editThe "April Fool" calim from General Frank maybe right, but it is very doubtful that it would have altered the war in any significant way. Iraq had no army that could truely defend against the US-lead invasion.

Can someone get hold of the book and find out what General Franks actually wrote? The three linked news stories have two contradictory versions, neither of which agrees with what we have here. Securiger 07:34, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

editIf April Fool is an American officer, is he really a double agent? Wouldn't he just be a spy? --BDD 02:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have no idea if this article is true, but according this story he would be a double agent. If he actually gave real documents he would be a spy. But according to this story he gave them false information, meaning he is still working with the US, thus being a double agent, rather than a spy for another country. Like I said, this could all be fake though. Brinkley32 (talk) 08:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Is this an april's fool itself?
editWith all the forces accumulating in Kuwait and in Gulf, how would you fool an already collapsing regime into thinking that it will be attacked from Turkey and Jordon? (both have refused any invasion initiating from their lands) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.188.60.123 (talk • contribs) 08:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Merge April Fool's Day (disambiguation) into April Fool
editoverlapping subject matter, these both should share a disambiguation page. --Valley2city₪‽ 06:25, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I would agree. They don't need a page each, so we should put them together. StuartDD 12:36, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Me too. I think that that would be perfect, but... maybe it will be better to keep it like this until more April Fool articles are made, otherwise, it would just annoy people. --GalactZero 01:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

editWouldn't you want the assets near you, so you can take them out? Especially tanks, that can hide in alleyways and roads and such in cities. Especially tanks sitting around in a desert would be awesome targets. Fly over, infrared, yea, totally tanks right there. Report cords. Boom. Codename "April Fools" means the government has a sense of humor. Dubious.....There is just nothing there that can compete. Until you get into fighting in the streets with assault weapons that everyone there has. I distinctly recall, CNN showing tanks rolling on the streets of Baghdad, and the Minister of Information saying to press "What? What are you talking about, there are no tanks! We are fighting them off!" *Minister of Information, quickly looks behind his back to see if a tank is near* "We are fighting them off!" 72.218.188.96 (talk) 14:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
