Americans Want Saddam Hideaway
AMERICAN troops plan to ship Saddam's underground hideaway back to the States as a permanent memorial to his capture.

Engineers from the Fourth Infantry Division want to excavate around the seven-foot deep bunker and lift the entire plot by helicopter on to a transporter.

They hope to set it up at their huge military base in Fort Hood, Texas.

2. Let me guess...
They are going to have the spider hole land on an aircraft carrier, carrying a big platter of turkey?

6. OMFG
at what cost? WHY?!?

Give Cheney's damn hidey-hole! Bet its a spot nicer anyway.

The sorriest thing, to me, is that this doesn't sound like an edict from on-high. This is a mid-level brainchild. Which nicely illustrates how indoctrinated by propaganda our citizenry, uniformed or not, have become.

We can't put a shard of debris at the 9.11 memorial, cause we shipped it all overseas or have it tucked away rusting in a hangar, but we can airlift a fucking hole in the ground and venerate it as a national monument.

Will this be the rallying cry of a new generation? Remember the Hole!

I can't stand it.

7. AWOL probably wants to lay in the spider hole, just like he laid
in the coffin during his Skull & Bones initiation. :puke:

8. No no no no no no no no no no no no no
Don't do it.

Saddam isn't important! You want to do something important, build a museuem on U.S. slavery.

10. Article says soldiers are taking Saddam's money
"The soldiers confiscated $1million in US currency from Saddam and his two bodyguards. This will be used to pay for armour-plating army vehicles to boost protection." If they think it's Saddam's then taking it is a war crime. If they think it belongs to the Iraqi people, GIVE IT TO THEM.
