And you don't think a good ole' boy from Texas knows a dirty trick or two himself?

Seriously, though, many people seem to forget that George Bush did serve in the military (Air Force). I also saw some blurbs on the news that he works out for 1 1/2 hours every day in the White House gym. He looks a lot more impressive without the 3-piece suit on.

Saddam is the one living off his people, not G.W.

BTW, the method of having generals face each other or each army choosing a champion is as old as the Bible - specifically David vs Goliath.

The Israelites and Philistines were locked in a bitter war with neither side gaining an advantage. That's when the Philistines offered Goliath as they're champion and challenged the Israelites to produce a champion of their own to face Goliath mano-y-mano - Winner Take All. The rest (as they say) is history.

Saddam is good at pontificating from the protection of his palace. He and his buddy Osama are both very good at sacrificing OTHERS for their cause while they stayed hidden in their holes. I'd put Bush up against either one of them any day of the week.
