 Die another day: This may be a case where the old phrase "blame it on the Jews" may actually be true. According to a published report, a Jewish man claims that he saved Saddam's life by convincing the despot's mother not to kill herself when she was pregnant with baby Saddam. The story comes up everytime we go to war with Iraq and appeared in an Israeli newspaper in 1991 in an interview with a University of Haifa expert on Iraq who claims he spoke with someone who knows someone who told them the story. Another few degrees and Kevin Bacon would've showed up. Family members of the old lady who claims firsthand knowledge of the incident say she's just that -- a delusional old woman and the story is merely family legend. Why this stuff doesn't make the nightly news is beyond us.
