#1 Wow! Great speech. I think Al-Sahhaf is really coming into form. I look forward to seeing him on Larry King once this is all over.

#2 In all seriousness - does anyone know how many 'jihads' are floating out there - even a ballpark figure? Its ridiculous!!!

#3 This guy doesnt rate as an "A-Team" player, he doesnt even have a mustache.

Get a load of the schnozz on that guy!, he looks like Karl Malden!

#6 There's one piece of evidence which says Saddam is still alive:
The Iraqi military keeps charging into the KZ south of Baghdad. An intelligent military commander would recognize it for what it was.

#7 Saddam may very well be taking that eternal dirt-bath. Even if true, his plan is still in effect. Those left in Baghdad have much blood on their hands and they have every incentive to carry on the fight (have others do it for them) in hopes of saving their hides. They'll hold on until the last moment, then the rats will bolt. It's Berlin '45 all over again.

#8 Its clear what the Iraqi strategy is: They are waiting for the Coalition to run out of bombs, missiles, and bullets! It's a brilliant strategy when you think about it. Right after we run out of ammo, whoosh--we are in BIG trouble!

#9 Of course, we've already captured enough weapons and ammo to supply our entire army (not just what's in Iraq) for two years, so I think sadsack's generals are engaging in some very heavy dreaming. Dreams don't win wars. These donuts have a very unpleasant future ahead of them.

#10 Clearly these lame ass speeches are the result of too much time spent with the 72 virgins. No quality time to create coherent prose. Or his NoKor speechwriter just had triplets.
