Iraq
Saddam humiliation may fire resistance
2003-12-15
The humiliating images of Saddam Hussein's capture by US forces risk increasing Arab support for the Iraqi resistance and sharpening their appetite for revenge™, analysts said on Monday.
Is there anything that doesn't sharpen the Arabs' appetite for Dire Revenge™?
"I felt extremely humiliated," said Egyptian writer Sayyid Nassar, who interviewed Saddam three weeks before the US-led invasion of Iraq on 20 March. "I felt it was not only a humiliation of Arabs but of all humanity. By shaving his beard, a symbol of virility in Iraq and in the Arab world, the Americans committed an act that symbolizes humiliation in our region, where getting shaved by one's enemy means robbing him of his will."
Ohfergawdsake. Every once in awhile one of these goobers makes a statement that results in me blowing stuff out my nose. It's actually easier to clean up if you were drinking something at the time...
"It's also a humiliation for all Arab leaders and a message telling them that he who does not enter the poultry yard of the Americans will experience the same fate," he said.
We're running a chicken yard now? Perhaps Michael Moore will add Perdue to his list of companies profiteering from Iraq...
Saddam's arrest "will not destroy the Iraqi resistance against the US occupier," and will encourage "feelings of Arab solidarity with the Iraqi fighters," he predicted. "On the contrary, the resistance will grow and change shape."
"Yes. It's the Sta-Puft Marshmallow resistance."

Well, that is good. Very good. You are getting the message, Sayyid. You will get the message again and again until you learn some lesson, or you just go away. We are not going away. Get over your humiliation and get a life, and you may get inspired to uplift yourself out of the physical, mental, and spiritual shithole you currently find yourself in. Good luck.

You are today's winner of the "blow-yourself-up-at-home" consolation game. And thank you for playing...idiot!

#10  Saddam humiliated = more Arab resistance
Saddam fighting like a man = more Arab resistance

Arab resistance? Digging more holes in the ground or what?

#8  Woe is us. I'm going to the gates of Baghdad and committing suicide, and then setting my stomach on fire. We're all doomed. Oh, this hopeless quagmire, it's even worse than Vietnam.

Hmmm, I wonder how many al jizz-wads saddam is going to give up under questioning? It'd be a real shame if some of those terrorist press agents started developing extra holes in their heads.

Good! You and others of your ilk have plenty to be humiliated about. Get used to it, cupcake.

Want to stop feeling humiliated? GROW UP!

Asshole.

#6  Seems to me to be a call by AlJizz for increased
resistance terrorism by jihadis. And they're still on the air because....?

#5  The "ace-in-the-hole" humuliated himself. We just provided the stage.

I have to admit for a moment I felt a twing of pity for the guy, but then remembered he's just a rat-bastard what deserves to die.

#4  Wah, f***ing wah. If he'd gone down guns blazing in glory he would have inspired them. If he'd been dragged out of the hole by his scrotum wailing like a baby he'd have inspired them. If he'd been martyred and splattered on a palace wall by a CBU he'd have inspired them.

What a joke. Nothing to see here!

Well he must of been pretty verile prior to the fall of Bahgdad, even with out his wiskers. The Arabs should of paid attention to what happened to the Argies in the Falklands. If you want to play in the big time you better have your bags packed for when you get sent back down. Its not just about fire power and technology. Its about training, discipline and motivation.
