<Arabs are as stupid as you are> Is that an unintended compliment?

You were wrong Pot calling the kettle Black ?? You are on record on this thread saying "no war in March". I will not descend to use the language you used on another thread, but I guess that tells you what I think of your communication and prediction capabilities.

I wish you had access to Lexis-Nexis so you could prove this to yourself, but if you go back and read the news from the 1991 Gulf War, Saddam was trying to enflame Arab opinion against the US in favor of himself by drawing a connection to Israel/Palestine, and the interesting thing is that it didn't work then. My perception is that it doesn't appear to be working now, either. Why? Because the US has the tacit support - as I (and others) predicted - of most Arab countries - Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Oman, Yemen, and also non-Arab Muslim countries, including Turkey (admittedly not as much as we would like.) Saddam is the turd in the punch bowl. Nobody is going to shed a tear over him.
