Saddams Strategy

Iron_Ranger · 03-04-2003, 07:03 PM

I dont know if this is true or not, but I heard that Saddam is instrucing all of his top guys to watch Enemy at the Gates and Black Hawk Down..

Ehm, I cant understand Black Hawk Down I guess. But Enemy At The Gates? Whats that have to do with anything? Is it because he is expecting Bagdad to become Stalingrad esque?

Wow that's interesting.

Both are actually good movies though Black Hawk Down needed more background info unless you already read the book. Good book by the way.

Not sure if I cared for the "sex in the bunker scene" though in Enemy at the Gates

But sure looks like Saddam wants every Iraqi to be a Vasili Zaitsev (sp?)sniper killing as many of the evil, fascist American invaders.

Enemy At the Gates could be because of the street fighting. Maybe he wants to give them ideas!

Yeah, well... he's forgetting one tiny detail.... those were different times, with different types of weapons. Stalingrad was a maze, the perfect hideout for a sniper. But today they can spot an enemy inside whatever building he's hiding, simply because of his body temperature. Watching these movies, won't do them much good. I do hope they enjoy em though.

I recently heard/read that Saddam had once commented that Joseph Stalin was one of his ....ack forgot the word..not quite Idol ..but someone he admired....so I would imagine he would want the republican guard to see Enemy at the Gate.

Well at least it's not as bad as hearing the Vice President of South Vietnam in the 1960's saying that he admired Hitler.

That certainly rattled a few people in the media and US administration no doubt. Like what is the US doing in propping up this guy

Say I just realized that Saddam has a bushy mustache just like Uncle Joe!

Coincidence?
