Those who refuse to leave are stupid because the guest is no one else but President Saddam Hussein.

Over the years, Saddam has made up various preemptive(先發(fā)制人的) plans to confuse(使困惑) assassins(刺客). It is not until the night falls that the Iraqi President, owner of dozens of residences(住所), will decide where to stay for the night.

多少年來，薩達(dá)姆為了迷惑刺客，精心設(shè)計(jì)了多種防范方案。只有到夜幕降臨后，擁有幾十處住所的伊拉克總統(tǒng)，才決定到某一處就寢。無論是召開內(nèi)閣會(huì)議，接見軍事顧問，還是會(huì)見外國貴賓，他也常常遵循同樣規(guī)則：只有到最后一秒鐘，才決定開會(huì)的地點(diǎn)和會(huì)議開始時(shí)間。
Saddam has survived(幸存) over 20 coups(政變) and assassination(暗殺) attempts(企圖). Once his childhood friend came to his presidential office and found his palace with the help of an officer. When he appeared, Saddam asked: "How did you find me?" The poor officer was killed immediately.
