Funny when I was a kid I would always give in to my older brothers ultimatums just as he started to wail on me.

Bush's ultimatum was that Hussein and his sons leave Iraq immediately. Never happened.

A former political adviser to Saddam Hussein's son

What is this really? Is this like saying "Uday's best friend said..." and we're supposed to believe it?

This is a very bad October surprise if we're supposed to toss out Republicans because the friend of Saddam's son said so.

And shame on the media for passing it along.

I must be missing your point...are you saying that Sadaam was actually proposing to surrender before the deadline?

I don't know that the plain common sense you exhibited by caving in to your big brother would be consistent with what the suicide-bomber mentality would endorse.....

Why didn't we hear of this during 2004? Very suspicious.

BINGO! You hit the nail on the head.

You know, we Americans are too damn nice. The U.S. Army should have shot that petty tyrant while they had the chance!

What a bunch of pure BS. I was going to buy my wife a 2 carat diamond solitare, but; the bank and all my credit card companies shut down for five hours. It is always they were going to do something. What happened to the saying-"A man who wants to do something finds a way-A man who does not finds and excuse."

FYI, in the future, if you ever see PRNewswire, don't consider it news, for it isn't. It is only a press release.

That is all PRNewswire is.

He says his five-week ordeal which ended when he was deported to Egypt, left him suffering from depression, flashbacks, and an obsessive desire for death.

I thought those were symptoms of islamitis.

No what I was saying was he surely wasn't giving in before we invaded him. It's easy to say after your getting your ass kicked you really meant to give in or you were trying to give in but you didn't give me a chance.

Of course I think you may be trying to read into my remarks a little too seriously as it was meant as a joke. Are we really supposed to believe some lying islamopignazi advisor to Uday? I mean really the whole reporting of this guys comments is a joke in the first place. I guess Bagdad Bob was busy so the reporter had to find another person to bash Bush.

Sounds like a load of crap. If true, why all the rigamarole? Just announce it. It's not like there was no Bagdad Bob.
