No Bunker where U.S. Bombs Targeted Saddam-CBS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Baghdad bunker which the United States said it bombed on the opening night of the Iraq war in a bid to kill Saddam Hussein never existed, CBS Evening News reported Wednesday.
The network quoted a U.S. Army colonel in charge of inspecting key sites in Baghdad as saying no trace of a bunker or of bodies had been found at the site on the southern outskirts of the Iraqi capital, known as Dora Farms.
"When we came out here, the primary thing they were looking for was an underground facility, or bodies, forensics, and basically, what they saw was giant holes created. No underground facilities, no bodies," Col. Tim Madere said.
CBS, saying it was the first news organization to visit the site, reported that the CIA had searched it once and Col. Madere had searched it twice as part of efforts to find traces of DNA that could indicate if Saddam or his sons had been killed or wounded.
The network said the main palace in the compound remained standing despite the surrounding destruction. It quoted Madere as saying anyone who had been in the building could have survived the raid.
Shortly after the attack, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters: "There's no question but that the strike on that leadership headquarters was successful. We have photographs of what took place. The question is, what was in there?"
The United States effectively acknowledged that the March 20 raid failed to kill Saddam when it launched a second air attack aimed at the Iraqi president on April 7.
The fate of Saddam and his sons Uday and Qusay is still unclear.
Rumsfeld said earlier this month, "If you don't have evidence he's dead, you've probably got to assume he's alive."

Reagan had many ficticious battles reported through news organizations. No proof of the battles happening, but they were reported through major news organizations.
If it wasn't for a reporter from LIFE MAGAZINE filming the non-existence of the battles, there would have been no evidence of Reagan's great deception used to escelate the inflated military budget.
Let's also not forget that George Bush senior had said how Saddam was going to have weapons of mass destruction available to him within 10 months... and now... 10 YEARS later... there still have been no proof of there weapons...
and according to one of Reagan's former military advisors, Bill Clinton did much more to improve the efficiency of our military force than either of the Bushes.
In fact... while Bush praises the military with one hand, his administration is trying to cut their benefits with the other.

The assholes have lost their siege on Michael Moore's website.
They have been disposed like the trash they are.
It is very easy to assassinate someone's character by trying to change the meaning of someone's words to make it seem like something else.
There are some people on this board here who have tried to make arguments against me, but they're views are just as laughable because they aren't even paying attention to the things I am writing. I read some of their replies to my messages and I'm like
"What words of the English language do these people not understand?"
Their inability to even grasp what I'm talking about makes their arguments against me ludicrous.
For example...
Person A says something offensive in connection with a movie or series
I complain about Person A's attitude and about the offensive thing said
Person B accuses me of saying that everyone has to love the movie or series that Person A was talking about when making the offensive remark.
I say that this was never what I said and go into lengthy detail explaining my points I made about Person A and try to figure out what the hell is wrong with Person B that they can't even grasp simple sentences.
Person B says I am an arrogant, stuck up egotist with a sense of superiority that makes me an offense to all around.
I finally reach the conclusion that compared to people who can't even read the language of their own nation, that I guess I am superior... because I can read.
I have no reason to even bother defending myself against person B, because person B has shown themselves to have no credibility nor carry any weight in made up points based on nothing other than some twisted logic containined within Person B's mind. And even if Person B has friends who come out of the woodwork to back up the nonsense that Person B has spouted... I still won't be swayed by people who clearly can't even grasp simple concepts.
To use a very cliche statement... just because Person B and all his friends decide to jump off a bridge, that's no reason I should.
Person A and B can badmouth me all they want.
Assholes can block off Michael Moore's website...
However... there are enough people who have a countering view to the ignorance of Persons A, B and the other assholes who would rather just attack rather than actually use their brains.
See... if I think something... and someone else can give me credible evidence to prove my point is wrong... or if I happen to discover evidence that proves me wrong... then I will take this new information and use it to help form a new view and readjust my views based on the new information. If the people are without any credible support or are untrustworthy, then I will maintain the views I have until something with more merit comes along.

A bunch of Assholes have blocked off Michael Moore's website, thus preventing me from communicating with friends I had made on the message board there.
Even if you don't like Michael Moore, imagine if someone who hated anime blocked off this website with links to their anti-anime website and you couldn't get in to talk to the friends you have on this website.
Now... let's try to talk about these assholes.
First... here is a quote...
Q. Why is the movie called "Bowling for Columbine"?
A. First off, let me make it clear that this is not a bowling movie. Bowling fans will be disappointed if they come expecting to see a number of exciting bowling maneuvers.
It is also not a movie about the Columbine tragedy, although that sad event is revisited briefly in the film.
The title is taken from the little-known fact that the two killers, Dylan and Eric, were supposed to be in bowling class at Columbine High School on the morning of the murders. At least five witnesses, including their teacher, told the police that they saw one or both boys that morning at the bowling alley for their first hour class. Some school and law enforcement officials later maintained that the two boys skipped that class that morning yet no other witness has come forward to say they saw Eric and Dylan anywhere else that morning.
One reason the film is called "Bowling For Columbine" is that, after the massacre, all the pundits and experts started blaming all the usual suspects that are wheeled out for blame whenever a school shooting occurs-evil rock music (in this case Marilyn Manson), violent video games, and bad parenting.
My point is that those scapegoats make about as much sense as blaming bowling. After all, Eric and Dylan were bowlers, they took bowling class at Columbine-was bowling responsible for their evil deeds? If they bowled that morning, did the bowling trigger their desire to commit mass murder? Or, if they skipped their bowling class that morning, did that bring on the massacre? Had they bowled, that may have altered their mood and prevented them from picking up their guns. As you can see, this is all nonsense, just as it is nonsense to blame Marilyn Manson.
The title suggests other metaphors for the state of the nation which are best left to the viewers and their imagination.
See? Michael Moore is taking the approach of suggesting an absurd theory that Bowling is responsible for the actions that happened at Columbine and pointing out that this theory IS as absurd as blaming video games, violent movies and Manson....
but some people are trying to imply that Michael Moore is actually saying it WAS bowling that was responsible for the actions of the students and then blaming Michael Moore for having this viewpoint... which is not his viewpoint, but the viewpoint that the Anti-Moore people have created.
A link that the assholes have placed on their blocking page has an article that actually makes this argument...
that we see the first fram indicating that the film is an NRA film... and since the film is clearly not from the NRA, we are already aware that this film is lying to us.
FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
I guess some people are just confused by sarchasm.
Assholes are so easily confused.
Of course... while Michael Moore has a forum where people can challenge him and even an e-mail address where people can ask direct questions... and puts his name on his views...
the COWARDLY ASSHOLES who are trying to stifle Michael Moore with their idiocy don't have any way of being contacted and don't put their names on their views. They hide in safe annonymity.
I support Michael Moore against assholes like this.
To quote the movie Pink Flamingos in re: to the people who are blocking the Michael Moore website
"You have been found guilty of the crime of asshole-ism!"
