There is one thing which might save Saddam's "career."

If he can find Osama bin Laden and promptly turns him in to the F.B.I. --- Saddam had two weeks to get it done.

After spending almost three hours in his presence, one got the sense that his mind is turning furiously as he tries to discover a way out of his corner.

Err...How about giving up the WMD? Seems simple enough.

A TRIBUTE TO GUNGA DAN by SADDAM
(Apologies to Kipling)

Infidels talk o' gin an' beer
When quartered safe away out 'ere
An' you're sent to penny-fights like Blixen's got it;
But if it really comes to slaughter
I give no mercy nor qua'ter,
An you'll lick my bloomin' boots 'cause I comand it.
Now in I-raq's sunny clime,
Where I like to spend my time
A-servin' m'self, an tyranny sublime,
Of all my black-faced crew
The cravenest man I knew
Was our journalistic bootlick, Gunga Dan

The uniform 'e wore
Was nothin' much before,
An' rather less than 'arf o' that behind
'is safari coat near rags
An' CBS camera bags
Was all the field equipment 'e could find.
Where sweatin' troopers lay
In bunkers' through the day
Gunga Dan learned Islamic vice t'would make your eyeballs crawl,
Saddam's Guards shouted "Harry by!"
Till their throats were bricky-dry
Then whipped 'im 'till 'e serviced them all.

I shan't forget the night
When I was hidin' before the fight
With bullets soon whistlin' where my head would 'a' been
I was fumin' fit to burst,
But the man that spied me first
Was our good old grinnin', gruntin' Gunga Dan.
'E soothed my weary 'ead,
Then I shagged him till 'e bled,
An' 'e guv me 'arf-an-hour - prime time;
It was maudlin' and it stunk,
But of all the questions I've dunked
I'm gratefullest to ones from Gunga Dan

'E carried me away
Where the French newsman lay,
An' his critics come an' drilled the beggar clean.
'E put me safe aside,
An' just before 'is career died:
"I 'ope you liked m'oral skills" sez Gunga Dan.
So I'll meet 'im later on
In the place where 'e is gone
Where it's always S&M and no canteen;
'E'll be kneelin' on the coals
A interviewin' pore damned souls
An I'll get some comfort in Hell from Gunga Dan!

Rather should ask himself how he got the exclusive: By being the worst Quisling in the American media. With people like Jennings, Brokaw, Arnett etc. as the competition, that's really saything something.

To relate Saddam to Saladin does a great disservice to the later. Saladin, controlled Egypt and Syria (Saladin, the sultan of Egypt, Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia), and drove the European Crusaders out of Jerusalem. Saladin was a brilliant leader and a merciful victor. Saladin was a Kurd, born in Tikrit, Iraq. Dan Rather should get his facts straight - even Saddam would likely object to being tossed in with the Kurds, many of whom he destroyed with WMD (chemical). And Saddam is neither a brilliant leader nor a merciful victor.

Man! I would expect this kind of heart-thumping drivel from a teenager girl writing about her rock idol. What a sick and twisted a$$-kiss Rather is. Disgusting!

Geez, who does this idiot savant [IE: "liberal"] figger himself to be?

Bloody Hong Kong-Maggie Thatcher, maybe?

As in: [EG]

["One supposes one's son may have profited just a little from one's having sold one's Once-FRee-British Hong Kong's Millions of Subjects into one's and one's sons and one's cabinet's "chinese" masters' medieval surfdom."]

Why, next thing you know the moronic mass-murdering-mongrel-bastard-dictator appeasing lunatic left-wing fringe lickspittle will be addressing US in the "royal 'We.'"

Rather is a TRAITOR!
