A man thought to be the step-son of Saddam Hussein was arrested tonight in Miami on an immigration violation. Mohammad Saffi arrived in the Los Angelas yesterday on a flight from New Zeland and then came to Miami. He came to South Florida to attend a flight school.

[He came here to study but did so on the wrong visa.]

Remember the thread about the break in at the INS were official visa stamps were stolen? They must have forged the wrong ones.

He should have come through Saudi Arabia. They give US visas to anybody, and the best part is, the INS waves them in, no questions asked! Such a deal.

Saddam's son in Miami? Someone in the DNC should've told him that it was too late to vote for Gore.

Should we deport him? Or let him loose in New York in front of a couple of hundred family members, of the 9/11 victims?
Let's fire him back to Iraq from a canon.

Perhaps they waited until he got to the East Coast, to arrest him, to get him as far away from the 9th Circuit Court as possible. :)

The Australian sims weren't approved. The sim scheduling had nothing to do with the holiday, but availability of the sim.

Care to tell us how you know this information?

Yes, but it wouldn't be prudent. The NZ media should have good coverage of it tomarrow, and hopefully the truth will be known. Sadly, Mohammed has already been tried and found guilty by the press and had his name slandered around the world.

Hirohito's first cousins at two removes served in the US Army in WWII. Frank Boreman, the first guy around the Moon had an uncle Boremann who was big time with Hitler.

If this young man's mother was Hussein's mistress, and he was her son by a different marriage (or arrangement), then he is most likely a refugee from Saddam Hussein. We remember what he did to his sons-in-law.

What the guy apparantly did was apply for and study under the wrong visa. So we send him back to New Zealand where he applies for the right one.

Yes indeed. That was the joke to my Antipodean friends here... actually IIRC they still have an Air Force but it is strictly a kind of transport outfit. What they stood down was the fighter force, which was flying obsolescent A-4s. The obsolescence of the fighters wasn't that big a deal because the pilots were so good (good men with bad weapons beat poor men with good weapons every time). At least some of the pilots have hired on with other nations. I hear that two went to the Sultan of Oman's Air Force (which uses lots of mercenary pilots, mostly ex-RAF).

Sir Tim is a very well-known collector and restorer of historic fighter planes (Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, Russian Yaks, etc) from Wanaka, NZ. The defence of the nation is now in his hands, which puts a heavy load on New Zealand's diplomacy.

In real terms, what NZ's policies are saying is, "We'll rely primarily on hope as a method, but if we get really deep into trouble the Yanks and Aussies will come bail us out." Eh, it will probably work for them. If not, well the Indonesians and Chinese are gentle masters -- ask the folks in Timor and Tibet.

Thanks for the update on Saffi, as I don't do TV. :) Bad luck if he is really a good guy who just happens to be loosely related to a schmuck. One thing that is really at risk, mostly through the comic ineptitude and Gestapo ethic of John Magaw's TSA, is the US's position as the leader in aviation and flight training, which has enormous benefits for the nation. One understands how in times of war they err on the side of caution, but so far nothing the TSA has done is any obstacle to a terrorist, and most of it seems bent on developing an intrusive citizen-surveillance system.

It never ceases to amaze me that the Great Satan continues to be the country of choice for learning and training to acquire the skills to later destroy it.
Remember "selling the rope with which to hang us"?
Seems like the Marxists are not the only ones pursuing that option to destroy the U.S.

What to do with him?
Keep him isolated a few months before deporting him.
Take thorough photographs, fingerprints and DNA samples from him.
Then ban him permanently from the U.S.

Then let him complain to the International court.

So how much is Saddam paying you to post this stuff????

Huh?? HUH?? Got no answer, eh???

We should tie big bombs to you and Hussein's b*stard and send you both to your 72 virgins!

Any further attempts to post ironic or sarcastic comments on this site by you is obviously masochistic!

You sicko....;^)
