STEALTH TANKS? NYT reports several Coalition efforts to weaken the Baath Party’s grip including this one:

In the first foray of a psychological campaign intended to turn residents of Basra against the ruling Baath Party, British armored units sneaked into the besieged city last night and destroyed two statues, presumably of President Saddam Hussein, British military officials said today.

Hmm. How, exactly, does an armored unit “sneak”?
