Iraqis read Mark Twain?

[dev_null]

Al-Sahhaf lashed out at the “criminal George Bush and his gang.â€

“They are superpower of villains. They are superpower of Al Capone,†he said. “We will not allow them to get out of this quagmire which we trapped them in. They will see their end there.†(CNN)

Reminds me of Mark Twain on hand-to-hand combat: "Firmly plant your nose between your opponent's teeth and wrestle him to the ground on top of you."

Al Capone...? Is that the best they can come up with?

They forgot to mention the evil wardog Steve Canyon who is now bombing the poop out of them.

Too late, Omar, Clinton is no longer President; your Somaliland dreams are over. We are no longer an army of lions lead by a deer!

He also refered to something called 'the Zionist Oil Mafia' or some such IIRC.

The Arab diatribes aren't as funny as the nutty pronouncements out of PingPongYang, but they're close! LMFAO

Near as I can tell, their end is somewhere around the Turkish border, by way of Baghdad.
