Saddam's daughter
Saddam Hussein's daughter went on television to say that the family is supporting the captured former leader of Iraq, and that they think he was drugged after U.S. soldiers captured him in a hole Saturday."Every an honest person who knows Saddam knows that he is firm and powerful. Saddam was tranquilized when captured," she said in an interview with the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television station. "He would be a lion even when caged," she said.
OK, so she wants her daddy to live. That's understandable. What I don't understand is her reasoning for thinking her father was drugged. If he would be a "lion," why didn't he fight U.S. soldiers when they found him? Why didn't he fire the revolver he had with him? Why didn't he try to be a martyr, like so many other people who were once under him?
His daughter says he would be a lion. I'm thinking she's been watching The Wizard of Oz and was thinking of the Cowardly Lion.
