BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) --Saddam Hussein and his sons were shocked at their defeat by U.S.-led forces and met secretly after the fall of Baghdad to plan a guerrilla resistance, according to a former bodyguard for Uday Hussein.

The bodyguard, who called himself Abu Tiba, was interviewed by Newsday reporter Matthew McAllester in Iraq shortly after his boss was killed Tuesday, according to the U.S. military, along with his brother, Qusay Hussein, by U.S. forces in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.

"...finding Americans in our country so that the Jews can take control of Iraq makes me wish I had stayed to fight, to resist and to be a martyr for my country."
These people think EVERYTHING is about THE JEWS!!! What fools.

The Jew thing is likely Saddam's intention of taking over Palestine and eventually annihilating Israel. I think it was his dream. He was "Hitler" in many ways.

>> "Saddam apparently slapped his forehead as if it hadn't occurred to him that this could be happening and he said 'What can I say? I've been betrayed by my commanders and I hope that we will fix everything and we will be back in power,'" the reporter recounted.

"Oi Vey" he says.

>>>>>>>>The set up for that meeting was a Captian & he was killed in the attack>>>>>> If the Captain was the one who set up Saddam would he have waited at the place where he knew the bombs were going to fall? What am I missing here?

Saddam was recently spotted behind the counter at the Dunkin Donuts on North Avenue.

"an old woman"? Geeze... I'm going to sue. I can't believe CNN and Newsday are engageing in ageism. What difference does it make whether the woman was old, young, a babe or a hag? Why did CNN and Newsday label this woman? I demand justice. I demand old woman reparations. And, who are CNN and Newsday to determine when a woman is old? Is there a lawyer in the house?

Saddam was surprised that Baghdad fell?? If your army runs when they see a big friggin' convoy that's going to annihilate them, you ain't gonna win. Of course, he never thought we'd come at all.

Planning the resistance?? Yeh, right. There are just a lot of crazy arabs that think like the homicide bombers of Hamas. It's a game to them. They don't care if they kill their people or the americans...Saddam mentality...Kill all the good people you can.

I think the story is that Saddam had the "traitor" killed after the hit.

I believe you are missing the fact that Saddam had him killed after the bomb fell.

The bodyguard's father, who served as a protector of Saddam Hussein, said the deaths probably are hitting the former leader hard.

"If he had a weapon that would do it he would destroy all of Iraq for his sons," Abu Jassim told McAllester. "He will be more determined to avenge them now."

Let's hope this part, at least, is true. It may make Saddam do something stupid, such that he gets caught.

Paul Wolfowitz, NY Jew and 100% American patriot, is the Arabs worst nightmare. The Arab conspiracy theories are not entirely off. Lesson to the world: do not piss off the NY Jews by flying jets into NY skyscrapers.

It's time to set the world straight. If the citizens of the world believe the common American is in the least interested in them or their culture, beyond the possibility of visiting their countries on vacation or exploring their way of life beyond cultural curiosity, they are sadly mistaken. While I have always supported charities who feed the hungry or care for the poor, I have absolutely no interest in what they do or how they do it.

I'm sick of other nationalities giving us a ration of poop over our insensitivity! I can only imagine how careful of our faith, beliefs and mores they would be if the situation were reversed. Our sons and daughters are over their due to their mismanagement, uneducated, greedy, miserable, inept little leaders who have abused power, couldn't solve a difference of opinion without a gun or vehicle to torture and maim. I have no desire whatsoever to exchange ideas with a pinhead whose idea of heaven is hatched in his genitals. 72 virgins, my ARSE! I hope they're all eternally pre-menstrual.

Additionally, I appreciate the opinions of those who are against the war. I dare say there isn't an American who is in favor of war. We have a good life. We should. We've worked damned hard for it. I want our sons and daughters home -- safe, sound and enjoying the lives we planned for them, but that's not possible. Why? Because some moronic, adle-brained pseudo-intellectuals decided to attack America due to the chronic failure of the leaders of their country to act in the best interests of their people. God forbid these fools should be given to the self-examination we've all been forced to stomach every day.

I would give anything to never have to deal with the Germans, French, Iraquis, Saudis, Israelies, Chinese, Koreans, Pacquis, Cubans, etc., etc., but it is unrealistic to think they could just get on with their lives and let us live ours. I don't give a rat's behind what they believe. It has no bearing on my life beyond aggravation. I don't want their land, their resources or their culture. I don't want them to think anymore about us than I do about them.

If we can trade goods with them -- fine, but I don't have any need to embrace anymore than what they can offer me in the way of exported products. They can keep the rest of the crap they seem to thrive on.
