#1 Hello Bulldog,

There is no question that Turkish troops will stay for a while in Northern Iraq to disarm the Kurdish militias, something like 1991 they wonât let repeat again. Local forces like the KDP of Massoud Barzani wonât like that obviously since their power is established on a militia force, they like to keep those weapons.
I think there have been drawn already plans by the US also to disarm all the militia, how sooner they are disarmed, the less the chance of a civil war.

#2 I read in some media reports of Dan Rather (CBS) proposing a live discussion on tv by Bush and Saddam, Bush declined while Saddam was willing. Does anybody know more about this CBS stunt it would be very interesting, I would love to see these two on a live discussion.

#3 Murat, I like to see such a debate myself. We could hold it in the lovely town of Leavenworth, Kansas. I sure Mr. Hussein will love his stay there.

#4 I'm reasonably certain Sammy would rather avoid the weather in Kansas right now. He'd much prefer a warm Carribean resort.

#5 Hi Murat!

I'll bet Saddam's busy making his peace with Allah, trying to negotiate upwards from 72 doe-eyed virgins. Maybe he's attempted to conceal his sins from the almighty too. Hang on, what constitutes a sin in export-strength islam again?

I'd rather see Bush/Blair vs Saddam/Chiraq, tag teams.

#6 YES!!! Bush/Blair v. Saddam/Chiraq!!! Pay-per-view special. Don King could promote this one. What would be the venue?
