Captive Saddam misses Ronald Reagan (not Clinton)

I guess Saddam would rather have Reagan back in office rather than the "appeaser" Bill Clinton. Hmmm...

"I don't like them Bushes. Reagan was a good guy. He could tell jokes and if you're fighting those commies then you can have everything you want."

Well at least he says that it's the whole Bush clan which is rotten and not just "W"

Wisdom for Saddam

"You gotta find a good woman. Not too smart, not too dumb. Not too old, not too young. In the middle. One that can cook and clean. Then you thank her, and you go..."

And the night before the wedding he'll send you some prostitutes

7. Ah, the Stockholm Syndrome . . .

The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological state in which the victims of a kidnapping, or persons detained against their free will – prisoners – develop a relationship with their captor(s). This solidarity can sometimes become a real complicity, with prisoners actually helping the captors to achieve their goals or to escape police.

The syndrome develops out of the victim's attempts to relate to his or her captor or gain the kidnapper's sympathy.

5. Reagan was Saddam's weapons connection

Of course he's got fond memories of Ronnie.

Reagan sold him chemical weapons and all sorts of cool stuff so he could fight Iran and terrorize the Shiites and the Kurds--whats not to love.

Poppy Bush stabbed him in the back and Junior, and the same band of war criminals who helped Ronnie get him all the lethal swag, came in booted his murdering ass out of power and proceded to gut what was left of his country.

It's a falling out among theives and murderers here.

8. Bingo, I just googled "reagan saddam weapons" too. raygun and sadist were

quite chummy at the time.

Make a friend, betray the friend, kill the friend. That's okay, we're all just friends.

6. Reagan was Saddam's weapons connection

Of course he has fond memories of ol' Ronnie.

Ronald Reagan sold him chemical and biological weapons and other lethal swag so he could fight Iran and didn't complain when he used those weapons on the Kurds and Shiites.

Poppy Bush stabbed him in the back and then Junior and Rummy and Cheney and the rest of the gang who'd helped Reagan get him his arsenal invaded Iraq, tossed his ass in prison and gutted what was left of his country.

This is a falling out among theives and murderers.
