Excellent. The more kooky demands Saddam makes, the less diplomatic fallout we suffer when we take him out.

"It has also organized a 6.5-million-strong "Jerusalem Liberation Army" which vowed to fight along with the Palestinians against Israeli occupation."

Hasn't Saddam been talkig about this so called liberation army for over a year now. So far we haven't seen anything

Iraq has demanded the United Nations to allocate 1 billion euros (some 930 million U.S. dollars) from its oil revenues to support Palestine.

Gee willikers....
What about those 600000 sick and starving Iraqi children?

Killing Jews is more important?

[okie01]

Interesting that the first source for this demand is Xinhua.

Who would stand to benefit the most from stirring up the Mideast against Israel and the U.S., hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???

[Mixer]

LOL....like any country will put themselves in this position. A position which would lead to a bigtime depression for that country. Not to mention being placed on the quack list.

Thanks saddam you made my night.

If the UN diverts one penny to support "Palestine," we should withdraw from it that day.

And require it to leave US soil, root and branch, and good riddance. As an Islamic institution it ought to have been in Baghdad all along.

We were nice enough once to let them Nationalize our oil fields - ok as long as we get the oil. Try to cut off the oil now Arab League, and you will quickly learn that Carter is no longer President. They know better, Saddam is just trying anything he can think of to avoid the *ss kicking he is about to get.

This presents some interesting questions. (And I don't have the answers.)

1. Is the theory that Bush is behaving the way he is because of a threat received during last fall's anthrax mailings true?
2. If so, is Saddam threating the rest of the Arab leaders with the same threat?
3. If so, how will they react?
