The Associated Press reports:
Saddam Hussein indicated on Monday that he does not intend to follow U.N. orders to destroy his Al-Samoud 2 missiles, and challenged President Bush to an internationally televised debate via satellite linkup.
In a three-hour interview with CBS anchor Dan Rather, the Iraqi leader said he envisioned a live debate with Bush along the lines of those in a U.S. presidential campaign, according to the network.
Hmm. I’m having trouble coming up with a funny comment that skewers both Hussein and Bush here. How about this:
“I think that Saddam should be forced to place all his weapons of mass destruction in a lockbox,” said Bush.
“I don’t have any weapons,” replied Hussein, adjusting a suspicious aluminum tube leaning against the podium. “The great Satan is using fuzzy math.”
