from the NY Times:
Iraq's vice president, Taha Yassin Ramadan, denounced Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, for suggesting in an interview that Mr. Hussein be 'the first to sacrifice for his country' by giving up power.
'You failure, go to hell,' Mr. Ramadan said Tuesday, directing his comments to Prince Saud. 'You are too small to talk to the leader of Iraq, and those who will be swept away from the land of the Arab world are people like you. You are a minion and a lackey.'

It is harder to imagine a more terrorist looking group than the ATU.
Picture a mix of gangsta rappers meets the Guardian Angels meets the RUF. They pick off IDP girls in camps and rape them, usually gang rape, and most recently killed a man on President Taylor's orders for scratching one of his black Landcruisers.

September 21, 2001 -- IT’S time for the United Nations to get the hell out of town. And take with it CNN war slut Christiane Amanpour.
Also, short ABC comedian Bill "those bombers were brave" Maher. More on that in a sec.
The U.N. building towers over the East River like a giant middle finger aimed at our shores.
The once-shiny beacon of peace has devolved into a cancer, where all manner of anti-American lunacy is hatched.
Today, the U.N. functions as an international megaphone through which every Third World dictatorship vents its fury at our way of life.
Though technically not on American soil, the United Nations clogs our city like sewage.
It lustily sucks up our police, our water, our sanitation services while its personnel jam city streets by parking illegally, and break all manner of traffic and criminal law with a get-out-of-jail-free card known as diplomatic immunity.
Now, the United Nations is serving yet another function: It has become the quietest place on earth.
<bookmark>The City Council in La Verkin, Utah, last week softened a draft anti-UN ordinance that would have required residents and businesses with UN affiliations to place notices on their property and file reports with the city. The draft was changed by a narrow vote following warnings from a state official that it violated constitutional rights of free speech, assembly and equal protection. Although the council changed the draft, the town of 3,300 remains a declared " UN-free zone," the Washington Times reports. " The UN is anti-God, anti-family and anti-country. They are against everything La Verkin stands for," said resident Andy Hare at a council meeting last week. " So the UN is anti-La Verkin. La Verkin has the right to be anti-UN"

GENERAL REINWALD: We’re going to teach them climbing,canoeing, archery, and shooting."
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting&! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?"
GENERAL REINWALD: "I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range."
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"
GENERAL REINWALD: "I don’t see how, ....we will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm."
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you’re equipping them to become violent killers."
GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?" The radio went silent and the interview ended.
