Desparate measures: How will Saddam react?

"The dictator of Iraq is a student of Stalin," President Bush said in his prime-time speech the other day.

Hussein and petrified British child, held briefly hostage prior to Gulf War in 1990. Trying to make like "Uncle Joe" Stalin (right), Saddam was even less convincing.

Hussein the Conqueror

Let him react as he pleases. It will avail him not.

Who sent the anthrax, Jacob?

[dighton]

We have this anthrax. You die now.

We're all s******g in our pants, NOT!, expletive deleted, you morons.

[Sabertooth]

Who sent the anthrax, Jacob?

Here's where I'd start looking...

White House Mail Machine Has Anthrax

...Asked if he was tested for the germ that has killed three people already this month, or if he was taking precautionary antibiotics, Bush replied simply: "I don't have anthrax."

At least some White House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials won't discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now.

On the night of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was "a precaution," according to one person directly involved.

I believe there was a thus far unpublicized credible threat of an anthrax attack on White House personnel on September 11th, 2001. Why else administer Cipro?

Remember, this was days before the first known attack in Florida, which wasn't even considered an attack initially. That links anthrax to 9/11, not domestic terrorists.

And anthrax means Saddam. So anthrax on 9/11 means Saddam on 9/11.

ps. My name's not Jacob.

If you get banned, does that mean I don't have to see that stupid Leopard anymore? :)

[Robert_Paulson2]

If you get a brain, does that mean you will stop posting nonsense here?

[Robert_Paulson2]

INCOMING!

[Dec31,1999]

Yes. But in the meantime, I will continue to annoy you.

The fact that the Bush administration keeps bringing it up suggests the weakness of its argument that attacking Iraq would enhance U.S. security.

What an imbecile. Dubya keeps bringing it up to demonstrate Saddam is a totally unhinged madman. Of course it's relevant and strengthens the American argument and does not, as this fool says, suggest the argument is weak.

Kindly use a barf alert next time!

[MoralSense]

Yet the administration has no evidence that Iraq is cooperating with al Qaeda or is likely to do so.

Wrong, as outlined in the President's Cincinnati speech, and in numerous published stories, most notably a long investigative piece in the New Yorker.

The most important reason to attack Iraq is that Iraq is the nail sticking up, and the nail sticking up gets hit. That sounds facetious, but it's not. The best way to combat terrorism comprehensively is to rearrange the politics of the entire Middle East, and deposing Saddam is an excellent place to start.

Actually, I think they're kinda dumb. It's better that people make up their own minds.

[A CA Guy]

Saddan will try and use the weapons he doesn't have. Starting with Israel, he will lob all kinds of caca hoping to start a Jihad.
He can only hope to turn this into an us versus them holy war or this is over.

[LibWhacker]

Yeah, but I read through the whole damned thing expecting him to make sense at some point. It was a complete waste of my time. Call it something else if you'd like, Sabertooth, but give us some kind of warning, please.

Are we voting? Three votes to kill the cat

[MHGinTN]

With the first bombing runs, Saddam will shoot one of his doubles in the head and have one of his aides run the poor bastard out to the cameras for the world to see ... 'We've killed him so you can stop now.' And the despotic democrats and their postponeNIKS will cry 'peace' and 'safety' and Saddam will continue to be a thorn or nail as you put it. If there be war, crush the enemy and disarm the survivors!

[Robert_Paulson2]

so for the time then... you admit your posting is brainless... thank you ...

heh heh :-)

[Robert_Paulson2]

they say it tastes JUST like chicken...

I learned that from a clerk at colonel sanders, after finding a cat hair in the bucket... the clerk was a new hire from southeast asia...
