American Commander: Saddam in Good Health
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - An imprisoned Saddam Hussein is in good health, the commander of U.S. forces said Thursday without offering further details on the former Iraqi leaderâs confinement. "Health is good, no issues," Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez said. "Heâs in good health."And letâs keep him that way, too. I want him in perfect health the day the Iraqi government puts a rope around his neck. Romans knew how to do this. A generalâs triumph (parade to honor him at home after a big victory) always had a lot of pagaentry. Among the various things paraded about was the captured general. He was always well-fed, well-dressed, etc., so that the Roman citizenry could see that their boy defeated a worthy opponent. Just what we want with Saddam; let the Arab world see him at his trial and then his hanging. Posted by: Steve White 2004-02-27 |
