In an interview with CBS anchor Dan Rather, Mr. Hussein said he envisioned a live debate with Mr. Bush along the lines of those in a U.S. presidential campaign, CBS said on its Web site.
So who would he be on the ticket with? Gephardt? Sharpton? ...
What a JOKE ! BOTH SADdam and Dan Blather. Let's Roll !!
I have to give it to Saddam, he is playing the left-wing in this country like a fiddle. Wait until Blather sees Saddam's arsenal of chemical weapons that he unleashes if the war starts (where are those 3 ships that left Iraqi port a few months ago?). Only then will this IDIOT realize that he was/is complicit in Saddam's little puppet show. Maybe then, he can go on the Late Show and cry with David Letterman, you little wus!
Rather can get closers to Saddam than his own military officers!
. . . because Saddam has exactly the same system used so effectively be Clinton--pettifoggery. Interminable argumentation designed not to resolve but to extend debate.My instinct during the Gulf War was that GHW Bush needed to get into an M1-A1 Abrams tank and challenge Saddam, mano a mano. It's a second guess now to say that that would have been quite safe--and to point out the loss of face Saddam would have endured had he declined.
It will be broadcast by the front-line reporters when we go in...
1. Dan Rather knew the location of Saddam Hussein.
2. Or, he knew electronic signals would have given away the location.
If he were a patriot, he would have informed our government/military. A few well placed missiles could have taken out the cancer and prevented an entire war.
How to decide who wins? Let the Iraqi people vote the winner, with voting supervised by Nobel Laureate Jimmy Carter, backed up by US military.
What an upsurdity! A dictator touting a desire to practice one of the great symbols of democracy....debating---which is nothing more than an exchange of ideas between free thinking people!
While driving home from a meeting last night I heard this being discussed on talk radio last night and he two host of whatever show was on made a good point. Why don't they play horseshoes to determine a winner, instead of debating? Or Rock, Scissors, Paper? Any president up for tic, tac, toe?
Sounds like the range issue will be used by France. Chirac will likely say the missles are OK and no UN action is needed. I can just hear the worm speak now....
