Saddam Sacks Commander of Air Defenses

Saddam Hussein has fired his commander of air defenses as U.S.-led forces claimed control of 95 percent of Iraq's sky, the British government said Saturday. Prime Minister Tony Blair's official spokesman said Saddam had sacked his cousin, Musahim Saab al-Tikriti, and replaced him with Gen. Shahin Yasin Muhammad al-Tikriti.

Sadly, their French-made Herve Villachese SAM Radars are all woefully out of date firmware-wise.

I suspect I'd rather hate to be "fired" by Saddam. I imagine there's more to it than simply cleaning out your desk.

A Møøse once bit my sister ...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
Nordfink".

We apologise for the fault in the
subtitles. Those responsible have been
sacked.

Uh oh, looks like trouble in the Tikrit clan. Remember, Saddam's name is really Saddam Hussein al-Majd al-Tikriti.
