Arabia
Saddam's wife, daughters are in the UAE
2003-07-19
The "Baghdad" daily, mouthpiece of the national reconciliation movement in Iraq, said yesterday that Sajedah Kheirallah, the wife of the toppled Iraqi president, and her three daughters headed for the United Arab Emirates to stay there. The paper said that "Sajedah Kheirallah and her three daughters Raghad, Rana and Hala and their children headed to the UAE through a neighboring state" noting that "persons close" to the two brothers in-law of Saddam Hussein that live outside Iraq "arranged the travel of the four women." The paper stressed that "a high ranking official at the UAE responded to hosting the family of the toppled Iraqi President."

#6  If "take out" doesn't mean "kill" in this context, then apologies for my insufficient knowledge of English. I think it would have been politer though, if you had explained to me what it meant.

#5  Aris - as usual, you "read" into the words what you want to "hear."

"All lies in jest
Still a man hears
What he wants to hear
And disregards the rest..."

#4  If "take out" still means "kill", then have you and PD gone in favour of murdering civilians in order to "shake" (aka terrorize) the legitimate targets?

#2  This really bugs me. The war is still being run along "politically correct" lines. Take out the immediate family. Shake them.
Are we so stupid?
Very few people (besides the Islamist fundies) beleive we are at war

Unbeleivable!
