Saddam's "Historic Speech"
What a waste of bandwidth.
What a waste of oxygen.
It reminds me a lot of the Martian leader's speech in Mars Attacks!
As I listen to it, I'm not hearing anything that he couldn't have planned to say before the war started. No specifics to indicate that it was made since Wednesday night. If it were really today's Saddam, he'd be sure to mention the glorious victory in capturing the Americans today.
I write this before the end of the long harangue, but it's clear to me that it's simply a tape of something that he put together before the war started, in order to exhort the troops.
He's either dead, or incapacitated.

If incapacitated includes mental instability, then he was incapacitated from the start. Hopefully we can get to this oxygen pirate once and for all, and stop him dead

Mars Attacks!
Great movie. Great send-up of the B-movie genre. I've never understood why it didn't do better at the box office.
Of course, one important difference is that the Martian leader wasn't just full of sh*t.

The polictal humour was lost on many.
