Bubba has lost what little mind he has. Saddam didn't have anyone in his circle who wasn't a rotten gangster. Yes they were making the best of the situation: a sort of protection (not much) for them and their families and access to whatever goodies were available in Iraq, all at the expense of other Iraqis. They are criminals.
Hitler and Stalin's toadies and flunkies were probably really good and decent people too, right Bubba? What a fool.
Oh that Geobbles, what a cut up. Good card player too. Gee whiz.
