	Shaddam Shaddam in the Vaudeville Scam!
		Back in the mock courtroom, more than a few people were wondering why Saddam Hussein, a real stickler for being clean shaven and having short hair since he was a teenager, should suddenly choose to change the habits of a lifetime and appear like a tramp with long matted hair and a bushy unkempt beard.
		Of course, Shaddam is hoping that it will only be a mock execution and a mock burial, because he has been promised the usual Mossad perks of a new identity, two million bucks, a fast car, and free airline tickets to Monte Carlo.
		When the "Tyrant Saddam" has been officially executed by the victorious Zionists, poor old Shaddam will fall into the category of someone who knows far too much for his own good, and in particular far too much for the greater good of the Jewish State.

		As Hussein foresaw, the regeneration of Palestine, and the growth of its population, came only after Jews returned in massive numbers.

		Analysts say the Fedayeen units are loathed by most of the Iraqi population, particularly the majority Shiite Muslims, and could face public execution if Saddam falls, which is why they have little reason to surrender.
		WASHINGTON - Until the war began, few Americans had heard of the Fedayeen Saddam, the paramilitary extremists loyal to Saddam Hussein who have led much of Iraq's defenses in the first week of the war.
		Saddam's strategy has been to use the Fedayeen units to attack U.S. supply lines from the rear as they advance toward Baghdad and to suppress Iraqi rebellion at gunpoint.
