There's a Joke in Here Somewhere...

Saddam Hussein has apparently fired the Iraqi commander of air defense. The two potentially funny things here are that the man is one of Saddam's cousins (he seems to have an inexhaustible supply--we're testing the theory as we speak) and that Saddam actually believes someone else can do the job better.

The lesson learned for despots worldwide are:

1- You shouldn't hire your relatives for sensitive national security positions

2- You shouldn't pick fights with the United States in which they actually might bomb the snot out of you.

what I find most ironic is the name of the new guy....also al-Tikriti.

"Musahim Saab al-Tikriti" was replaced with "Gen. Shahin Yasin Muhammad al-Tikriti"

But maybe that's a really common name in Iraq, who knows.

Yep, I wondered about that, too. I've been trying to find something that would tell me whether there was some relation there or not.

Heheh. Moxie commented on my blog. I feel all warm and fuzzy right now.
