My platoon (3/66 AR mortars) saw news reports of this on TV when we were in Bayji. I don't remember if we were aware of it prior to seeing the news or not, but I'll never forget watching it on the little TV we had there. It was kind of surreal. Col Hickey was our brigade CO and had just been to our little compound a month or so before to check in on us after an attack during the riots in October.

For some reason, as a B52 crew dog in Desert Storm, I seem to recall being briefed that the code word “Horner’s Busters” meant that intel had determined that a particular aircraft had Saddam Hussein aboard. “Horner” was an AF general, but I’ve forgotten who or what was “Buster.” Sound familiar to anyone?

Very cool story and how it unfolded from the inside. Admiral McRaven and how he handled Saddam explaining how the ego was eliminated when he knew he wasn’t in charge anymore. Would have loved to be at the table to listen and learn from wisdom how they both handled situations in difficult circumstances.

I'm curious... With all due respect, if Saddam was 'sadistic' and 'pure evil', then why did the U.S. back him in the 1980s in the war against Iran, knowing that he was launching some of the worst chemical attacks in history?
