1. No idea, but what crucial info -- Saddam prefers Doritos to Cheetos!

I'm sure the manufacturers will be delighted at his endorsement. Didn't we hear that he had a Snickers car in his hideout when he was captured?

IS THIS WAR ALL ABOUT PRODUCT PLACEMENT???

2. Good point. Maybe it's all bullshit and these 2 guys are
getting a little something to promote the story. Who would know? This administration wouldn't have a problem....it trivializes Saddam by morphing him into a mindless American consumer. And these guys get their few minutes of fame and some walk around cash. Of course, PepsiCo can start a huge advertising campaign using some Saddam look-alike in his underway trying to decide if he likes Fritos or Cheetos better.

Gawd, I'm getting more cynical by the minute..

8. He misses his old
friend, Reagan!! He loves freetos, he eats a big bag in 10 minutes and he loves cuban cigars. He thinks he's still president of Iraq and will be going back to his palace as soon as he gets out. Sounds like his mind is gone!



I guess Freepers will be running around talking about how great we treat Saddam, the evil dictator.

12. I've heard actually that the pictures were framegrabs...
He's under video surveillence. So technically the pictures weren't "taken", but those images were culled and released.
