Over at Blogocracy, Tim Dunlop has posted a link to some footage of Saddam and his aides discussing their “slingshots of mass destruction” strategy for beating the American invasion:
In the video, Mr. Hussein, wearing a double-breasted gray suit, aims a slingshot, shoots an arrow at a door using a crossbow (as aides scamper out of the way) and swings a mock gasoline bomb over his head with a rope. He urges his aides to get such weapons into the hands of Iraqis.
“Let’s use all the methods we can,� he tells his generals. “These methods can be made at home.�
Later he says, “Let’s talk to the minister of industry to see if we can mass produce this.â€? Tariq Aziz, Mr. Hussein’s close adviser and deputy prime minister, pipes in, “This can be shown to our group of people, who can introduce it to the others.”
The footage is here.
Up until this point I was totally opposed to the invasion. Now I’ve realised the error of my ways.
That funny guy!
Notice Tariq’s very correct posture!
Posture doesn’t matter so much these days.
You can scrape your head raw bowing before the hood is put on (If there is a hood)and you say your prayers to whatever fucking god one prays to. Who is listening to the prayers?
Religous and civil wars will devour the souls of those who live there and many others.

Is that Borat?
Appears to be.
Some of Saddam’s “slingshot” victims. I’ll look out for a funny post on that at Road to Rupert some time soon.
Drats my dastardly plot of misinformation has been foiled by a clever jesuit car!
