The Great Debate

February 24, 2003

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.”

With language.
Conservatives, like most fascist groups, use the power of language to evoke an emotional response, repeating their talking points over and over and over until they are treated as fact.
