Physicians assume stroke with dictator of Iraq

Is Saddam mortally ill?

Munich - Does a stroke solve the world's problem?

Dictator Saddam Hussein of Iraq (65) has recently suffered evidently a brain blow. The famous Munich internist and Iraq expert Dr. Martha Hausperger reports this in "Ärztezeitung".

In interviews he does not move the left arm, his face is rigid and mask-like -- typically for a stroke patient! Already in 2001 the cocaine-dependent dictator had a difficult stroke. Besides, since 1998 he suffers from large intestine cancer.

Yesterday Hussein in a letter attacked US president Bush again: Tyrann thinks, it is an alternative to God? Iraq becomes with an attack over the US troops triumphieren. Bush affirmed: Hussein has the choice. It must decide whether there is war or peace? He is disarmed.

The pentagon sent now further 60,000 soldiers, thus is now 250,000 in the region. The naval combat force around the US aircraft carrier "Nimitz" direction gulf ran out with 70 airplanes and 8500 soldiers.

[Hunble]

[annyokie]

I've been wondering -- with TWO government interpreters involved -- who exactly it was that Dan Rather was talking to...

[billorites]

"Dictator Saddam Hussein suffered brain blow, does not move the left arm, his face is rigid and mask-like, cocaine dependent, difficult stroke...suffers from large intestine cancer."

And on top of all that...

that awful itching.

German doctor: Is Saddam mortally ill?

American mombonn: Not mortally ill enough.

Room temperature is the ideal for him, and his entire regime.

Preferably without us dropping a bomb; but, que sera, sera.

[Cautor]

I'd say the Kraut economy is deathly ill--thanks to the far-left commie/greens who have taken over the government. I can hear the death rattle now.

This translation is mortally ill. Never heard a more a propo name for a web service than Babel-fish.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Never heard a more a propo name for a web service than Babel-fish.

Then there's the Iraqi paper, Babel, but that would be more agit-propo.

[Nucluside]

Saddam ill? Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like Osama was dying "right now" a year and a half ago. I won't believe it until there is a grave to piss on.

[Thinkin' Gal]

his face is rigid and mask-like

All this time, Saddam's been hiding under everyone's, er, nose.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Dictator Saddam Hussein of Iraq (65) has recently suffered evidently a brain blow.

"Her brain will laterally explore... literally explode..."

[Chi-townChief]

Probably a bad translation - The doctor may just have said that he thinks Saddam IS a stroke.
