Saddam Son's Palace Has Zoo, Alcohol, Heroin, Nude Photos [New Info]

Odai Hussein's personal zoo has lions, cheetahs and a bear. His storehouse has $1 million of fine wines, liquors and heroin. His house has Cuban cigars, cases of champagne and downloaded pictures of prostitutes.

Sounds like a friend of the high-living ex-marxist president of the USA!

Alcohol is available in virtually all Muslim countries. I guess you haven't read our Bible, but alcohol is also condemned in scripture.

"There were posters of university graduating classes, lending some credence to accusations that Odai scoped out female graduates so he could order them abducted for his sexual pleasure."

Wonder if some of the "graduating classes" were in the United States and if any of the "abductors" were in the same ring as the Iraqi soldiers who helped Timothy McVeigh bomb the Oklahoma City Federal Building?

This could get very, very interesting. I hope they find documentation positively linking Saddam with the OKC Bombing.

Among the photos were those of Jenna and Barbara Bush, the U.S. president's twin 21-year-old daughters, "dressed up very nice in evening clothes," Ballanco said, adding that soldiers took them down "to protect the president."

I bet George and Laura Bush are just really happy about this - NOT!!!!!!!!!

Estimates of Saddam's wealth range from $1billion to more than $20bn. Richard Armitage, the US Deputy Secretary of State, recently put it at $6bn. Whatever the case, it is clear that fresh intelligence could provide Iraq with a much-needed cash windfall. But without new leads from Saddam's defeated regime, most of the loot will almost certainly remain out of reach.

Some of these assets were eye-catching - they included classic cars and an 8.4 per cent stake in Hachette, the French company that publishes Elle.

A prominent figure in this report is Swiss-based Hassam Rassam, whom Kroll says has been suspected of running a pension fund for Saddam's family. It is reported that Rassam, a multi-millionaire, still makes frequent trips to Iraq.

In the early Nineties, Rassam was found to have lavished expensive gifts, including prostitutes, on Michael Allcock, a corrupt Inland Revenue inspector who conducted an investigation into UK-based Iraqis who were suspected of links to Tikriti. Rassam denies any connection to Tikriti, and when asked by this newspaper in 1991 if he was Saddam's banker, he laughed and replied: 'I wish I was.' The new Kroll report also states that large unrecovered quantities of gold, and $7bn in bank notes, believed to include arms bribes to senior Iraqis, were seen in Switzerland in 1991.

Despite the best efforts of America and Britain, oil has also remained a major source of wealth for the regime. Saddam has made about $2bn a year by imposing a surcharge on every barrel of oil sold under the UN's oil-for-food programme, according to the Coalition for International Justice.

"And, I thought the religion of peace did not condone the use of drugs and alcohol??????? Well, I guess it does after all!"

BWWaaahHaaaa!

You don't even know the tip of the iceberg on that one!

The wealthy of Islam have been in the sex-slave business for hundreds and hundreds of years - often kidnapping beautiful women from foreign countries.

You must remember, that in Islam, women are BOUGHT as wives (does this give you any idea).

Even in this article, it refers to the "graduation class" pictures. I'll be real interested in seeing what countries those were from.

The Saudis are famous for kidnapping (not just women, but BOYS as well)!

To one side, a gaudy house filled with bedrooms that is now a camp for U.S. soldiers appears to have been a harem.

For the wilder animals, soldiers have been throwing in sheep from a nearby pen, said Spc. Pete Adams.

Ok, I can put two and two together...

[Happy2BMe]

"I wonder what PETA thinks about this? Maybe they should be feeding those cheetas soyburgers instead."

Do you sense a Dan Rather documentary coming on . . .?

Where are the antiwar and human rights protestors when you need them (barf).

Sounds like a typical LA, Calif. Hollywood actor mogul lawyer drug dealer crooked politican or grafting contractor with ties to organized crime...

The Husseins are to Islam as the Clintons are to Southern Baptists.

That about nails IT!

[FirstTomato]

Don't forget the Turks. Big slave traders, specialized in kidnapping young blonde girls of Europe for their harems. Ever notice how many blue-eyed Turks there are?

And, I thought the religion of peace did not condone the use of drugs and alcohol???????

That was probably for his concubines. If I had to be anywhere near Odai, I would need all the alcohol I could drink and all the heroin I could shoot.
