Author’s note: Saddam offered his condolences on 9-11, which may well have been sincere given he had nothing to do with it
Saddam Hussein announced today that the expressions of sympathy for the US he made just after 9-11 were inappropriate and that he was now withdrawing them. “Frankly, I’m just bloody pissed off with them. Did I ever get any invites to any memorial services? No. I just get a load of weapons inspectors marching around here with not so much as a by-your-leave destroying our missiles. Their President calls me rude names all the time. What have I ever done to him? And did I ever get a thank you for that “In deepest sympathy” card I sent? Did I, buggery. It was a really nice one too, not some cheapie one from the newsagent down the road. Well sod it. And as far as I’m concerned they can have their chemical weapons back, too. They’re all past their use-by date anyway.”
