Businessman ready to pay any amount of money

KUWAIT CITY: A well-known Kuwaiti businessman is negotiating hard to own the noose which hung ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to death.

Reliable sources say the businessman's representatives have asked the Iraqi Ministry of Interior Affairs to sell the rope to them.

The businessman is apparently ready to pay any amount of money for the noose. According to sources, it is with Shiite leader Muqtada Al-Sadr and the businessman's representatives are negotiating with him.

The businessman had earlier purchased the vandalized statue of Saddam Hussein which stood at Al-Firdous Square in Baghdad. Sources say he obtained the statue through American representatives and exhibits the head of the statue in his diwaniya (sitting room).

1. Now, you know that the noose is going to Georgie
To put in his Presidential Library.

The Kuwaiti Businessman can forget about any deal he is trying to make.

2. I like that we Am. have sent our values world wide. It can be

3. I have the original noose ...
... and I'm putting it on eBay.

Not to worry, though. When it sells, I have another to put on eBay.

Buy the black scarf they put around his neck, and save on extra shipping charges.



This is also all our fault. If GHWB just left things to sort themselves out, there would be no war, no Kuwait, no wacky Kuwaiti businessman, no noose, no 3000 dead american servicemen and women.
