A French architect designed Saddam's new billion dollar mosque.
Monumental ego: a model of Saddam's planned mosque. It will be the world's largest. Currently under construction. Total estimated cost exceeds One Billion dollars. The model itself fills a large meeting room at an estimated cost of $500,000.00. French architect, Jacques Barriere, has been commissioned to design the structure, which will cover an area near Baghdad the size of 12 football pitches. It will be surrounded by a moat in which the crowning touch will be an island formed in the shape of Saddam's thumb, with the ground contoured exactly to match the leader's fingerprint. "It is so that when God looks down on this mosque he will see Saddam too," said Soler.

It's a mosque, huh? Bears a strange resemblance to a baby milk factory.

Excellent - that should make it easier to identify his remains if we have a nice, high-quality satellite photo of his thumbprint....

After seeing that picture of Sadaam's billion dollar whorehouse, I'm thinking we should wait for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to unleash hell. Bitchin' target!
Weapons free...coming down!!!

French architect, Jacques Barriere, has been commissioned to design the structure... That was an obvious misspelling. It should read "Derriere"!

Nice model. I can't wait for the IDF to bomb it to smithereens just a few days before it opens.

Looks like on very ripe target for bombing! LOL

When we are done with it , God will look down and see a crusty brown hole, and he will recognize Saddam then too.

A French architect designed Saddam's new billion dollar mosque. In a few weeks it will be a glass parking lot...

A French architect designed Saddam's new billion dollar mosque. Seems like a great target for a $50,000 daisey cutter.

Hmmm, looks almost like a nuclear power plant. The containment dome, the cooling towers...
(OK, I give up! What am I doing wrong in trying to post this image???) (I know to kill the spaces)...
