Saddam announces unconditional surrender; Bush discounts move as another 'delaying tactic'

Kuwait City -- Iraqi President Saddam Hussein announced Monday that he was surrendering unconditionally to coalition forces. A convoy from Baghdad arrived at Kuwait City carrying the Iraqi dictator and his two sons.

US President George Bush immediately discounted the events as a 'delaying tactic designed to put off the eventual capture of Saddam Hussein and the removal of his two sons from Iraq.'

Coalition forces continued the air and ground campaign against Basra, several tactical bridges, as well as the sweeping desert to the south of Baghdad.

"Wherever they go, they cannot hide," said Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "We will bomb Baghdad into submission and thereby bring peace and prosperity to the rest of the world."
