up to 900 miles and can reach virtually every major Indian city. |

Seems to be claiming that a tank would have 4 feet armor (very far fetched!), though I did not read it quite that way.
