U.S Soldiers Charged With Guarding Saddam/Speaks

[ls317]

Saddam Hussein is terrified of germs, eats Raisin Bran for breakfast, and still thinks he is the president of Iraq, according to a group of young American soldiers who guarded the deposed Iraqi leader after his capture.

Five soldiers from a Pennsylvania National Guard unit were given permission by the Pentagon to speak to the American edition of GQ magazine. The guardsmen were activated for duty in late 2003 before being assigned to guard Saddam after his capture that December.

They found a friendly and talkative "clean freak", who did his own laundry and advised one young guardsman that he should settle down and get married. "‘You gotta find a good woman. Not too smart, not too dumb. Not too old, not too young. One that can cook and clean," he told the soldier.

1. Wow

Unreal that GQ would write a story about Saddam likes and dislikes while in custody. I am sure that they could have found something more intresting to write as a cover story?

7. Is that legal?

4. Not really. Based on his trial date makeover, I'd say Saddam's a GQ man

Lots of fascists are dapper dressers... Hitler, Mussolini, Franco. Why should Rumsfeld's buddy be any less natty?
