post-pleadings for his trial, saddam hussein apparently got into a brawl with his guards. and, you know, this is exactly the kid of shit that is going to totally get my ass fired some day, but: look at him! looooook aaaat heeeeem, heeee’s soooo cuuuuuuteeee! like an ol’ scruffy puppy or something. sure, sure, perhaps this scruffy puppy ruled with an iron fist (and a jaunty beret) back in his heyday, but honestly…he’s just a lil old man, now. he doesn’t have anyone to oppress or whatever anymore, so maybe they should just let him quietly spend out the rest of his days with his quran and his bag of doritos.
i mean, gw bush has never, never ever looked even the slightest bit non-offensive; no where any way close to remotely adoreable. adorable is a mere dot on the horizon of a dot on the horizon in regards to the ol’ stupid monkeyface. and the trial proceedings/updates that filter out into mass media don’t necessarily paint saddam in a bad light. of course, media is anything but biased these days, but whatever.
this, however, gives me pause:
Saddam was ousted after U.S.-led forces swept into Iraq in March 2003 and marched in to Baghdad. He fled the capital and was on the run for nearly eight months until American forces found in him hiding in a cellar in a rural area outside his hometown of Tikrit north of Baghdad on Dec. 13, 2003.
has it really been nearly two years? really and truly? over two years since america weaseled its way in and “heroically” saved poor, destitute iraq (and it’s poor, destitute oil reserves) from the tyrannical reign of saddam?
damn.
