AP reports: “Saddam Hussein loves Doritos, hates Froot Loops, admires President Reagan, thinks Clinton was “OK” and considers both Presidents Bush “no good.” He talks a lot, worries about germs and insists he is still president of Iraq.”

Wonder what he thinks about Michael Jackson? They both share a sense of delusion.

“Those and other details of the deposed Iraqi leader’s life in U.S. military custody appear in the July issue of GQ magazine, based on interviews with five Pennsylvania National Guardsmen who went to Iraq in 2003 and were assigned to Saddam’s guard detail for nearly 10 months.”

Maybe if GQ personalizes Saddam, he’ll start getting some sympathy. Who knows? Nothing surprises.

Saddam was friendly toward his young guards and sometimes offered fatherly advice. When O’Shea told him he was not married, Saddam “started telling me what to do,” recalled the soldier. “He was like, ‘You gotta find a good woman. Not too smart, not too dumb. Not too old, not too young. One that can cook and clean.’”

That’s touching. Might win him some votes in the Middle East, but probably not in America.
