Transterrestrial Musings quotes a BBC interview with an Arabic language expert:

It starts with a tape of Saddam in his nightgown, in which he calls the President, among other things, a donkey.

Lead question to Mr Arabic expert: "So, is this bad?"

. . . .

"Oh, yes, yes, it is the greatest of insults. There is no lower animal that one can compare an opponent with. It is worse even than a pig. Clearly Saddam is very angry at Mr. Bush."

It appears that Saddam lacks imagination when it comes to ranking the lower animals -- either that or he's not as angry at Bush as some Americans are. After toying with chimp parallels for a few days, Max Sawicky has sunk to comparing Bush to a dung beetle. I expect him to start writing for WarBloggerWatch any day now.
