| President Saddam Hussein vowed yesterday to kill one million enemy soldiers if they tried to take Baghdad but offered to cooperate with the UN disarmament process after inviting the chief UN weapons inspectors back to Iraq. "The enemy will not enter Baghdads suburbs because he will die. Even if they send a million soldiers, our boys will kill them," Saddam told senior military aides. "The enemy will land in remote regions and film it," the Iraqi strongman said, according to reports released to the official press. We're going to fake it, and they're going to kill a million of us. Quick, Ethel! My pills! Saddam charged that the enemy media will then start saying that they are at some distance from Ramadi (west of Baghdad) or somewhere else and now on its way to invade this or that city. This is how they are going to put on their show, he added. Was it good for you, too, darling? As Washington presses the UN Security Council to authorize war, the press said Saddam had reviewed with top aides, including Defense Minister Sultan Hashem and son Qussay, strategies to defeat an enemy landing while limiting Iraqi losses. And how do they intend to do that? Iraq also threatened suicide attacks. Suicide attacks are our new weapons, Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan told the German news magazine Der Spiegel, adding: The whole region will be set ablaze. This part of the world will become a sea of resistance and danger for Americans. Neighboring countries hosting US troops would be especially singled out, Ramadan said. That makes sense. Not much sense, but sense. The best way to limit Iraqi losses is to have the Iraqis blow themselves up... |

| #7 If George W. Bush wasn't constrained by the rules of international diplomacy and domestic political considerations, I'd love to hear him thunder to Congress, "We are prepared to sacrifice 20 Million US dead to kill Hussein!!!" The Iraqis would crap their pants!!! |

| #5 "vowed yesterday to kill one million enemy soldiers" Hiding some WMD are you, you little devil! "our boys will kill them" Sammy's itchin' to join Slobo at The Hague (or wherever the trial is) for using child soldiers. "Suicide attacks are our new weapons" Yes I see, strapping explosives to your citizens, except here's the kicker: the commanders hold the remote detonator! ...er, that's not called suicide. |

| #4 Saddam (or his English language propaganda folks) needs to take some lessons from North Korea on the correct synax and vernacular for their rants. Its a global market and competition is cutthroat (pardon the pun.......). |

| #3 He's hoping his people will discount news reports of total collapse during the war and fight until the last man for Saddam. Makes as much sense as any of his other military statements. |

| #2 He called the last one "Mother of All Battles". I guess this one will be "Capricorn One of All Battles". Wonder if it will get its own mosque? |
