- <p> U.S. equipment problems were nothing compared with
- Saddam's in the final days of the war. With military supplies
- and arms dwindling after numerous allied strikes, the Iraqis
- resorted to "an odd bit of desperation," according to a U.S. War
- College analyst. They launched a Scud missile at Israel that was
- topped with a 700-lb. chunk of concrete as its "warhead." The
- dud Scud buried itself harmlessly in the Negev desert.
