Kuwaiti in talks to buy Saddam's 'noose'

[Tuesday_Morning]

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. What the hell? Is the guy planning to build...

...a "Saddamland" theme park? I thought Michael Jackson trying to buy the Elephant Man was weird, but this takes the cake.

2. Just the American Way

In fact, he'll probably pay a kickback to the Bush family of 10%. The American way.

3. The noose would be kind of weird,

but I would definitely want the statue head. Who am I kidding, I'd take the noose too. I would just have to decide if I should use it as a dog toy or Ebay it.

5. It could be studied for use against W

for what he has done to innocents. The Bush family would still want their 10%.

4. A lot of sick F***s out there. n/t

6. Maybe he could actually help someone w/the money...

:puke:

Not that Iraq didn't do some nasty things to Kuwait in the Gulf War.
