Saddam apparently hitting the bottle for breakfast
Saddam Hussein apparently believes he’s the only man capable of bringing stability to Iraq. Sure he is. Assuming you define stability as the consistency of belief that you and your family can be killed at any moment on the whim of some sadistic psycho. Your daughter, of course, will be raped repeatedly before she’s killed, but at least they’re consistent.
His lawyer relates this lovely little gem:
Al-Dulaimi said Saddam brought up the topic during a meeting Tuesday, and indicated he would be willing to help the United States — “for the sake of saving both peoples — the Iraqis and Americans.”
Welllllllll, isn’t that precious? Saddam is all concerned about saving Iraqis and Americans. And who wouldn’t believe that? I mean all he did was order the executions of thousands of Iraqis and offer shelter and assistance to people whose explicitly stated mission in life is to kill Americans. Shows a real compassion, don’t it?
Save your concern for yourself, Saddam. You’re gonna need it.
