The Mock Leader who hid behind human shields while his so called
"Fierce Royal Guard" ran like hell from Kuwait has made some announcements for
the world to hear.
Sad Ham Hussein announced that he is doubling to £15,000 the cash he gives the families
of Palestinian suicide bombers.
Sad Ham also defied US threats to strike at Iraq, declaring: "They don't scare
us."
Note that he did not say scare me!!
This loser will be hiding underground disquised as a woman.
The tyrant spoke out as Foreign Secretary Jack Straw told MPs that Iraq posed a
"severe" threat to security - but military action was a "last resort".
Mocking war plans by President Bush and Tony Blair, Saddam told supporters in Baghdad:
"Recent futile threats will not scare your country. It has reached such a level that
threats will not intimidate it."
He denounced US Vice President Dick Cheney's 11-nation Middle East tour to win support for
military action against Iraq as "wicked". And on a bloody day in which 38 died
in the West Bank and Gaza, he showed his contempt for the West by doubling to £15,000 the
cash he gives the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. |

Rectal Thermometer and is

President Bush
has repeatedly warned Saddam that Iraq faces "consequences" if it continues to
ban UN weapons inspectors
In Britain, Mr Straw told the Commons that Iraq represented a "severe threat to
international and regional security as a result of its continuing development of weapons
of mass destruction". There was "overwhelming and compelling
evidence" of such weapons.
Before UN inspectors were thrown out of the country in 1998, he said, they found 4,000
tonnes of chemicals used in weapons production, 610 tonnes used in nerve gas, and 31
chemical weapons munitions. The inspectors must now be allowed to return to do their job
"without obstruction". As MPs of all parties warned against a rush to extend the
war on terror, Mr Straw said military action against Iraq could not be ruled out. But,
faced with a growing Labour rebellion, he added: "I strongly accept you don't take
military action without clear evidence - and, where it is clear, this is a last resort.
"We have to be cautious and ensure the decisions we make have the support of the
international community."
Later, he told a meeting of Labour MPs the threat of attack was being used to force Saddam
to allow inspectors back. Aides said Mr Straw was trying to "reassure"
backbenchers that the Government would not rush in.
Mr Cheney arrived in Jordan yesterday where King Abdullah said a strike on Iraq would have
"dangerous repercussions" on stability and the war on terrorism.
Retired US General Wesley Clark, who oversaw Nato's Kosovo campaign, told Radio Four
yesterday overthrowing Saddam would need "several hundred thousand" troops.
