I see London I see France, I see Saddam's Underpants

[Headache in a Suitcase]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - British and American newspapers published photos Friday showing an imprisoned Saddam Hussein clad only in his underwear and washing his laundry, prompting an angry U.S. military to launch an investigation and the Red Cross to say the pictures may violate the Geneva Conventions.

There is absoultely no need to show him in in his underwear. The only thing this will do is infuriate people who already want to kill us.

Send the dude some boxers!

The people who want to "kill us" are already infuriated and will act on their hatred regardless of the Saddam picture.

I'm not so sure I like this. I'll be damned if I care about Saddam, but if it's a violation of the Geneva Conventions I think someone has screwed up.

I think you guys are all missing the most important point here.....



Sadam is hung like a bull.

Well, nbc when will you learn that this is not the way to win the hearts and minds of muslims. Personaly i don`t care if he is shown in underwear ( jesus in nailed to the cross almost nude also ) but this will rage muslims again. Is this the way the western world is showing their civilisation to the babaric muslims ?



It not about how we see it, it is importaint to learn how different cultures would see it.

Muslims have no need to be offended by the picture of Saddam. I'm not saying they won't be, but they shouldn't be. He was a secular leader who killed more Muslims than Christians in his reign of terror.

I rate the title of this thread 5 stars.

Small entertainment for small minds I guess.

Yeah, you know that Osama denounced Saddam as an "infidel" in one of those tapes that he's put out. The only Muslims who liked Saddam were some of the Sunnis in Iraq; not all Iraqi Sunnis liked Saddam, either. It would be terrible if they'd put something Koranic on that tabloid, but they didn't.

Headache,

Your subpoena is in the mail.

Saddam to sue over prison photos
Saddam Hussein plans to take legal action after a British newspaper published photos of him half-naked in his prison cell and doing his washing.

"We will sue the newspaper and everyone who helped in showing these pictures," said Saddam Hussein's chief lawyer, Robert Shapiro speaking from Brentwood.

 

[coemgen]

That's probably not all that's in the mail...

 

[BVS]

Well we know one place where he's not hiding any WMDs.

 

[A_Wanderer]

He looks a lot thinner when not wearing layers of Kevlar.

 

[sharky]

I'm going to sue whoever made me look at that picture. Thank gawd no one put one of Bush like that on the cover of the NY Post.

Very true.

I think the whole Saddam pictures thing is a side issue, and won't make much difference one way or the other.

 

[Irvine511]

i think we can now assume that Saddam's murderous regime was, in fact, a means of overcompensation.

much like Hitler and his single tesitcle.

saddam really should switch to boxers... he's harming his sperm count

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I always figured him to be a thong guy

Flight Suit. "Mission Accomplished" nonsense.

think the presidential "bulge" wasn't a deliberate decision?

 

[Teta040]

Like we really WANT to help his sperm count, Headache. His sons were complete ...thnak God I can write WERE, past tense.

And tight trousers don't necessarily harm anybody's sperm count. If that were true Bono would be sterile. He's the walking example of years of tight trou.

*thinks back to 2 nights ago..OH DEAR...*
