"Post-war is Iraq itself with the leadership of Saddam Hussein. We will chase them as war criminals ... and after the collapse of the invasion, the U.S. won't be a superpower anymore. Its collapse will be quick," he said.

Whoa - if nothing else, he seems to have a ready supply of some really good drugs.

[Psycho_Bunny]

I consider dropping dead and going to hell "non-conventional action".

[Rammer]

Al Sahhaf went on to announce that the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus had joined the jihad, and that the Easter Bunny had destroyed seven American tanks and shot down three warplanes for the Iraqi cause.

Appears to be crack. Maybe PCP.

Release the Antairean Brain Bats!

"talking about how they would partition Iraq's gains after war" and "I tell them: wait and don't hurry because your disappointment will be great and you will only harvest shame and defeat."

Just like Iraqi's - concerned about their enemy's well being...

[Dominic Harr]

Especially considering Saddam's dead!

That fella on the speach today was reading his notes *without glasses*.

Saddam needed coke-bottle glasses to read.

He accused the coalition forces of disrupting power supply in Baghdad and its outskirts by dropping fiberglass on the electric network in the capital and al-Qaddisiya.

This is the part that makes the least sense. I can't even guess what this is supposed to mean.

[Michael Barnes]

Just like liberals, regimes are nuts when they are out of power.

That last batch of LSD was bad, he is having a major reaction.

These guys are really, really sad, they got big cahunas though, real big cahunas, just nothing to back it up with.

The US has carbon filament bombs which ,when detonated, spread carbon filaments over an area. These filaments are electrically conductive, thus they will short out a powerplant or something.

I think now we know what all that white powder we found really was ...

"Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said Iraqis were preparing "non-conventional action...," Friday night and Saturday morning and said "I believe it will be
something very beautiful for those mercenaries."

They're planning for a total surrender tonight using their

jockey shorts as flags. As for the non-conventional action

they ask if we will accept brown flags instead of the

regulatory white ones.

[wideawake]

How would that work on (presumably) insulated material?

This is the part that makes the least sense. I can't even guess what this is supposed to mean.

We have bombs that release clouds of long carbon "threads", which short out electrical equipment when they fall down and drape over adjacent power lines, transformer contacts, etc.

Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said Iraqis were preparing "non-conventional action...,"

Given the 'high moral ground' < /sarcasm> that the Iraqi leadership has demonstated in the past; I read this threat to mean that they will nerve gas Baghdad. I believe that they will intentionally kill as many civilians as possible, and then exclaim "Look, see what you made me do" in an effort to use the USA as a scapegoat. When in truth, IMHO their opinion is that if Saddam can't rule Baghdad, no one will.

I've been wondering what drugs are prevalent in Iraq. A couple weeks ago there was a blurb about their being able to buy prescription drugs over the counter there. If that's true, they could be doing anything since there is also probably illicit drugs as well.

funny what one says,when there is a gun pointed at their head..
