So now Saddam is sending suicide bombers to carry out targetted assassinations. I never thought that was his style, but I suppose desperate measures...etc.

This war is not turning out according to the Pentagon's plans. It seems Rumsfeld, in his usual brusque manner, had put aside concerns by top military brass over the number of ground troops required for this campaign. War is never easy to plan - as well it shouldn't be - but surely Rumsfeld the civilian could've heeded the advice of the seasoned military experts in his team.
