Translation from Hebrew to English by me

"Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, visited Baghdad and met Saddam Hussein," reports the Qatari Newspaper "Al Riaya."

The newspaper, who is quoting Nasar Mahmouch, a main political personality in Iraq and who is close to the temprorary government in the country, reports that "Sharon, who was escorted by intelligence officers, landed last Sunday close to the time 20:00 at night at Baghdad aiport."

The report also says that the US governor in Iraq, Paul Bremer, met him and escorted him during the meeting with Saddam.

Ping.

I love it if true. Hope he coughed up a huge lunger.

Did he get enough blood for the next batch of matzo?

[baltodog]

Do you think he converted him to Judism?

[Petronski]

Funny, funny shi'ite if true.

I wonder if Howard Dean finds this rumor interesting. This is meant to inflame the Arabs and the irrational Western Left-- much like the 9-11 theory about Jews having prior knowledge.

This is sick, and I'm afraid that there is more like it to come.

He was accompanied by Elvis, I believe.

Arab rags are unbelievable! Emphasis on UN.

I don't believe it, it wasn't on DEBKA. ;)

Here's another.

Bush Met Saddam On November 27

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Why Sharon and not Bush?

[Redcloak]

Yup... It's true... George H.W. Bush flew Sharon to Baghdad in his own personal SR-71 Blackbird; the one he leases from Haliburton for $1/year.
