Yes. Shrub should duel Saddam. To the pain! To the death! Can they both die??? Please?
Yeah! Go for it!
I’d pay to see it! I still say Bush and Gore should have had to duke it out in a steel cage match. This would be even better!
They are duelling. Bush’s weapon of choice happens to be the U.S. military.
I know this is a ‘fun’ topic, but the suggested moral equivalence here is pretty revolting. It’s like saying Hitler should have just duelled Churchill. The winner gets Sudentenland.
And Texans are good at fights on face?
Wow, maybe I should take up kendo. 
please tell me I’m being whooshed.
he isn’t one, nope, not at all, I dont care if he can BS his way through a speech in espanol.
Hmm, how about a duel using intercontinental ballistic missiles at a distance of 10,000 miles?
Dubya should challenge Saddam to a footrace – running a distance of, say, ten miles. Since Dubya’s a devoted jogger, he should be able to manage, but Saddam would have a heart attack.
That wouldn’t work very well if the VPs were to get involved, though. Cheney shouldn’t take on anything more physical than chess or billiards.
After Fleischer’s remarks about assassinating Saddam, it’s nice to see the Iraqi’s make a move for the moral high ground.
That’s NOT what he said. He was speaking of an internal coup. He said “A bullet, administered by another Iraqi, is also cheap”.
This match should be Hell in a Cell.
I am reminded of a story in Mark Twain’s autobiography (there are several about dueling) where a friend of his is challenged to one by some young punk. His buddy shrugs and says something to the effect of, “Fine. Double-barrelled shotguns at ten feet.”
Predictably, the duel did not occur.
Saddam is supposedly an excellent rifle shot. I would say he would win with firearms.
Unarmed, Bush is in excellent shape, but if Saddam is familiar with wrestling at all, he could negate that with his weight.
If it were an intellectual contest, like chess, Saddam would win easily.
Hell, this ought to be good. A duel between Dubya and Saddam. I am sure billions of people will want to watch it live. Just think of the revenues.
Oh, and don’t forget all the bettings.
Maybe Saddam gets tricky and suggests a preztel eating contest. 
[warning: Wrestling Lingo ahead]
If Vince Russo was booking it, it would be a Pretzel in a Cell.
Well bush goes on about the “Axis of Evil” all the time. Lets see him back it up. Could you just imagine Bush choke slamming Saddam off the top of the cage through the Spanish Announcers table?
I’d bet Bush no-sells everything.
You know, I’ve never been able to figure out why everyone claims that Bush is some sort of lumbering idiot. Sure, he gets tounge tied, but c’mon folks…
I like the idea of a knife fight.
But the poncy elf fancier in me likes the idea of a Jello wrestling match.
Must…
Wash…
Brain…
Supposedly Saddam is in pretty bad shape. I remember reading recently that he now walks with a limp.
I suppose it would have to be trial by champion now.
Make it interesting - bare-handed, to the death.
The US can use Ken Shamrock. Who does Iraq have?
Hell, I’d watch. I’d rather see a mano e mano match then a comparison of who’s Army is bigger. :rolleyes:
And Sam… lighten up.
Silly Avalonian. Size doesn’t matter.
[sub]Well, that’s what she said![/sub]
Oh, that’s just what he wants you to think. He’s just setting up his version of the rope-a-dope.
“Never trust an Iraqi when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha! …Urk!”
Really? Why not? Which is more revolting? Drafting a million men to fight over your macho feudalist desire to rule the Sudetenland (or wherever) or doing it yourself?
More seriously, since it’s generally agreed that this is at least partly a grudge match between Saddam & the Bush family, let’s have them duel over that grudge.
(“You tried to kill Poppy!”
“He wrecked my country to save the stupid Kuwaitis!”)
I vote for a duel instead of a war & a full regime change. I don’t expect there to be conditions on a duel that would change the rulership of the country, & I don’t expect they’d hold if imposed. I just want the tribalist mass murderer & the idiot wanna-be aristocrat to kill each other.
Squink: seriously, what is with that Ari guy? Every time I see his smug mug on TV I just get so angry. I think my dislike for him is topped only by my dislike for Asscroft. I kinda let Bush slide because I honestly don’t think he knows any better and most of the time just says what he’s told.
I remember a Doonesbury strip from a couple years back where Oliver North made a challenge like this to someone (Noriega? Qaddafi?) and Sid, the producer guy, actually tried to set it up.
