Iraq

Sammy sez maim Izzat al-Douri

2006-03-29

Saddam Hussein: "All 'Izzat Al-Douri ever wanted was to address the Iraqis as their leader, even if just for a few short minutes. Everybody remembers that he once addressed the Iraqi Women's Union without my knowledge. Do you know what I did to him?"

Interviewer: "We don't know. Tell us"...

Saddam Hussein: "The first thing I did when they brought him was to spit in his face."

Interviewer: "Why?"

Saddam Hussein: "I said to him: 'You despicable man, I spit on your owl's face. How do you address these glorious women without me knowing about it?'"
HEY! I like owls!

"I'm the one who gets the babes around here!"

"The only one who makes speeches in Iraq is the ~~fearless~~ supreme leader - meaning me.

"I am the head cheese around here! You are gorgonzola, at best!"

"At this point 'Izzat Al-Duri pulled out his handkerchief and ~~blubbered~~ cried. I said to him: 'Look 'Izzat, this time I forgive you, but I swear by my honor, and the honor of the history of the Arab nation, that if you ever repeat this mistake I will cut your tongue off.'"
My! THEY were certainly close buddies! [/SARCASM]

Wotta sweet guy.

Interviewer: "And now he has repeated this mistake, as you call it, and has published a statement addressed to the [Arab League] summit, as was mentioned on one of the television stations."

Saddam Hussein: "I didn't hear the speech, because I'm in prison."
"Noone tells me anything!"

"Even though I am in prison, I don't allow anyone to speak on my behalf, so long as I live. I am still the president."
See picture at left.

"They're gonna call him Izzy No-Tongue soon's my hard boyz hear about it!"

"Internet... Whatever... I give speeches without fearing anyone. I give speeches face to face..."

"I ain't a-scared o' nuttin'!"

Interviewer: "You're in prison. How can you give speeches?"

Saddam Hussein: "That's a good question. You watch the court sessions. How many sessions have there been so far? Fifteen sessions?"

Interviewer: "Seventeen."

Saddam Hussein: "I give a speech at every single session. If I don't give speeches, I get heartburn.

"... or maybe it's the chili. I'm not sure..."

"If 'Izzat Al-Duri is alive and he can hear me, I want to address him, through you, and to tell him to beware. Isn't this a disgrace? The leader of the Arabs - 'Izzat Al-Duri speaks on his behalf?! 'Izzat Al-Duri doesn't even know how to stand at attention. He should speak on behalf of Saddam Hussein? Any speech that doesn't receive my signature is unofficial, illegitimate, and illegal... He should beware and shut up. Why does he make speeches and exploit state funds? I left the funds under your responsibility. Billions of dollars... I left you the funds and you should use them properly. He goes and blows up mosques, markets, and schools."

"The man's an absolute loon!... Ummm... Unlike me."

"I know that people who listen to me might think that Saddam Hussein has become apathetic in prison and stopped supporting terrorism. No. I'm not ashamed to tell you that Iraq without Saddam Hussein isn't worth two bits. Therefore, it will make me happy if Iraq turns into dust."
Sounding like Hitler in his final days, methinks.
Interviewer: "This reminds me that in one of your speeches, you said that you would leave Iraq a country without a people."

Saddam Hussein: "What is the people worth without Saddam Hussein?! What is it worth? Iraq is entirely Saddam Hussein. 'Long live Iraq' means 'long live Saddam Hussein.' What is Iraq worth without Saddam Hussein?"
A great deal.
Interviewer: "You keep on with those slogans? You still cling to them..."

Saddam Hussein: "I was brought up on it. How do you want me to go back on this? Iraqis hear these things about me as soon as they come out of their mothers' wombs. I repeat: Iraq without Saddam Hussein isn't worth two bits. Therefore, it will make me happy if Iraq turns into ashes. I call to punish 'Izzat Al-Duri, because he burned my heart."
What, fried the muscle!?

I'm guessing it was the chili.

Interviewer: "Why, because he published a statement without your permission?"

Saddam Hussein: "He gave a speech without me knowing it. The punishment that I want for him is to cut off his tongue and ears."
I guess being a control freak comes with the territory when you're a tyrant.
Interviewer: "Why cutting off his tongue and ears?"

Saddam Hussein: "To make him the same as all the renegades whose tongues and ears I cut off. And if 'Izzat Al-Duri continues giving speeches in sign language, like the deaf do, I demand that his hands be cut off. And so on and so forth, until 'Izzat Al-Duri is finished, and we get rid of this degenerate."

There's a operetta in here somewhere...

#3 "If I don't give speeches, I get heartburn."

Now that's the first cogent thing Soddy has said!

But WOW!

Interviewer: "Why cutting off his tongue and ears?"

Saddam Hussein: "To make him the same as all the renegades whose tongues and ears I cut off. And if 'Izzat Al-Duri continues giving speeches in sign language, like the deaf do, I demand that his hands be cut off. And so on and so forth, until 'Izzat Al-Duri is finished, and we get rid of this degenerate."

(unpublished I believe by the MSM for obvious reasons) LOL...
And I have saved every tounge and ear, and when you find that secret vault with a hermetically sealed chamber in one of my palaces, you will see jar upon jar mounted on the wall, with the name of the former owner of those ears and tongues.
Some folks collect butterflies, I collect ears and tongues.
