Saudis starting to think right?

I was reading a bit more about the conspicracy guys rants on the Saddam capture linked from littlegreenfootballs.com, Iwon't post because lfg is depressing, but if you want to be amazed go there and read on this issue.

but eventually I did get to a link that was encouraging. the saudi ambassador thinks we should tell old Europe to fuck off, in fact he can't believe old Europe has the balls to ask:
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satelli...=1071300403077

i do think the word choice "chutzpah" is interesting:

Quote:
Countries that opposed the US decision to invade Iraq have no right to protest US initiatives restricting reconstruction contracts to allies, the Saudi ambassador to the US said Friday.

"It's amazing how people who were doing everything possible to derail the success" of the Iraq war now "feel they have the right" to reconstruction contracts, Prince Bandar Bin Sultan said. "It just takes so much chutzpah."

Leaks, which seem to happen quite regularly. There are plenty of reports online that you can read that tell you at least some of what he has been saying in captivity. I am sure that we aren't hearing everything, but I believe some of it is getting out and is being widely reported.

I'm guessing, and this may be way, way out there in left field, but I'm guessing that it won't be as easy for him to communicate while he is under US control as it was when he was being hidden with the help of supporters who were willing and even eager to spread any messages he wanted to get out.

But then I think about all the stuff we are hearing from the people imprisoned in Guantanamo, and realize I must be wrong. No doubt Diane Sawyer and Tom Brokaw will be interviewing him within the next few days, and showing unedited versions. Hell, there'll probably be Saddam webcam.

Yes, I will have a talk show and rule your dirty land. I will crush you filthy dog Americans like the camel dung that you are!

You fools should have shot me on site! Alive I am more valuable to my people and my Pali pals than I would be dead. I will eat up your tax dollars living high on your hog in captivity and ultimately my Fedayeen will force you to barter me back to my Saudi brothers for a life in paradise like my friend Amin. Meanwhile as long as I am alive the Arab brotherhood of Islamic faithful movement is alive. I smell disaster for your Bush and it stinks.

Think about it, besides my influence over the whole of the Arabs, the timing here is all wrong. The Republican fascists cannot milk me until an election, and at my trial I will have more opportunity to spill the garbanzo beans that no WMDs ever existed and blame Cheney and Hallyburton for all of it. Meanwhile, the attacks will keep coming and coming.

Is that your little American peabrains exploding or did I, the Saddam, just chessmate your little Bush?

As your famous American celebrity heads on the talking shows, like Susan and Tim Sarandon, Alec Baldwin Brothers, Barbara Streisand, Janeane Garafafalalo, and the Clooney already know, W is the real terrorist and you terrorists too, will pay!!!

Unmitigated Good News!

Interesting take. Is there more to embarrass them with? Isn't it an open secret that they were doing bidness with SH the whole time? I guess hearing it from his mouth would be a horse of a different color though. That would be something to see if it plays out how you propose.

Wow, what a great day for the country, but a great day for the admin as well. It's funny, a big reason I dismiss the conspiracy theorists (aside from the general farfetchedness of the idea) is that if the admin wanted to time this for maximum benefit w/r/t the election I would think they'd be more likely to wait until the primaries start. It was pretty amazing to see all the "we got him" signs in the stands at the NFL games today only a few hours after the word got out; if this was next July I would think it would result in an electoral tidal wave for GWB. Maybe it will anyway, esp if they drag OBL out of that cave sometime soon.

The US military truly deserves our thanks and congrats...

Looks like the Saddam was way ahead of me on the timing comment. I've still got a better haircut than he does though.

I'm only reading that book if you pay me.

Or were you recommending the review? Not wanting to think about Chomsky any more than necessary, I skipped it . . . .

Actually in the world of the great Islamic brotherhood of warriors aligned against you American dEvil dogs, my disheveled hair is a warrior’s badge of honor and likely reminds you of the gross inferiority of your own cowardly coifed mane and the attendant failures of your libertine sexualized pop-culture and vapid banal civilization.

It's a fact of the superiority of Islamic Culture and of our great and defiant Civilization reminds you feeble Big MacDonald eating American swine of the gross inferiorrity of their own sub-culture. This same inferiorness incites your doomed to fail jealously motivated hatred and rage of terrorist frenzy over my peoples.

Your own heroine, sex pot political head talker Anne Coulter called for a commissioning of Christian missionaries to evangelize the Islamic world with your sick culture in order to distract us with your sex. Just as your military will fall to our brotherhood of the sons of Allah, so any efforts to bribe the Islamics with the exportation of cowburgers and pornostyle videos will meet violent destruction.

Allah guides us such that we wait not for some burning bush, or parting sea or resurrection of a Christmas baby, rather we will burn your Bush down and take back our gold and francencense and muhrr!

I am pretty sure that the average American guy is more likely to think that Anne has teeth in her vagina than that she is a sex pot.

Nice imitation of an Arab speaking in broken English, though.

SH Al Queda connection

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...portaltop.html

"Iraq's coalition government claims that it has uncovered documentary proof that Mohammed Atta, the al-Qaeda mastermind of the September 11 attacks against the US, was trained in Baghdad by Abu Nidal, the notorious Palestinian terrorist.

Details of Atta's visit to the Iraqi capital in the summer of 2001, just weeks before he launched the most devastating terrorist attack in US history, are contained in a top secret memo written to Saddam Hussein, the then Iraqi president, by Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, the former head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service."
