Time for W. and Saddam to break out the lightsabers?

Kudos to the Iraqis for retaining a sense of humour.

'Baghdad, Iraq - United States President George Bush should fight a duel with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein instead of going to war and making all of Iraq suffer, Saddam's vice-president said in an interview on Thursday.'

The guy's probably just a big 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood' fan. Makes me miss Dan Quayle, though.

The link is troublesome (works occasionally?). Here's another: duel

As a lot of people have noted, most Government policy in the UK and US is being decided not only by people who have no war experience but who deliberately got out of fighting when it was their time to be called. If Bush was leading the charge in to Bagdad, if he were willing to risk dying for his ideals, rather than sending other peoples kids to do it, I'd actually have some respecte for the guy.

And that goes for Blair too.

But of course they can't do that - I think Richard III was the last reigning monarch to head up an army in England. Everyone since then has argued 'but if I get killed, who'll water the plants?'
I'd much rather see them play scrabble. Odds on Bush being the first to toss the board, shouting 'Fuck this, I'm going down the pub!' - 2-1 on - any takers? 10-1 on Saddam not being able to spell 'inspectors'!
I'm afraid I can only go to evens on the word 'oil' being used at some point.

Do you realize how foolhardy it is to challenge an Iraqi to Scrabble?
All the good non-'u' 'q' words are Arabic!!

Grant, stop acknowledging there's a language other than English! You know it just encourages those nasty foreigners!

You're shi'ite and you know you are, as they say.

How do you say, "You sank my battleship!" in Arabic?
