Saddam Hussein captured...
Commanding all of his loyalists to 'fight to the death', even as his sons did, Saddam, although well-armed, whimpers and snivels off into loud-mouthed captivity without a scratch on him (but with plenty of lice). Isn't there some Arab cultural issue with such utter cowardice? |

made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: Commanding all of his loyalists to 'fight to the death', even as his sons did, Saddam, although well-armed, whimpers and snivels off into loud-mouthed captivity without a scratch on him (but with plenty of lice). Isn't there some Arab cultural issue with such utter cowardice? I'm waiting for the BBC to start whining about how we "humiliated" him, by showing pictures of us probing him with a tongue depressor (of course, his style would have been to cut the tongue out). You could hear the dejection in the voices of some of the people on NPR this morning. |

Isn't there some Arab cultural issue with such utter cowardice? I don't know but I do not believe his actions are unique. Just think about how many of the remaining members of that deck of cards turned themselves in. How many committed suicide? None that I know about. If they follow Arab tradition they will lop off his head publicly for all Iraqis to see and parade it about. Seems like an easy way out for Saddam. Perhaps they will use a dull blade. http://www.richard.clark32.btinternet.co.uk/behead.html -- Daniel http://www.challengerdisaster.info Mount Charleston, not Charleston, SC |

No, martydom is only for the sheep that these monstrous people lead, not themselves. |

I'm waiting for the BBC to start whining about how we "humiliated" him, by showing pictures of us probing him with a tongue depressor Likely. But in this case, as with his sons, it was important to show, clearly and quickly, that this really *is* the guy.... (of course, his style would have been to cut the tongue out). Hopefully someone will remind him that if the Iranians had reached him in 1980, they might well have imitated his style. We merely gave him a check-up and (I think) a shave....

One of the barking moonbats at Democratic Underground asked this morning, "What right did we have to shave his beard?" |
