Maybe it's a belated Xmas gift from Dubya to Poppy. I can imagine Dubya saying, 'I got him for you pops.'

Dubya did, after all, say that he was real pissed off that Saddam tried to kill his Dad.

So there.

That man tried to kill my dad, says Bush

President Bush has publicly condemned Saddam Hussein as the man "that tried to kill my dad".

Mr Bush disclosed his personal reasons for hating the Iraqi leader during a Republican fundraising event in Texas.

Saddam is accused of trying to kill the first President Bush with a car bomb in Kuwait in 1993. The plot was frustrated, but triggered a United States missile strike on intelligence buildings in Baghdad.

Mr Bush's comments formed part of an attempt to portray Saddam as a viscerally anti-US menace, whose overthrow is a patriotic duty for Americans of all political persuasions, in which other countries are only side-players.

The high risk strategy carries the danger of fuelling talk that Mr Bush's campaign for regime change in Baghdad is driven by a desire to finish the job left undone by his father at the end of the Gulf war.

• Three Democratic congressmen, travelling on their own initiative, arrived in Baghdad yesterday to plead for United Nations weapons inspectors to be given unfettered access to suspected sites, saying they wanted the crisis "peacefully and diplomatically resolved".
