The oil minister is known as "Missile Man"? Sheesh, even the people there have dual purposes.

JUST HEARD ON FOX, THIS IS NOT DR. GERM BUT ANOTHER WOMAN. MRS ANTHRAX

[AppyPappy]

They will torture her by threatening to not care about HER needs.

Moderator: Please change title of the thread, as the captured woman is "MRS. ANTHRAX", not "Dr. Germ" as the US media is mistakenly saying.

It creates some confusion.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Also as UK media, like "Sky" is also mistakenly reporting.

Repeat: Dr. Huda Ammash (female), taken into custody today in Iraq, is "MRS. ANTHRAX".

"Dr. Germ" is somebody different alltogether.

I heard these religious NUTS have taken an oath of silence on the Koran!

Actually, the Baathist regime was secular in practice. The appeals to religion such as putting an Islamic inscription on the national flag were resorted to only after their military fortunes went south after Kuwait and they needed all the support they could get from all sources, including the religious nut cases.

It was analogous to the Soviet Union's re-discovery of "Mother Russia" when their military fortunes went south during World War II.

The true religious fanatics that travelled from the rest of the Middle East to wage suicide attack Holy War against the American infidels were quite disillusioned. When they arrived in Iraq, they discovered that the less-than-fervent Iraqis were willing to fight the American infidels down to the last Syrian suicide attacker but were not all that eager to die for Allah themselves.

Just introduce Dr. Anthrax to Dr. Sodium Ammatal, she'll be singing like a freakin' canary. (sodium ammatal is much more effective than sodium pentathal)

[Geezerette]

How about the "truth serum" drugs, like sodium pentathol (sp?)? If they dose her up, won't she talk whether she wants to or not??

While not Dr. Germ this one is in the deck and is the five of hearts.

[rabidralph]

Mrs. Anthrax, in the lab, with a bunsen burner. or
Dr. Germ, in the Conservatory, with a test tube.

[zarf]

Give the bitch 10 minutes with the NOW crowd and she'll caugh up the beans in 15.

[arielb]

Rihab Taha is Dr. Germ

[garyhope]

Me, I'm kinda looking forward to the surrender or capture of Ms. Bigones Hooters.

[Marysecretary]

That IS good news!

[dead]

That would be "Dr Germ", married to Mr al-Ubaydi the ex-oil minister ("Missile Man").

I believe Mrs. Anthrax is married to Mister Potatohead.

Chemical Ali was married to Aunt Jemima, I think. Or Betty Crocker.

[Marysecretary]

Germaine?

U.S. forces have taken into custody another of the most-wanted Iraqi fugitives, Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash, knowledgeable about weapons programs under toppled President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government, a defense official said on May 5, 2003. The official said Ammash was a scientist involved in Saddam's weapons of mass destruction program. ( U.S. Central Command via Reuters )

Chemical Ali was married to Aunt Jemima, I think. Or Betty Crocker.

That's Betty Cracker, of the famed musical duo Jemima and Cracker. Multi-cultural racists with a beat.
