As Polish troops discover chemical weapons in Iraq, Saddam says “This is all a theater by Bush, the criminal.”
The timing couldn’t be worse for Saddam — if only the stories were reported together, which is not happening as far as I can see. Instead, Saddam alone, in various dramatic poses of righteous indignation, is everywhere, sounding a good bit like Al Gore or John Kerry — which may explain the slant of the coverage so far.
I expect that in the coming days we will see more and more stories about Iraqis’ nostalgia for the good old days of the Saddam regime, and maybe even puff pieces about how the old guy wasn’t so bad after all.
