I figure AlJazeera has UBL's "thank you America for surrendering to Islam, now prepare for submission" tape ready to play for Nancy Pelosi tomorrow, should DemoncRATs win today.

I think Sadaam got the message he is doomed unless he stops calling for violence and tells teh Sunnis to make peace. This could be a huge development and a tremendous success for our policy.

I can't see anything resembling benevolence coming out of this man. It'd be nice if it were true, but I am expecting that it is some kind of angle.

Sure. Let's start the party by having you dance a little jig on air. Get the rope.

"I call on all Iraqis, Arabs and Kurds, to forgive, reconcile and shake hands,"

If the USA does it, the rope will be 1"

But let's have the Iraqi's do it and the rope will be 2.5 cm.
