 PNS: Why Baghdad Fell Without a Fight -- Does Saddam's General Have the Answer?
The Lebanese newspaper Sawt al-Urouba has alleged that some of the "human shields" who had traveled to Baghdad before the war in the name of protecting civilian targets were in fact U.S. agents who bribed Iraqi generals while in the city.
In a May 19 article in the Defense News, retiring Chief of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Tommy Franks, is quoted as telling a Defense News reporter on May 10 that, before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, U.S. Special Forces had gone in and bribed Iraqi generals not to fight.
Whatever the details, it would appear that refinements in military strategy and high-tech materiel were not, as the Pentagon has suggested, the key to quick U.S. victory in Iraq.
