Well, according to the NEW YORK TIMES, Kola Boof's claims about Bin Laden's love for Whitney Houston are seeming less and less far-fetched as it's now revealed that she was also SADDAM HUSSEIN'S favorite singer----see HIGHLIGHTED area.
N.Y. Times Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/05/opinion/05zizek.html?_r=2&ex=157680000&en=3ad7 e28c9a2909aa&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
Denying the Facts, Finding the Truth
By SLAVOJ ZIZEK
Published: January 5, 2007
London
ONE of the pop heroes of the Iraq war was undoubtedly Muhammad Said al-Sahhaf, the unfortunate Iraqi information minister who, in his daily press conferences during the invasion, heroically denied even the most evident facts and stuck to the Iraqi line. Even with American tanks only a few hundred yards from his office, he continued to claim that the televised shots of tanks on the Baghdad streets were just Hollywood special effects.
In his very performance as an excessive caricature, Mr. Sahhaf thereby revealed the hidden truth of the “normal” reporting: there were no refined spins in his comments, just a plain denial. There was something refreshingly liberating about his interventions, which displayed a striving to be liberated from the hold of facts and thus of the need to spin away their unpleasant aspects: his stance was, “Whom do you believe, your eyes or my words?”
Furthermore, sometimes, he even struck a strange truth — when confronted with claims that Americans were in control of parts of Baghdad, he snapped back: “They are not in control of anything — they don’t even control themselves!”
What, exactly, do they not control? Back in 1979, in her essay “Dictatorship and Double Standards,” published in Commentary, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick elaborated the distinction between “authoritarian” and “totalitarian” regimes. This concept served as the justification of the American policy of collaborating with right-wing dictators while treating Communist regimes much more harshly: authoritarian dictators are pragmatic rulers who care about their power and wealth and are indifferent toward ideological issues, even if they pay lip service to some big cause; in contrast, totalitarian leaders are selfless fanatics who believe in their ideology and are ready to put everything at stake for their ideals.
Her point was that, while one can deal with authoritarian rulers who react rationally and predictably to material and military threats, totalitarian leaders are much more dangerous and have to be directly confronted.
The irony is that this distinction encapsulates perfectly what went wrong with the United States occupation of Iraq: Saddam Hussein was a corrupt authoritarian dictator striving to keep his hold on power and guided by brutal pragmatic considerations (which led him to collaborate with the United States in the 1980s). The ultimate proof of his regime’s secular nature is the fact that in the Iraqi elections of October 2002 — in which Saddam Hussein got a 100 percent endorsement, and thus overdid the best Stalinist results of 99.95 percent — the campaign song played again and again on all the state media was Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”
One outcome of the American invasion is that it has generated a much more uncompromising “fundamentalist” politico-ideological constellation in Iraq. This has led to a predominance of the pro-Iranian political forces there — the intervention basically delivered Iraq to Iranian influence. One can imagine how, if President Bush were to be court-martialed by a Stalinist judge, he would be instantly condemned as an “Iranian agent.” The violent outbursts of the recent Bush politics are thus not exercises in power, but rather exercises in panic.
Recall the old story about the factory worker suspected of stealing: every evening, when he was leaving work, the wheelbarrow he rolled in front of him was carefully inspected, but the guards could not find anything, it was always empty. Finally, they got the point: what the worker was stealing were the wheelbarrows themselves.
This is the trick being attempted by those who claim today, “But the world is nonetheless better off without Saddam!” They forget to factor into the account the effects of the very military intervention against him. Yes, the world is better without Saddam Hussein — but is it better if we include into the overall picture the ideological and political effects of this very occupation?
The United States as a global policeman — why not? The post-cold-war situation effectively called for some global power to fill the void. The problem resides elsewhere: recall the common perception of the United States as a new Roman Empire. The problem with today’s America is not that it is a new global empire, but that it is not one. That is, while pretending to be an empire, it continues to act like a nation-state, ruthlessly pursuing its interests. It is as if the guiding vision of recent American politics is a weird reversal of the well-known motto of the ecologists — act globally, think locally.
After 9/11, the United States was given the opportunity to realize what kind of world it was part of. It might have used the opportunity — but it did not, instead opting to reassert its traditional ideological commitments: out with the responsibility and guilt with respect to the impoverished third world — we are the victims now!
Apropos of the Hague tribunal, the British writer Timothy Garton Ash pathetically claimed: “No Führer or Duce, no Pinochet, Amin or Pol Pot, should ever again feel themselves protected from the reach of international law by the palace gates of sovereignty.” One should simply take note of what is missing in this series of names which, apart from the standard couple of Hitler and Mussolini, contains three third world dictators: where is at least one name from the major powers who might sleep a bit uneasily?
Or, closer to the standard list of the bad guys, why was there little talk of delivering Saddam Hussein or, say, Manuel Noriega to The Hague? Why was the only trial against Mr. Noriega for drug trafficking, rather than for his murderous abuses as a dictator? Was it because he would have disclosed his past ties with the C.I.A.?
In a similar way, Saddam Hussein’s regime was an abominable authoritarian state, guilty of many crimes, mostly toward its own people. However, one should note the strange but key fact that, when the United States representatives and the Iraqi prosecutors were enumerating his evil deeds, they systematically omitted what was undoubtedly his greatest crime in terms of human suffering and of violating international justice: his invasion of Iran. Why? Because the United States and the majority of foreign states were actively helping Iraq in this aggression.
And now the United States is continuing, through other means, this greatest crime of Saddam Hussein: his never-ending attempt to topple the Iranian government. This is the price you have to pay when the struggle against the enemies is the struggle against the evil ghosts in your own closet: you don’t even control yourself.

You're ERIE alright Kola Spoof Nafisa_goma.
First off, this story is taken from the Opinion section of the Times.
It's an Op-Ed piece.
It is OPINION, not NEWS.
Written by an Op-Ed Contributor.
Not a journalist.
Stop fabricating and hallucinating.
And stop trying to trick the people here.
No one around here is dumb (except for you).
Are you conjecturing that because Saddam's campaign played Whitney Houston's
(this is actually a Dolly Parton song BTW)
"I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU"
that Whitney was Saddam's favorite singer?
Because I missed that part in the article.
Where is it written that Whitney was Saddam's favorite singer?
Anywhere? Post it please!!!
Wake up to reality - it's a campaign song!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!
Get it???
Are you further suggesting that the playing of Whitney's song by Saddam's campaign somehow confirms that Bin Laden loved her as well?
And that this confirms Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof was Bin Laden's love slave and that Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof had some sort of inside information about Bin Laden?
Yup. It's ERIE alright. And FISHY too.
It's absolutely mindboggling that you would try to find the teeniest tiniest tidbit of information and attempt to turn it into something of relevance about yourself.
You know what - make yourself useful and help the U.S. Government find Bin Laden's ass.
That's what you can do for me Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof. Stupid ass bitch!!!
Thanks for the laughs with my morning coffee 
As usual, you are HILARIOUS.
CLOWNIE ASS WYNCH!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kola and I laugh all the time about your insane jealousy of her, which is evidenced by your analyzing every little detail about her or about the people who work with her and using whatever tiny grain of negativity you can find or fabricate to sully her in some way.
You took all that time to write up such a grand response and you don't see what that means.
While Kola is becoming a very wealthy woman with a great deal of accomplishment under her belt, the most you can do is work yourself into a frenzy posting vile and hateful comments her way and yet you don't see how it's you who's the pathetic one.
Yes, we've all been laughing this morning but Kola and I always do so while looking down on you.
Best to you and sympathy.

Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof - It's irrelevant who Slavoj Zizek is. He's not a journalist and he's not a member of the NYT staff.
That is not some official news piece that you posted.
How do you figure I'm jealous because I responded to your inane post? If you don't want people to respond to you, then don't post this type of silly bullshit. I've told you before Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof that you are absolutely nothing to be jealous of.
You're a cheap, clusterfucked trollop that most people consider a joke.
And BTW bitch, get a stylist. You need one desperately so that you won't be walking around in public with no brassiere and a fucking blanket wrapped around your head. Walking around looking goofy as hell and smiling.
But I'm jealous?!?!? What Ever shit for brains!!!
Poverty struck looking silly ass wynch. WTF happened to your $2 Korean wig bitch. You need to hurry up and find that motherfucker and stop walking around IN PUBLIC looking like a friggen stupid ass bag lady.
I'm laughing so hard I can barely type!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHATTA JOKE Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof!!!!!!!!!!
As evidenced by the underwhelming response to your previous posts, you should be happy that I responded to your tired ass at all. You should get on your crusty dried up ashy boney chicken legged knees and kiss my fabulous round soft flowery precious Black ass Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof - since no one else around here really gives a fuck about you anyway

http://www.thumperscorner.com/discus/messages/1/17924.html?1163578561
Kiss my Black ass Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof
And if you're becoming such a very wealthy woman, why do you even bother to post this trivial bullshit here? Aren't you out in California Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof? WTF are you doing up at 3:00 a.m. posting this crap? People who are wealthy usually sleep at night with pleasant dreams, instead of sitting up all night sleepless dreaming up fucktarded tactics to promote themselves with.
Saddam's campaign played some Whitney Houston and that's all about YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told you once today but I'll say it again since you have an obvious comprehension problem -
Stop fabricating and hallucinating.
Have a nice day

You are such a hilarious loser whoever you are!
How can you possibly say that the following information isn't a fact?
How can you even attempt to discredit such a respected writer and historian as Slavoj Zizek?
Do you even know who he is or why the N.Y. TIMES would allow him to write an OP ED Piece?
I can't believe that everything Kola Boof said about you is true, she wasn't exaggerating. You're totally jealous and irrational about this woman--you even posted her picture!
What a loser. I can't even laugh this time.
Again, the following is fact that is known the world over:
in the Iraqi elections of October 2002 — in which Saddam Hussein got a 100 percent endorsement, and thus overdid the best Stalinist results of 99.95 percent — the campaign song played again and again on all the state media was Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”

What is your argument with me?
I'm not disputing the fact that Saddam's campaign played Whitney Houston's "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU"
I'm simply questioning what the fuck does that have to do with anything???
What does it have to do with you Nafisa_goma Kola Spoof???
CAN YOU ANSWER THAT???????????????????????
I posted your silly ass picture to emphasize that YOU
ARE NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTHING TO BE JEALOUS OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch her come in and write something else.
Watch the passion and crazed madwoman vitriol that she'll lace it with.
She's more than pathetic, she's hopeless.
And ultimately...beneath me.
It's her posting my photos and life story (per her ugly imagination) after all, not the other way around.
Carry on. Ignore her like ABM and I do.

What decent self-respecting person would ANSWER anything from somebody who spends most their day vomitting over the damned keyboard?
You're trash, Canker-face. Beneath us and not worth our time.
Take this post as a token of Queen Kola's pity, because if there's one thing you can count on....I do pity you.

Your jealous ass would probably shit up your tampon if I told you.
Carry on.
Being irrational and high strung was always your hallmark.

It amuses me that kola boof thinks Mzuri would be jealous of her. A desperate wanna-be like kola is so needy, so attention-starved, so deceitful, so psychopathic that who would want to trade places with her???? Crying "jealousy" is kola's security blanket. It pacifies her and shields her from the reality of the fact that she is not even a big fish in a little pond; she a guppie in a rain drop. drip. drip. drip. Pitiful. Unlike, the frenetic deluded kola boof, Mzuri seems content with the stable life that she has chosen to lead. |

Poor Kola Spoof is sooooo played out. She started this boring thread, and when someone challenges her (it could have been anyone) that is her only defense. People are jealous. Everyone is jealous of Kola Spoof.
But if asked what there is to be jealous of - she can't name one single thing. Not one.
And when she can't dig anything better out of her butt, she tries to play that little ignore mode game, and subsequently starts a whole new thread
DEDICATED TO MZURI!!!
Kola - you need to get your ProZac on. Maybe even your Viagra. Tired wynch!!!
