Idi Amin Battles Death Jul 21, 2003 (Vanguard/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- FORMER Ugandan leader, Idi Amin - whose 1971 to 1979 regime was one of the bloodiest in African history - is reported to be in a coma in his exile base in Saudi Arabia. "They have told me he is in coma and on a life support machine. We are still waiting for more information from there," one of his wives, Madina Amin, said in an interview. Mr Amin has lived in Saudi Arabia with his entourage for more than 10 years, after almost a decade in Libya. He has not been back to Uganda since he was ousted by Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles in 1979. Mr Amin was widely seen abroad as a figure of fun. He declared himself Field Marshal, King of Scotland and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa and offered to visit Northern Ireland as a peace mediator. http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jul2003-daily/22-07-2003/world/w2.htm http://highmarkfunds.stockpoint.com/highmarkfunds/newspaper.asp?Mode=tanzania&Story=20030721/202u5010.xml
The sooner the world is rid of him the better, same smile as Hussein, now theres a man who if he had wmd we would have had reason to worry. One of his better forms of entertainment to foreign diplomats (from 3rd world countries) was to do the old British Raj of India trick from previous centruy, and tie a Ugandan wrong doer to a piece of field atrillery and fire away. "I consider myself to be the most important figure in the world" His Royal Highness, Field Marshall Idi Amin Dadda VC.
Its too bad Chevy Chase isnt on SNL to pick up on this. "This just in: former Ugandian Dictator Idi Amin is not dead yet"
Now to let my Celtic axe fall upon Saddams neck ! Aye, it will be interesting to view the news conference tomorrow......with what specifics they can give us. Am very hopeful these daily snipe shoots will slow down to stop but this ain't over till it's over ~E
Tha madmans sons are dead? When did this happen and what happened? Please excuse me because I haven't watched the news for a few days and I have only watched two episodes of Leave It To Beaver, I Dream Of Jeannie, and one episode each of The Munsters, and I Love Lucy )only because Richard Widmark was in it), and I watched "The Spy Who Loved Me.
Early this morning, Elements of the 101 Airborne Raided a house which they received word that Uday and Qusay were hiding in. While approaching the house, the troops were fired upon. After a 6 hour battle the 101 carried 4 bodies from the building for DNA analysis. Centcom reported less than an hour ago that two of them are indeed, Uday and Qusay. CcvM
