The Iraqi elite Republican Guard is now doing so bad that it has been
changed to the Democratic Guard.
You know it's interesting,they say Saddam has two sons. Uday and Qusay. I
believe in Pig Latin that's Marty and Steve. On Iraqi TV today they showed
Saddam and his three sons. Did you know he has three sons? There's Uday,
Qusay and Little Joe.
No one knows is Saddam is still alive. They keep showing old footage of him
on TV saying that it's live. You know it's like the same thing we do with
Dick Cheney.
The U.N. has decided to restart the oil for food program with Iraq. You
know what you get when you combine heavy crude oil and food? Kentucky fried
chicken.
President Bush said today the war is not about timetables. It's about
winning. Hey, it worked in Florida.
Here's kind of a weird story. Way back in 1980, Saddam Hussein was given a
key to the city of Detroit. Did you know that? A dignitary from Detroit
traveled to Iraq and as a goodwill gesture he gave Saddam Hussein the key
to the city. Of course, Saddam never actually went to Detroit. Way too
dangerous. He wouldn't do that.
It's a little-known fact; that in 1980 Saddam Hussein was actually given
the key to the city by Detroit. Isn't that amazing? The more we bomb
Baghdad, the more it starts to look like Detroit.
A Brisbane academic specialising in respiratory protection says surgical
masks offer very limited protection against the spread of severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Griffith University's Dr David Bromwich says toxic dust masks designed to
protect against asbestos are a much better option.
He says if fitted properly they offer a high level of respiratory
protection but surgical masks are next to useless.
"If you're operating and you have an open wound they'll stop, when you
cough and spit, anything going into the wound," he said.
"But when you wear them to try and protect yourself, they're just not
designed for that.
"The fabric is not usually good enough and the fit is usually not anywhere
near good enough to give protection against micro-organisms."
