"An interesting story comes out of Kuwait this week: The Reuters News Service says the U.S. confirms Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is suffering from cancer. The story - published in a Kuwaiti weekly - says Washington officials have known about Hussein's illness for three years. American intelligence apparently obtained confirmation on this in February of this year. The U.S. strategy now seems to be waiting out Hussein's illness, as an alternative policy to dealing with Iraq.
Some reports say Hussein has been diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, but Iraqi officials have denied that. However, an entourage of doctors has been flying into Baghdad through Amman, Jordan, presumably to treat Hussein".
