Sadaam Hussein is a Warm and Cuddly Islamic Snuggle Bunny...

Danny Baldwin · June 21, 2005

...or so the Liberal Media wants you to think.

Richard Pyle of the AP Press is one of the many reporters who are talking about the new issue of GQ Magazine, in which Sadaam Hussein is said to "love Doritos" and "hate Fruit Loops."

Just like a bunch of hardworking Americans, right?

According to the article, Sadaam "admires President Reagan, thinks Clinton was 'OK' and considers both Presidents Bush 'no good.'"

Just like a bunch of hardworking Americans, right?

"Towards the end, he was saying that he doesn't hold any hard feelings and he just wanted to talk to (George W.) Bush, to make friends with him," Spc. Sean O'Shea of Minooka, Pa. says.

Just like a bunch of hardworking Americans, right?

This kills me. That we're putting out garbage that makes The Enemy sound like he's just an average guy who President Bush didn't understand when he invaded his country is utter bullshit. And it'll take a wacked out liberal media to tell you so. But people are believing it if they're continuing to buy this GQ Magazine after what they've heard about it. They support the traderous words of the liberal media, they support The Enemy.

Personifying filth like Sadaam Hussein is plain anti-American; the article never mentions the thousands of people he killed, but it does of course go on to quote one of our soldiers saying "He was like, `You gotta find a good woman. Not too smart, not too dumb. Not too old, not too young. One that can cook and clean."

Oh, so he supports traditional family values now?

Have we forgotten that Sadaam killed his family members?--I don't know about you, but I'm not sure any of them ever cooked and cleaned for him after that.

The article goes on to state"For a time his favorite snack was Cheetos, and when that ran out, Saddam would "get grumpy,'' the story said. One day, guards substituted Doritos corn chips, and Saddam forgot about Cheetos."

Oh, yes, good 'ol Sadaam, always trying new things. He's like a young kid; he just wants to learn right and wrong! Cheetos suck compared to Doritos! It's a good first step! Now maybe he won't be a killer after all!

The fact that American soldiers would talk about this shows that they have spent too much time around him. While I know that, in interviews, several talked about the fact that they never forgot the horror he created and executed, the media is certainly not representing this well, especially in the article I'm referencing for this 'blog entry.

I am truly numbed that any American would publish this in a magazine. Let's give Hussein one right: that of a speedy trial. Then we can fry his good-for-nothing brains out on public-television. None of that Pay-Per-View crap is needed.
