[2dogs]

Maybe Saddam should go first......................well that seems unlikely- what about this threat? How likely do you think it is that the Iraqi's have compatriots here ready to strike?

SADDAM: WE WILL WIN BY SUICIDE


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



February 2, 2003 -- Iraq will unleash "thousands" of suicide attackers against the United States if American troops invade, one of Saddam Hussein's top stooges is boasting.
Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said in a German magazine interview yesterday that Iraq's ability to withstand U.S. military might was "unlimited" and that American ground troops would face tough resistance.

"We have no long-range missiles or bomber squadrons, but we will deploy thousands of suicide attackers," Ramadan told the weekly Der Spiegel. "These are our new weapons, and they will be used not only in Iraq."

Other Arab countries would help defend Iraq in case of war, inflaming the entire Middle East, he said. "This part of the world will become a sea of resistance and danger for the Americans." ......................................................

Not very likely.

When pressure by other people is on, people will commit and train to do all kinds of things. When they're on their own, they start to think for themselves and break training.

I believe that was the Japanese plan, too.

Didn't work real well, IIRC...

Darn...

When I read the topic, I was hoping Madman Hussien was promising to publicly off himself....

While suicide may be helpful, Sadaam has trained pilots in flying aircraft loaded with chemical and biologics into things like ships and the like. The tactic may be a bit iffy going after the fleet(s) but is sure to cause some hearburn if he heads into Israel.

Israel is taking the joker dead serious.

If the report is true, I'd say Saddam is well on the way to helping US win the war.

we will deploy thousands of suicide attackers

Saddam, Saddam, Saddam...that would just be God working his magic and thinning the culls from the herd. Sheesh! You would be the kind to try to hog all of the credit.

P.S. Saddam, the Japanese Empire used to give their pilots a half-tank of gas and a one-way map. Hope that helps.

and that American ground troops would face tough resistance

Yeah... Just like last time, right??? Just walk right out there, drop your weapon, and throw your hands up in the air. They are happy to get caught. At least they will have a proper place to sleep and get three squares a day as POWs.

"Darwin Award"...

He's a smart one, he is. Think this over. What is Bush's argument for his proposed invasion?

Bush: "Imagine those 19 suicide hijackers with a suitcase full of anthrax--or a nuclear weapon."

Anti-War Americans: "There is no evidence that Hussein or Iraq are in any way connected to Al Queda or other terrorist organizations. You're crazy--that'll never happen! There are no Iraqi suicide bomber proxies in the U.S!"

Iraqi Officials: "Not so fast, decadent American Peaceniks! We do TOO have suicide bombers, and we're not afraid to use them! Ree HAW! Oh, wait. . . . could I rephrase that?"

 

[Atticus]

It is ironic that the people who claim there is no "smoking gun" or justification for war, are the same ones that warn of massive US casualties from bio/chem warfare. Or they say," He won't use them unless we attack." God bless em.

At least the Bush's have a sense of humor. Sr. used to call Hussein: Sadamn. W. has been known to call him Sodom.

Wait a minute....since when did Skunkabilly join the government of Iraq ????

I'm not feeling good about going into downtown Baghdad, it's going to be messy. BUT, I'm even less comfortable with Saddas staying in power, having the sanctions lifted....and then re-building his NBC programs.

Godspeed to those going in.

Carry this out to its logical conclusion...

"we will win by using suicide squads, if it takes every last Iraqi to do it!"
Sounds good to me.
