'Bush and Saddam should fight a duel'

Baghdad, Iraq - United States President George Bush should fight a duel with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein instead of going to war and making all of Iraq suffer, Saddam's vice-president said in an interview on Thursday.

"Bush wants to attack the whole Iraq, the army and the infrastructure," Taha Yassin Ramadan said.

Bush says he wants Saddam toppled and accuses him of stockpiling nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and harboring terrorists.

Ramadan suggested instead that Bush face Saddam in a formal duel - with their vice-presidents as their seconds and the weapon of their choice.


Hmmm: Sabres? Pistols? Rhetoric at 20 paces? Ready wit and biting repartee at dawn?

Ah - perhaps not. Best Dubya stick to the big honking guns, I guess.

Not that I'm wild at the thought of him winning, but I'm also not keen on the idea that he might lose...
