#1 We need Jordan's Hashemite king to take over Arabia when we toss the towel-heads out. By now all but the closest Saddamites are asking each other, "You mean if we get rid of the Beast of Baghdad and our Germ-bombs, and let US troops enforce UN declarations, then we can have peace? And if we don't, cruise missiles will squash our infrastructure, again?" If Saddam is alive on Aug 31, 2002, I will swim to Cuba and cut sugar cain for Fidel.

#2 that's a BIG "if" RG - while I actualy agree with you - Usama has proven how hard it is to concretely define "dead" if the target isn't easily pinned down - I actually think
Usama's dead - his ego wouldn't let this much time go by without a mocking "nya nya" video..what about Saddam, with an unknown number of body doubles/targets?

#3 I wonder what ever happened to the dozen or so doubles Binny was supposed to have?

#4 Sharif Ali has a much more defensible claim to the throne -- he's sort of a first cousin once removed of the last King. Hassan is more like a third cousin twice removed. I'd have to look over the family tree again ...

Hassan, in other words, was there to support his cousin, not to claim the mantle for himself.

#5 Which do you think'll get the throne in Riyadh? Hassan or Abdullah?
