Open Letter to Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of Al-Quds Al-Arabi, Al-Jazeera talking head: It's time to find some new patrons, Mr Atwan. Saddam's days are numbered, as are your days as beneficiary of his largesse. The spigot of funds is about to be turned off on you Mr. Atwan, so it's time to hitch your wagon to some other tyrant willing to pay for a professional loudmouth and liar like yourself who excels at spewing venom in defense of evil and corrupt dictatorships.

You claim to champion the cause of Arab people, and speak against the "oil dictatorships", yet you defend the regime that has terrorized and crushed its population and killed their hopes and dreams. You defend the regime that squandered its considerable resources over meaningless wars and denied its people the standard of living that they deserve. And you defended that regime when it invaded a neighboring Arab Muslim country and raped and pillaged it for 7 months.

I saw your diatribe on Al-Jazeera today, and was amazed (though I shouldn't be) at your declaration that the coalition is losing this war and that the Iraqi leadership will prevail, and all this only 3 days into the war! You will eat those words very soon, Mr. Atwan. Just pray you don't choke on them..
