"Iraq and all its sons are fully ready to confront the invading aggressors and repel them," according to an Iraqi cabinet statement quoted by the TV station, which is owned by Uday. "The wives and mothers of those Americans who will fight us will weep blood, not tears," said Uday, Saddam's elder son.

I'm not the least bit offended by your concern. By all means sterilize the personal information at your convenience.

The way 'they' speak to project fear or a threat is flavored with more explicit adjectives than what we might use. A western expression might go like this: We will destroy all enemy emplacements. An Iraqi expression might go like this: We will bath in your blood and send your mother a basket with your head in it. Same meaning- just a little more dramatic.

I'm just not the least bit concerned with Saddam or his agents studying Free Republic to glean intelligence.
