I have a feeling that this is the most serious weapon that Saddam Hussein has been developing over the past 12 years.

Across the capital, two icons of Hussein are prevalent: One features him firing a rifle into the air; the other portrays him in prayer.
I wonder if they copied that from the fake picture of George Washington in prayer.

There was a "cease fist" the trinity is currently negotiating for a quadrinity. Why decimate your followers when you can assymilate other followers through a deity merger?

There must be some truth to that old cliche "There are no atheists in a palace when you are a totalitarian dicator about to be served and don't know what else to do"

doncha think?

[Saddam has never been very religious, his daughters don't wear anything on their heads (no coverings) in the most recent family picture either.]
