FOX News-Saddam Plans 'Historic Address' to Iraq People Tomorrow

FOX News ^ | January 5, 2002 | Tony Snow

[ewing]

Speech to be broadcast live on the internet and on Iraq state TV.

Anyone know where we can get it with the time difference..

[EGPWS]

I haven't got to that point yet but I'm getting there...with age!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Maybe he is a Freeper and he will be doing an Opus.

OMG, that is hilarious!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I'm sick and tired of

being on all these

stupid Ping Lists.

Please remove me.

Love, Saddam.

And I thought the opus line was funny....... ROFLMAO

So, are you two guys taking this act on the road?

[hove]

"What if he resigns?"

Would that qualify as "regime change"?

[Gritty]

I can just hear his speech now:

"Ah did not have scientific relations with those nuclear and germ warfare scientists. Not once. Never! Now, Ah'm going back to work and do what the Iraqi people elected to me to do!"

[orfisher]

>>If we don't kill Saddam the Iraqi people will.<<....Don't bet on it. The only opposition that's evident are the Iraq exiles and the Kurds. The people of Bagdad seem quite content with the status quo....at least that what had been reported...and no not just by the liberal media..heard it on Fox.

[Preech1]

"Dum...dum...DUMMMM!!! " I...am CAPTAIN CHAOS!!!

(If anyone could paste a picture I would be much obliged!)

[Steve Eisenberg]

Historic speech - hmmmm

Tennesse_Bob has the right idea. A little goggling turns up the following tiny little detail left out of the Fox story at the head of this thread:

Saddam Hussein has given regular speeches on 6th of January since 1979.

[Preech1]

Don't...I repeat, do not go to "Goggle.com" try Google.com instead...

[MinuteGal]

Saddam is making the speech tomorrow at 11 o'clock. For those of us untutored in Eastern Saddamite Savings Time, when will we be catching this on TV?

when will we be catching this on TV?

3AM eastern time. Set your alarm. Not.

[ConservativeMan55]

I've also heard many defectors on Fox say that the Iraqi people are praying for the United States to not only start the war, but seriously finish it this time.

I highly doubt the Iraqi people are happy with the status quo. Torture isn't what its cracked up to be. They must all love the guy who let all the murderer's and rapists out as well.

[bert]

I think you are on the right track. Saddam will not resign yet...... he still has a little time. He will make more threats about the death waiting for invaders in Bagdad.

Saddam will never resign. If he capitulates, he will simply disappear, leaving the underlings holding the bag.

[MinuteGal]

3 AM after midnight tonight, or 3 AM after midnight Monday?

I KNEW I should have asked for one of those international time-clocks for Christmas!

[Semper911]

If the speech is at 11am on Monday in Baghdad, then it is at 3am Monday eastern time. (3 hours after midnight tonight.) Our clocks are 8 hours behind theirs. They are east of us--they get the sun first.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

If the RATS get drowned out by Saddam, it will be God's hand once again...

I like the way you think...

[Steve Eisenberg]

I highly doubt the Iraqi people are happy with the status quo.

Right. Results of surreptitious polling are that Iraqis want to be invaded. See:

No need. You can convert anything here:

[Tax Government]

He will try to motivate the population to fight.
