London-based Al Hayat newspaper: Saddam Hussein is wearing an explosive belt, for use if he is captured by U.S. forces.

They should make sure that the troops that find Saddam, have plenty of cameras to get him exploding in live action if possible. His fellow Arab cowards can then enjoy watching Saddam exploding to pieces over and over again on the television.

I've noticed over time, that when the palis pop their belt, it's not uncommon at all for them to literally, blow their stacks. I've seen a number of Reuter's pics where their heads literally blow off and land in relatively good shape.

Suitable for placing on a stick.

Thank for putting your heads together

ROFLMAO

That's what TOW missles are good for.

He'll just be splatter, but we've got his DNA...it'll be mixed in there somewhere.

I guess Sodamndumb's new theme song will be "I ain't got nobody". (groan)

Tell me the downside of this, please.

What would be poetic is a low-grade ignition that merely cut him in two and cauterized the wounds so that he lingered for several hours.

[GreyWolf]

That's assuming he EVER showers. Arabs I have known don't much.

He's got to be getting pretty ripe by now from being on the run for 3 months. I would think our troops could smell him from a couple of miles away. Just get out the bloodhounds and put 'em on the trail. I can just picture him running through the desert with the hounds baying in the distance (Cool Hand Luke style).

was wounded in left shoulder.......

He should get a medal, a purple heart? no, that might interfere with his Black Heart with clusters.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

He took part in April 7 battle for Baghdad airport, was wounded in left shoulder.

I find that really hard to believe, unless Comical Ali confirms this.

[CyberAnt]

I'm reluctant to believe this - primarily because I believe Saddam is a coward - cowards are not homicide bombers. They pay other people to do it - but they would never do it themselves.

I believe this is "misinformation" to keep our military from eagerly seeking Saddam - thinking they will be blown up with Saddam.

"Will the belt contain a WMD?"
That is crossing many peoples minds.

Powell: Saddam Is 'Piece of Trash' to Be Collected

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday called former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein "a piece of trash waiting to be collected" but declined to say how long it may take U.S. forces to find him.

Powell also told Reuters in an interview he currently sees no reason for the United States to give up the authority it and Britain have as "occupying powers" in Iraq despite demands by some nations, notably France, that the United Nations play a central role.

Ooooops?

[Publius6961]

Did you really say what I read?

I can deal with creative writing in the appropiate context, but many here at FR can't.

Good luck.

[Publius6961]

But then the human rights folks would be all over us...

I know you meant "animal rights", but I'll cut you some slack here...

[Preech1]

I was thinking the same thing...we ought to ask the Israeli's about their solution to bomb belts...I don't think that most of the "Work Accidents" the pali's have are really accidents, I think the IDF has finally figured out the answer to the age old question immortalized by Dan Rather..."What's the frequency, Kenneth?"

boom

[XHogPilot]

URGENT:
Hey, Saddam, they've found you! They're ready to come through the door! Quick, blow yourself up. PLEASE!

[justshutupandtakeit]

That was very similiar to my fantasy except in mine Walter Payton catches a pass and heads around end directly at Deion. Walter never tried to avoid a collision and after he whacked Sanders that might have been the end of it.

Saddam Dead - Practical Joke Goes Arwy

Informants say that Saddam has died from complications due to "premature explosivation" of his suicide belt. It seems that two bored security guards had obtained access to a cache of U.S. military uniforms stolen in early July.

It seems that the two were trying on the uniforms when Saddam woke up from an afternoon nap. Reports say that the still groggy Saddam shouted "Death to the infidels" immediately before detonating the 15 kg of explosives. The two guards were severely injured.

It is not known what the ulimate purpose of the stolen uniforms was. Sources say that it is doubtful that the injured guards will receive any of the $25 million (U.S. $) reward. However, it is reported that donations are being taken for a merit certificate suitable for framing for each quard.
