ryyannon Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Saddam was an [censored]! I don't think anyone will argue that point. I do miss his Defense Minister though. Now that is a guy that could drink urine and tell you it was a good Pilsner! See ryyannon's Avatar for photo. As far as I know, 'Baghdad Bob', aka 'Comical Ali', was not Saddam's Minister of Defense as much as the official spokesman for the Irakian Ministry of 'Information'. He was the only high-ranking members of Saddam's government not to be included on the infamous most-wanted rogues gallery that appeared as a deck of cards, and was never actively searched for by the coalition forces. It's rumored that President Bush had a particular affection for him, considering that by his surrealistic declarations in the face of reality, Ali had actually contributed immensely to decreditabilizing Saddam's regime and furthering the American war effort. Dozens of sites dedicated to him appeared, perhaps the best being 'We Love the Irakian Information Minister': http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/ Years after, it sill makes for funny reading. The photoshopped pictures are priceless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been very successful in politics here in the United States. More politicians need to study this guy. Maybe he has a career as a stand up comic. Maybe Bush could hire him as the White House spokesman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtM3 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Wasn't that a U.N. Embargo? yes it was, the point being, even if you lay all those on saddam, it's nowhere near the 25 mil (80,000/month) stated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 What's wrong with the world? Let's all wave our American flags, they are all jealous of us. They wish they could live the way we live. They should thank us for liberating them. So what if we killed so many innocent civilians? Kill more if it wipes out all the terrorists. Every country in the world would love to be like America, with every citizen having complete freedom. Every country should be a democracy like America.

cornerstone Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 CIA fact book Oil - consumption: 80.1 million bbl/day (2003 est.) Oil - proved reserves: 1.349 trillion bbl (1 January 2002 est.) 1.349 x 10^12 / 80.1 x 10^6 ~ 16,840 days ~ 46 years... taking into consideration the rate of consumption increase, maybe 20 years... Panerai watches - saving the world energy crisis hand in hand with beans. In no way mentioned to make this post more interesting and relevant.... Okay, I have a second revelation. Not only can baked beans save the world - Panerai watches can as well (including reps! ) Taking ArtM3's figures as a point of reference it is possible to take the number of joules of energy in a barrel of oil and multiply this by the proved reserves. Done this yet? Oh, okay I'll save you some time (assuming my pet monkey is any good at abacus). That gives a proven oil reserve of 8.25588 x 10^21 joules. Einstein, also the name of my pet monkey, says that Energy = Mass x (Speed of light)^2 8.25588 x 10^21 = Mass x (8.98755 x 10^16) Means Mass = 9.1859 x 10^4 Mass = 9,185 kg. There is the equivalent energy in 9 metric tonnes of any mass to equal the entire global reserves of oil (used as oil, not its own mass). Taking ArtM3's figure of 16,840 days (or the daily consumption) this means you can get the world's global daily consumption of oil out of: 9185 / 16840 = 545 grams of baked beans or some Panerai watches Oh, and the technology has to be invented to split the particles involved, etc, etc. Minor details(!) But the energy is there..... RWC saves the world energy crisis. Bing! Next!..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
