Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

More from the Nervous Nellie Brigade: Saddam's Bunkers Said 'Impossible' to Destroy

By Nedim Dervisbegovic

SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Underground bunkers built for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) can resist massive bombardment and those hiding inside could survive for up to six months, a retired Yugoslav army officer who helped build them said.

"I believe that if Saddam does not leave, and I think he has nowhere to go, they will find him in one of these facilities -- if he does not find a way out by then," retired Lt. Col. Resad Fazlic told Reuters in an interview on Tuesday. "These bunkers can resist a direct hit of a 20 kiloton- strong bomb or atomic bomb impact and keep those inside independent of the outside world for six months," said Fazlic, who oversaw the building of the bunkers in the late 1970s. [...]

So? In the overall campaign, whether these bunkers can be destroyed or not is moot.

If he stays in one of them for too long, he might just have to stay there permanently. Sorta like a Roach Motel.
