Let me make my prediction: Bush will decline, saying that he doesn't debate with Evildoers, or some such.

Saddam just doesn't get it - violence is the only way to solve problems!

Primordial Groove · 02-24-2003, 03:22 PM

The interview will be aired tonight on cbs evening news.

I would really like to see this, although it would be short:

Saddam-Where is your proof, Bush?

Dubya-Ad Hominem

Saddam-that is not proof.

Dubya-Ad Hominem

Saddam-...

Dubya-...

I'd bet Saddam has a better grasp of the English language....

I think a better idea would be to give them boxing gloves and have them duke it out the old fashioned way.

I wrote yesterday in another cite, about the international press etc.

Quote:

I have written and suggested this before, about the lemmings (or parrots):
<snip>
But still, after that the main news goes as usual, for the 90%:
One lemming writes a story and the other lemmings copies and "streamlines" it.

I am still curious: Why do not the ABC, BBC and others, just make the same questions to the different countries representatives?
Just like take the foreign minister of Iraq and the equal from USA and give them ready written questions?

You say they would not agree to give their propaganda? Crap.
If the questions are written beforehand, and given the parties a chance to formulate some questions themselves, put the shit through the satellite etc. one in Bagdad or Paris, one in Washington.
You think one of the sides would refuse a prime-time hour. OK. Tell both, that if the other is absent, we give You the whole one hour of prime-time.
You think they would still refuse?
The media has incredible power, but it does not use it.

And do you think people would watch that program? All over the world!
And so on.

But these fucking lemmings with resources does nothing else than change the headline of the story that Reuters cables out.

Naturally if there is news like: "North-Korea has made an alliance with Saddam: We will attack South, if USA attacks Iraq. Syria and Iran is wagering, knowing they are the next!", could and would not be hush-hushed anywhere.

But when the braking news are: "The president has a penis and he admits it"-style, the whole Europe is laughing.
Or did You see the writings on the walls in former Yugoslavia: "Monica, why did You not use Your teeth?"

It is true, now nobody is laughing, not even to the "braking news". We are all f^=>()% worried!

The world is at a brink of deep depression, and some guy wants a war, on arguments that he could use against a dozen of countries.
And the news: "How stupid, ungrateful are not the French, Germans, the devil and his grandmother..."
Sic.

I can't understand why people (in this other cite) are so afraid of a debate?
The US refusal will give a very strong propaganda victory to Saddam. Do You wish that?
White house could just explain that this debate could be done on a lower level, foreign ministers etc, because it is in the range of their work. That's all.
Would Saddam give his minister free speach for an hour? I think he would.

P.S. Do You know what Iraq says about the extra range?
They claim that their test-missile was withouth a warhead and that kind of stuff. That is why it was lighter, why it flew longer. Right or wrong, the question is:
"Have You seen much news about this?"
