I have been watching a video about the Gulf War, produced by Frontline and PBS. In this video, I have heard Saddams claim that we were in for the Mother of all Battles. He used the Mother of .... theme several times during the war, as you recall. Anyway, I am wondering if that is a middle-Eastern thing? Before 1990, I had never heard the Mother of ... mantra before. Any linguists or historians out there that could give a history of that phrase? Id be interested in learning something here.
