| Opposition leader sez Sammy's ripe fruit... |

| Iraq's military — including the elite Republican Guard — is "ready to rise up" against Saddam Hussein, an Iraqi opposition leader told reporters Saturday after speaking with top U.S. officials. Sharif Ali Bin Al Hussein, of the Constitutional Monarchy Movement, said he would tell the Iraqi people that "their liberation is finally, God willing, going to happen soon." Okay. Let's see you do it... "There is nobody left in Iraq who believes in Saddam Hussein," bin Al Hussein said. "They only fear his apparatus of terror. With the help of the United States, that apparatus of terror can be dismantled. [He] is very weak." Starting with the Mukhabarat, then the Republican Guard, then the Ba'ath Party apparatus, then the Tikriti mafia... Bin Al Hussein and representatives of five other opposition groups spoke Saturday in a video teleconference with Vice President Dick Cheney, who was at his home in Jackson, Wyoming, then face-to-face with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in Washington. Guess they must have worked something out. It'll be interesting to see what happens next... |
