AMMAN (Reuters) - Former Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein has said in a letter he would sacrifice himself for Arab nationalism and to end foreign occupation.

The International Committee of the Red Cross delivered the letter, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, on Sunday to a Jordanian friend of Saddam who declined to be named.

"I sacrifice my soul and very existence to the Arab cause and liberation of our homeland from foreign liberation," the former Iraqi leader said in the undated letter that was heavily censored by the U.S. military which holds him on behalf of the Iraqi government.

Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 04:20 AM by votesomemore
is this a suicide set-up? How in goddess' sweet name can he "sacrifice himself"? He's a prisoner of war or some such nefarious description. Right? He has like no control.

And what in god's name is "Arab nationalism"? Wasn't he the outcast of the Arab world? Kuwait?

AND what is his HOMELAND?

This is so bogus. Just one more smoke and mirror aka George W. Bush and devil minions.

Scrambled brains. Order of the day. IOW :wtf:

This sniffs.
