I've Been Thinking:

Sometimes, sound advice comes from some of the strangest sources.
Today, Saddam Hussein gave Syria advice concerning the current conflict between Hezbollah and Israel.

Saddam warned Syria to be very careful about trusting Iran.
Saddam blamed Iran for the current crisis in the Middle East.

Now, we all know that Saddam Hussein is a liar and a cheat. He was a despot and a tyrant. But in this instance, he has nothing to gain and no reason to lie.
Saddam Hussein is simply giving his opinion and offering his own analysis based on years of experience in dealing with the involved parties.

The big question is this: How is it that Saddam Hussein can see the truth here while the European Union, the United Nations and a whole long list of other countries cannot.

Syria is out of the Iran's league, Syria is overplaying their hand.
Saddam is saying that Iran and Hezbollah may just ensnarl Syria in a big mess, in a very big mess.
