An oldie, but I thought a revisit due given Saddam's claim of mistreatment.

[rocksblues]

and cares for birds in his prison yard.

The bird man of Alcatraz was not a nice person either!

[Thombo2]

"I'm still president of the country."I can't believe he's serious.Maybe when he's standing on the gallows with a noose around his neck,he'll realize the game is up:(

[RockinRight]

I think Saddam had a bit of a reality check in there, but he's still a delusional madman.

[GSlob]

Would it be that difficult to make his toilet to back up now and then?

[silent_jonny]

He liked to snack on Cheetos, until someone brought him a bag of Doritos, which he took silently into a corner and ate in a hurry.

LOL

I don't think Doritos will be using that in their commercials.

[silent_jonny]

Would it be that difficult to make his toilet to back up now and then?

They could cover the bowl with cellophane--but that might be considered torture.

[Meadow Muffin]

Maybe he ought to be made to clean ALL the toilets at the prison where he is kept. And how about taking away his bird and Doritos, then apply some "electrical medicine" to his private parts for an hour each day, then let about 10 people in a day whose families were killed, to wear him out with a rubber hose....then, oh well I could go on. But for me a quick trial and a quick execution so he can be with Tookie would be ok also.

[roamincadillac]

Probably being advised to act like a loopy old man that does'nt deserve capital punishment. Maybe he'll write some childrens books.

[USNBandit]

US President Ronald Reagan - who used to sell Iraq planes and helicopters, he remembered - had died.

WTF! Let me guess, Ronald Reagan was running a side business selling Migs, Mirage F1's, Hips, and Hinds to Saddam Hussein. What a bunch of crap.

[plain talk]

Will they use the noose or the sword on him?

[Thombo2]

Good question.They do have a tradition of beheading over there.I just hope they won't let em wimp out with lethal injection.

[armymarinemom]

Ahhh Cheeto's . AMD drives a FL truck. An employee at one of his grocery stores decided to play a joke on AMD and put a sign on the back of his truck saying "Saddam Loves These Chips". AMD didn't notice the sign until he got back to the warehouse.
How bad can anyone be treated if they have a favorite junk food in custody?

[Thombo2]

Wouldn't it be great if Iraq made it a pay per-view event?I'd shell out a few bucks to see it.

[reagan_fanatic]

WTF! Let me guess, Ronald Reagan was running a side business selling Migs, Mirage F1's, Hips, and Hinds to Saddam Hussein. What a bunch of crap.

Yea, the U.S. was really flooding Iraq with weaponry, wasn't it? Just another damnable media-fostered lie.

[Reaganesque]

Hmmm, could Sadam be related to Ron White?

Ron White: I was sitting on a bean bag chair, naked, eating Cheetos the other day when Robert Tilton came on TV. He's a televangelist out of Dallas.

He looked at me and said, "Are you lonely?"

Yeah.

"Have you spent half your life in bars pursuing sins of the flesh?"

This guy's good!

"Are you sitting in a bean bag chair naked eating Cheetos?"...

Yes, sir!

"Do you have the urge to get up and send me a thousand dollars?"

Ha, ha close! I thought he was talking about me there for a second!

[Owl558]

"Ronald Reagan was running a side business selling Migs, Mirage F1's, Hips, and Hinds to Saddam Hussein. What a bunch of crap."

Yeah, this pegged my BS meter too. It never happened. It's just a furthurance of the "we armed Saddam" leftie myth. Totally Orwellian BS.

[confederate_infidel]

He liked to snack on Cheetos, until someone brought him a bag of Doritos, which he took silently into a corner and ate in a hurry.

Sounds like a rat hoarding food.(oh wait, it is!)
I can just imagine him squatting in a corner, nibbling a dorito chip, his eyes darting side to side, snapping at anyone who tries to take those chips...just like my chihuahua.

[dighton]

He did not want a treadmill that guards installed in his cell, asking instead for a table-tennis table. The request was turned down.

There's your smoking gun for torture.

;-)

[Petronski]

If I was in prison, I'd turn down a table-tennis table in my cell. I'd demand a tennis court in my cell.

Or an Olympic-size swimming pool, in my cell.
