BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) chaired a meeting of top military aides and government ministers, state television reported.
The meeting was attended by Saddam's son Qussay, who heads the elite Republican Guard, as well as Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan and Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz, it said.
Defense Minister Sultan Hashim, Information Minister Mohamad Said al-Sahhaf, Trade Minister Mohamad Mehdi Saleh and interim Oil Minister Amer Rashid were also shown sitting around the table.
The broadcast showed Saddam wearing an army sweater over military fatigues but gave no details on the meeting.
Saddam was last shown in public when he appeared on Monday on state television while meeting an official of the ruling Baath party, hours after appearing on the channel to read a speech vowing that "victory is near."
The broadcasts have indicated that Saddam is still alive amid initial rumours that he had been killed or seriously injured in the first bombing raids on Baghdad last Thursday.

The fact that no video produced since this war began has referenced specific events or times is proof enough for me...he's either dead or incapacitated.

Maybe Saddam would have been more convincing if he had pre-recorded a tape bosting about 'POW's'
To: Smogger
The President took him out hour one, along with his sons.

Defense Minister Sultan Hashim, Information Minister Mohamad Said al-Sahhaf, Trade Minister Mohamad Mehdi Saleh and interim Oil Minister Amer Rashid were also shown sitting around the table. This thing had to be fabricated if Tom Daschle wasn't in attendance.

Why had OBL been so silent on this war?
He's the chattiest malcontent since Bill Clinton, and yet he hasn't said a word. Wonder why?

"...Right now we've got stuff on that looks like regular Iraqi TV, but when it comes time we're going to play mind games..."Maybe we can show them those stupid Carrot Top phone commercials! I'm all for sharing.

What I think happened is that we're transmitting now. Right now we've got stuff on that looks like regular Iraqi TV, but when it comes time we're going to play mind games and show stuff that slowly becomes more and more favorable to the US until eventually we broadcast that Sadaam has died or something like that. I'm all for taking a little tin-foil to the dome, but you guys put that sh*t on so tight its cutting of circulation to your brain.

He's dead, but it serves no purpose to put this information out there at this moment. Here we go with the Bush and the CIA don't want you to know tin-foil conspiracy bs again. If the knew one way or another they would tell us. I think i'm going to hurl.
