#1 He's right. The Gates of Hell will open, but only to admit the Syrian Baathists.

#2 Georgey Patton, the "most feared Allied Commander on all fronts" by the Germans during WW2, had a famed armored div surnamed "HELL ON WHEELS" - the Allies still won, Assad. OTOH, everything taken together leads me to the opinion that when Saddam made his "MOTHER OF ALL BATTLES" remark, he was possibly forecasting potential future US defeat but NOT necessarily at the hands of His or Iraq's Baathist forces per se. Iff there were any doubts before 9-11, post 9-11 its clear the USA is dealing with an organized geopol effort, of which Radical Islam is only one part of. In any case, AMERICA EITHER WINS, OR IT WILL BE DESTROYED - in-betweens only lead to eventual defeat. For all their hype about Americans being given "choice", the Failed Lefties and anti-US agendists are NOT giving Americans any "choice" when it comes to forcing Americans to accept, or volunteer to accept, national Socialism, Communism, OWG and Socie World Order.

#5 In WWII, the Devil's Brigade was on which side?

In WWII, the "Devil's in Skirts" were on which side?

Otari was making a prediction of what his short life would be like if we had the balls to end their terrorist existance.

#6 There's not much on the "suicide", but here's the AP story.

Syria's interior minister, who ran Lebanon as security chief until 2003, died Wednesday, and Syria's official news agency said he had committed suicide.

His death was reported days before the expected release of a U.N. report into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

"Interior Minister Brig. Gen. Ghazi Kenaan committed suicide in his office before noon," the Syrian Arab News Agency reported. "Authorities are carrying out the necessary investigation into the incident."

The news agency report did not mention the looming U.N. investigation, but Kenaan was intelligence chief in Lebanon from the 1980s until 2003, presiding over Syria's control of its neighboring country. He reportedly was questioned by U.N. investigators in the probe of the Hariri's murder.

Suicided, huh. Color me skeptical.

"I want to make clear that our relation with our brothers in Lebanon was based on love and mutual respect"

Yeah Right.

#13 That will be very convenient. The gates open, we chase them into Hell, where they get to meet Mohammed.

So, just who has been dumping terrorists and arms across who's borders Mr. Otari?

#18 It's a strange cultural thing. The more scared and hapless they feel the more bellicose and vicious the rhetoric. Their language is rich in this area and provides alot of resources. Doesn't it remind one of Saddam's lackies?

#19 "all the gates of hell will open on the U.S. if it attempts to attack Syria."

Hell itself can be brought to Syria in the form of hundreds of napalm canisters....

#22 Maybe they were thinking about the gate to the Mines of Moria and Khazad-dum. Perhaps Baby Assad is harboring a Balrog left over from Saddam's regime or something.
