David, Saddam is being insane once again:

Defiant Saddam Says Any U.S. Attack Doomed

story.news.yahoo.com

Here's the dumbest part of the story:

Ordinary Iraqis seemed galvanized by Saddam's speech.

"We are not afraid of America, (U.S. President George W.) Bush or others," Hadi Abbass told Reuters. "We are ready to sacrifice our blood, soul and children for the president."


There have been real reports that Saddam Insane is forcing his own people to say things like this. I remember seeing an interview of an Iraqi-American who was actually in Baghdad during the Gulf War. He confirmed that the anti-American rallies were all staged.

Of course, I'm sure that little fact was "overlooked" by Reuters.
