>But I wonder if Saddam read the news reports and decided to incorporate van Riper's ideas?

It's the other way around. Saddam used motorcycle messengers to control his Scuds during Desert Storm. It worked very well from his point of view.

The suicidal speedboats are inspired by what happened to the Cole, and also by what Iranian Rev. Guards tried to do in the 80s.

I find it disturbing that the Blue side in the war game was at all surprised by those tactics.
