Baghdad subway/Saddam hideaway - why no reports on this
Before the war we were told of this underground marvel - and a 100 days after the war there is nothing.

Is this just another lie - and if so where does the lie begin?

Seems likely there is an underground. Seems unlikely we would not have checked it out. What did we find that we are hiding?

1. Vast Underground Complexes all over Iraq, I recall
They were stocked to withstand years of seige and could house

half the Iraqi Army.

Of course they said similar things about Tora Bora and other places

in Afghanistan which turned out to be artist renderings of possible

fortresses that OBL could have built with his construction knowledge

2. They had Germans saying they designed the complex!
At Tora Bora, we designed and built the complex - we just lied about how big it was. And reporters did finally enter it and show some photos.

Here there has been a news black out.

very courious.
