Just when you think Saddam is out of tricks to delay or obfuscate, he comes up with something new: challenging Bush to a televised debate.
CBS News anchor Dan Rather, who conducted the interview, said he asked Saddam if his offer was a joke.
“This is something proposed in earnest,” Saddam said in response. “Out of my respect for the people of the United States and my respect for the people of Iraq and the people of the world, I call for this because war is not a joke.”
And he should know.
If this gambit fails, will he next suggest a duel at twenty paces?
