Oooops, it was the British the Iraqis surrendered to, not the USA troops. Message 18676391 Call it the fog of pre-war. They all look the same to me anyway, British and American soldiers. <...Some silly Iraqi soldiers tried to jump the gun and surrender before it was time, which would have spoiled my prediction. Sensibly, the bemused USA troops sent them back to wait for the official call to surrender, explaining that they were only testing their guns... > Mqurice PS: And now it's just an apocryphal story. An urban legend. Well, not exactly urban, but you know what I mean. Did anyone surrender or not? Was that disinformation from the disbanded USA "Office of Fog and FUDD"? [FUDD = fear, uncertainty, doubt and disinformation]. If word gets out from the psyops propagandists that Iraqis are surrendering already, it will reduce confidence in those left holding the fort for Saddam [who will NOT be leading the charge from the front lines].
