"This is a dead end." "Where is it going to end?" So, before his restless allies
got any bad ideas, Saddam decided to give them
a little attitude adjustment. Let's get back to the palace
where Saddam's ministers have been waiting
in silent terror for hours. Finally, Saddam arrives. He speaks for 30 rambling minutes. Having seen
their leader's brutality firsthand, the men prepare for the worst. Instead, Saddam invites them
to a lavish supper. Gives them one thousand dollars each, and has them driven home. But the message is clear. Next time they might not be so lucky
