MORE HILARITY FROM MARK STEYN, in "Bush playing his cards
right in Iraq":
Well, yes, Saddam's gone the Osama route,
releasing audio cassettes every couple of weeks. Why is that? These days, a compact
camcorder's as easy to smuggle in as a Walkman, and video would have far more impact.
Could it be that Saddam isn't in such great shape for the cameras? Not quite ready for
his close-up? Wherever he is, he's dependent on a dwindling band of aides and, after
the way his sons were sold out, he's gonna be a bit twitchy if Ahmed's trip to the 7-
Eleven seems to be taking a little too long.
His humor is especially good because it is like poetry, hitting concisely at the
truth.
