Tales of the Tyrant

What does Saddam Hussein see in himself that no one else in the world seems to see? The answer is perhaps best revealed by the intimate details of the Iraqi leader's daily life

Shakhsuh (His Person)

Today is a day in the Grand Battle, the immortal Mother of All Battles. It is a glorious and a splendid day on the part of the self-respecting people of Iraq and their history, and it is the beginning of the great shame for those who ignited its fire on the other part. It is the first day on which the vast military phase of that battle started. Or rather, it is the first day of that battle, since Allah decreed that the Mother of All Battles continue till this day.

—Saddam Hussein, in a televised address to the Iraqi people, January 17, 2002

Today is "Kuwaiti Independence Day", a full-blown holiday. They celebrated it last night as yesterday is today in that part of the world. Anyone see any pictures anywhere on the main broadcast networks OR on cable of the millions of Kuwaitis who took to the streets waving both Kuwait and US flags?

But they fall over themselves to be the first to show any anti-war protest anywhere, or any anti-US demonstartion anywhere
