Saddam misses conservative icon Ronald Reagan.
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 06:07 PM by LoZoccolo
The jailed former Iraqi leader described how Reagan, who was president during the time of Iraq's 1980-88 war with Iran, sold him planes and helicopters. "Reagan and me, good,"' Saddam said, according to the article by Lisa DePaulo in the July issue that goes on sale June 28.

"He said, 'I wish things were like when Ronald Reagan was still president,"' said one of the soldiers who guarded him.

Wasn't there a push by conservatives to put Ronald Reagan on the dime? Why do these Saddam-lovers want to mess around with our money, and put the friend of a mass-grave-digger on it?

5. Saddam praised Clinton too though not as strongly
You know that's what the SCLM and wingnuts will focus on.
