phase of the war. by first light over baghdad the mayhem had silenced. the attack formations and incoming missiles had stopped. there was an eerie calm. this was a city stunned by the gravity and speed of action. roads were virtually empty. but some motorists were speeding away. it was impossible to report accurately at this stage of the conflict on how much fight was left in iraq s war machine. all potential if any remained in iraq s plans to enlarge the war zone with a strike on israel. the city itself was by no means physically devastated but it was in mental shock, that saddam hussein was not expecting this to happen after invading kuwait. he made a historic miscalculation. brent sadler, itn, baghdad. weird how the implications of war here, literally iraq still owes kuwait $20 billion in reparations and 1,000 people, remains at this point, are still missing 20 years later. it s also interesting, you think of the gulf war, one of the syndromes we heard about was gulf war syndrom
