The Saddam Hussein Show

[Grasshopper27]

This is funny, well worth reading if you want an insight into TV in Iraq.

I would love to watch a few episodes of this, if for no other reason than entertainment and a few laughs...

I have to wonder how seriously Saddam takes himself. If he belives the BS he spews out or not...

Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein speaks to his war cabinet in Baghdad in this image from television. Saddam has lately assumed a prominent role on the Iraqi television news, imparting a cool diligence to the nation of 23 million people.

Not that I agree w/ anything Saddam has to say, but doesn't every country try to make their news appear unbiased Hopper?

Yes, of course... I'm not bashing him for it, just amused by it...

We don't get a chance to see any of this on normal American TV, which is a shame. I'd get a kick out of watching some of this stuff, if for no other reason than to see what the Iraqi people see.

Yea, I know... I was just as surprised to hear it as you!

Those human shields were also a bit surprised so I hear, they have mostly left due to "safety concerns".

Darn it, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times, don't trust evil madmen with that sort of thing.

I know, I know. It's just that he said pretty please with sugar on top....I thought he had turned over a new leaf.

Hmm, I was expecting a cool little desk, a small band, and cool Iraqi Celebrity guests. Perhaps my heart hoped for too much.

I wonder if he's seen the South Park movie?
