Fox News just reported that Iraqi media has given a statement that Saddam (or Saddam's doppelganger) will soon make a historic speech.

The Syrians are claiming we killed 5 civilians in a bus....

Probably generals fleeing Iraq.

[Timesink]

Christiane Amanapour says he looks really rested now! She is talking with Skeletor on CNN.

James Carville?

[Salamander]

Or maybe his cable is "out"....;)

[stlnative]

You watch this tape will be from 1991 and we probably already have a copy of in the us goverment archives.

Did he really mention the 51st Division - the first to go French? If so, that nails it.

Did anyone notice Saddam just praised the Generla (by name) of the 51st (whatever) - The same general that surrendered on the second day!!!?

I don't believe a soul here believes he is still alive now (though I suppose he could be comatose somewhere). But the real question is, what will *his* people believe. It seems obvious to us that he's incapacitated -- but will the Iraqi's come to so easily to the same conclusion. If they were rational, I'd say yes ... but these are the same people who were convinced last time that we were literally going to eat them -- remember?

[It's me]

Who will take her seriously anymore? This is ridiculous! Why is she even on there?

[nutmeg]

I doubt it - I'll bet he's covered his legs with transdermal caffeine patches.

LOL! Hey, I could use some of those... I could FReep for 24 hours nonstop!

Seriously... I have to get some sleep. 3:50AM here on the east coast. 'Night all!

PS: Saddam is DEAD, Christiane!!!

Well we have learned that the Chinese laundry is still in operation.

[Political Junkie Too]

They'll catch on that he's assumed room temperature when they realize they're watching recycled tapes.

This will soon take on the proportions of SNL's "Francisco Franco is still dead!" parody.

[whadizit]

Historic speech? Naaaaaahhhhhh

[unspun]

They did cut the tape before it showed Saddam blowed up. Sorry, Schmenge brothers!

[Salamander]

I think she's possibly already surpassed her, in terms of volume.
Jane was only "on the scene" briefly.
How long has Christiane been "broad" casting?

[MJY1288]

All I can say is that these bafoons in Iraq are not informed of what's going on in the battlefield

[ArneFufkin]

Wait until he finds out that Bin Laden was with his "virgins" after his entrance to heaven 16 months ago! ;^)

[Political Junkie Too]

He doesn't take any crap and he is NOT pc by any means.

Is he the guy who snickered and mumbled something inappropriate the other night when Laurie Dhue mentioned that she did some reporting from a submarine?

Commander Of Iraqi 51St Division Denies Surrender On TV

DOHA, March 23 (IslamOnlione.net & News Agencies) – Appearing on Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel, an Iraqi commander near the southern city of Basra said Sunday, March 23, that his division, which Washington earlier claimed had surrendered, would continue to resist U.S. and British forces.

I believe the real smoking gun is not mentioning the POWs.
