"I am Saddam, Saddam I am..."
« on: February 25, 2003, 02:28:52 PM »
Got this in my email box..
Author unknown.

A while ago Iraq delivered to the United Nations a 12,000 page
report denying it had weapons of mass destruction. Realising
that pResident Bush does not have the requisite attention span
for reading 12,000 pages, the Iraqis have provided an executive
summary written in the style of the pResident's favorite author,
Dr. Seuss.

I am Saddam.
Saddam I am.

I am the ruler of Iraq,
The country that you would attack.

You are Bush.
Bush you are.
The fame of you has spread afar.

You do not like me, Bush, I know.
You would not like me in a show.
You would not like me in the snow.
You simply wish that I would go.

You say I used to slaughter Kurds.
You say that I use naughty words.

You say I have an evil stash
Of weapons of destruction (mass),
Of bombs and missiles, germs and gas.

You say I tried to kill your Pop.
Oh, how I wish that you would stop!

I promise you I have no stash
Of weapons of destruction (mass).

I do not have them near or far.
I did not hide them in my car.
I did not hide them in a bar.

I did not hide them in a hole.
I did not hide them up a pole.

I did not hide them in a grave.
I did not hide them in a cave.

I did not hide them in a dish.
I did not hide them in a knish.

I did not hide them in my coat.
I did not hide them in a goat.

I did not hide them in a trunk.
I did not hide them in my bunk.

I did not hide them anywhere.
In short, they simply are not there.

The inspectors came and looked,
And looked, and looked, and looked, and looked.

They looked high and they looked low,
Every place that they could go.

They looked in every hole and crack,
Each drawer and closet, bag and sack.

They found nothing in a trunk-or
Even in my private bunker.

They did not find a single stash
Of weapons of destruction (mass) ...
And STILL you won't get off my a**!

I've done all that I can do.
The rest, dear Bush, is up to you.

Please don't be angry, don't be sore.
We don't need to have a war.

Let's go back to the good old days
When your dad and Reagan sang my praise.

I was your faithful ally then.
Why can't we be friends again?

I say, let's let this whole thing drop.
(My best regards to your dear Pop.)

Only read children's books to my grandchildren. That one's so far fetched even they wouldn't believe it.

6 grandchildren with another on the way.

Yep, I'm an old fart. As my Dad is fond of saying "growing old may not be great but it beats the alternative."

They've stopped searching for WMDs in Iraq?

What's what 10Bears? You think just because the US hasn't found WMD in 3 months they aren't there? The UN inspectors looked for how long? And they knew that Iraq had 'em.

You're pretty naive, but that's ok, the big boys will take care of you.

quite obviously, the sole alternative to growing old is death at a young age.

Didn't you have some kind of bet 10bears, with Toad? I seem to remember 90 days being involved somewhere along the line.

He had a bet with Toad as I'd bet you well know Dowding. Just because he may win that bet doesn't mean there are no wmd in Iraq. Just stating the obvious for the obvious observation impaired.

I know they had a bet, that's why I'm asking about it. Thanks for the input though; much appreciated.

Was it 90 days or until the autumn - I'm not sure which.

It's 90 days with 10B.... which is 9 days from now.

I have the same bet with Toad, but I gave it 6 months instead of 3.
