Also, I'm told he really loved Doritos. Such a terrible waste.

[doug from upland]

Oh, yeah. He was such a quiet neighbor. He once gave my son a football. He helped a grandmother across the street. But then, there was that shredder thing.

[Alouette]

Some people say that I'm a bad guy
They may be right, they may be right!
But its not as if I dont try
I just f*** up!
Try as I might.

But I can change, I can change!!!
I can learn to keep my promises, I swear it!
I'll open up my heart and I will share it!
Any minute now I will be born again!

Yes I can change, I can change!!!
I know I've been a sodding little bastard
La la la la la lalala!
*hectic*
I like to kill, I like to mate, a seventh saint, but ITS OK
CAUSE I CAN CHANGE!!!!!!!
*sigh*

Its not my fault that Im so evil
Its society, society.
You see, my parents were sometimes abusive
And it made a prick of me!

But I can change, I can change!
I can learn to keep my promises I know it!
La la la la la lalala!!
I'll open up my heart and I will show it!
Any minute now I will be born again!

Satan: But what if you never change?
What if you remain a sandy little butthole?

Saddam:Hey Satan!
Dont be such a twit
Mother Teresa wont have shit on me!
Just watch, just watch me change here I go Im changing!!!
Hey!
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!!!
Ah!

*whistling solo*
Dee da tlee ta tlee ta tlee tlaa tlaa...
Heeeeeeey Satan!

Don't forget that Hitler was a vegetarian and a teetotaler. The Fuhrer could not abide cruelty to animals. He was also very friendly to children. In many respects, the man responsible for murdering millions of his fellow humans would have fit in nicely among modern liberals.

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

[Chi-townChief]

Oh yeah - the guy was a regular St. Francis the Sissy.

[L98Fiero]

That was good. :)

I believe the nurse had Stockholm Syndrome.

I know this may be hard for freepers to believe, but I suspect the reporter is manipulating the quotes in this story to presnnt a certain point of view.

Other news articles have quoted this medical soldier also, and they don't paint such a positive picture of Saddam.

[theDentist]

He had a pamphlet that he wrote in every day...

A list of names of those to be fed into the plastics shredder, no doubt.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein was an avid reader, fed birds and told jokes while he was in US custody

No kidding? Sounds like a better life than murdering people. Apparently being deposed and captured was the best thing that ever happened to him, as well as his people - a pity it didn't happen sooner.

[Vaquero]

I don't suppose he will be singing Oh Tannenbaum along with Adolf?

[SmithL]

qualis artifex pereo

[ChiMark]

I never hurt anyone in my whole life. When I said Saddam's
execution was too humane I was called evil.

[tubasonum]

"Yes, now he can expand on his benevolence by feeding the worms."

BRIILIANT, Brilliant!

[theDentist]

In days of my youth
when life was fresh
I'd a friend named al-Nekedder
We shared our joys
our hopes and dreams
then I had him thown into a plastics shredder.

Bird and children, children and birds
so innocent and easy to feed
If not for the fact that these birds can fly
I'd feed them into a plastics shredder.

Accused stand I of crimes immoral
of war and death and destruction
Oh how little of power they know,
it's copious blood of seduction.

.... that drips out of my plastic shredder.

In days of old when men were bold
and shredders weren't invented
Torture and rape room and prisons for young
would amuse me until shredders were invented. -S. Hussein.

"...He refused to be fed like a lion," Ellis said..."

Well, I can certainly understand that. If there is anyone who has seen the effects of lions and eating, it would have to be him.

[AngieGOP]

"And Hitler loved Eva ... so what?"

Hitler was also a vegetarian and loved dogs. He just wasn't a Jewish people person.

[HKMk23]

BACKGROUND MUSIC! WHERE is the background music?

You know; Vivaldi's "Spring"?

Ya can't have a big "Oooooooh" story without Vivaldi!

Oh, yeah, and the graphic of Saddam in his tutu. Gotta have that in there, too.

[stevie_d_64]

Trying.......to......squuueeeeeze...........tear...........

uggg...Not going to happen...

[dirtboy]

Gawd, this MSM nonsense just makes me all misty-eyed.

Just like passing a kidney stone would.
