Yeah, I was bemused by all that. I see now the military folks're all "Er, yeah, Geneva Conventions, we should be treating him right, this shouldn't have happened, how dare anyone say otherwise, hmph."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so mad at you now.

Check out the unit on that guy!

god, pants is such a fun word to say!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

And I always took him for more of a boxers kind of guy...

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I always took him for a steel chastity belt kinda guy.

Saddam actually looks pretty fit, but it's hard to tell from the pic.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Skiddy knickers.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't kick him out of bed for being a despot.

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Funny, Satan doesn't LOOK Canadian...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

hey, are they allowing him access to hair dye? He was quite grey when he was captured!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ew, Saddam dying his treasure trail.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 20 May 2005 16:59 (twenty-one years ago)

...the part of Saddam Hussein will now be played by Andy Garcia...

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I read somewhere that in fact he was being allowed such dye access.

In any event, he's suing:

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Other pictures show him washing his trousers, shuffling around and sleeping.

It's a good life.

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder if he gets free cable access and a PlayStation.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

"It's important that the people of Iraq see him like that to destroy the myth," the paper's source was quoted as saying.

The myth about him not washing his pants?

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

They didn't know that he too put them on one leg at a time?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:08 (twenty-one years ago)

They didn't know he had WMDs in his shorts?

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Wang of Massive Dimensions?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Willy of Moist Destination?

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 17:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Free Willy!!!

OTOH, it is a Weiner of Mideast Dictator, so maybe not.

DUDE! Whatever Satan is, he's not Canadian!

I'm having trouble seeing the leash in that picture.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Good God, X-POST.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahah

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Is he looking in a sack in that photo? What's in the bag Grandpa?

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

kenan, as far as Saddam's unit, how the hell can you tell? I just see overly sized whities.

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha, take that, Saddam! How's it feel now that you're the one who's, umm, you know, wearing underwear? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

(There were these guys on my train this morning trying really hard to get some satisfaction out of this, but it really is hard to get excited about a picture of a middle-aged man folding his slacks.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Is he on Big Brother? *cue ominous music*

That Saddam pic is actually a screenshot leak from an upcoming episode of Chaotic.

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 20 May 2005 17:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it that a Qu'ran in the cell toilet?

"They said they were gonna hang Saddam, but apparently he's already pretty hung."

cymbals crashing!

― msp (mspa), Friday, 20 May 2005 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

is that headline supposed to be a play on 'ants in his pants'? Surely the english don't pronounce it ty-RANTS?

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 20 May 2005 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I like reading it as 'tyrants in his pants' and thinking of underwear gnomes though.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 20 May 2005 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

The Daily News went with something like "Butcher of SAGdad," which, dude: like the headline staff over at the Daily News is in better shape than this?

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 20 May 2005 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

(But he's not in his pants!)

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 20 May 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

What's in his pants? Only Hans Blix knows, and he doesn't kiss & tell.

― Huk-L, Friday, 20 May 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i find the picture rather funny, but of course this is only going to make shit worse in arab countries. you can consider that whole newsweek blowup earlier this week ancient history now.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 21 May 2005 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm sure someone else has stated this upthread, but I just find the whole thing pathetic and sleazy. I mean, I'm not making apologies for Saddam, but in the wake of the thousands of deaths as a result of this ridiculous war, coupled with countless PR failures regarding our image on 'the Arab Street,' this just makes the United States look like classless, idiotic yahoos.....and if the shoe fits, kick someone with it.

Sickeing.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 21 May 2005 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

SickeNing, even.

I just find the whole thing pathetic and sleazy
The Sun in 'pathetic and sleazy' shocker! You do know this is a national newspaper that carries a picture of a bird with her tits out (Sun reader phraseology there) on page 3 of every issue?

Their editor said these pictures were the 21st century equivalent of finding pictures of Hitler in his bunker as Berlin fell.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Sunday, 22 May 2005 10:21 (twenty-one years ago)

this just makes the United States look like classless, idiotic yahoos

b-b-but the Sun isn't American!

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 22 May 2005 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Who supplied the photos though?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Sunday, 22 May 2005 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I betcha they'll find a way to pin this on Lynndie.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAH!!

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 22 May 2005 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

You see, this is only going to encourage the newspapers in other nations to flaunt the Geneva Conventions and show pictures of our soliders in their underwear.

Which, as am sure Andrew Sullivan would agree, would be pretty HOT.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 22 May 2005 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

haw today's headline "Bush probes Saddam's pants", thank you Sun, you haven't let me down

HAHA omg i didn't even notice that the first time!!
