Saudi love for Saddam Husayn
As you all know, the monstrous Saddam's personality cult in the Middle East was directed by Sa`d Al-Bazzaz (Saddam's chief propagandist) and shared by Gulf journalists--including Ahmad Jarallah in Kuwait. Al-Bazzaz is now a pro-Saudi propagandist who publishes Az-Zaman (a pro-US occupation newspaper). The House of Saud has recently been resurrecting Saddam. Here, the sleaze Saudi website, Elaph, quotes Saddam as saying that he wanted democracy but that his comrades (most of whom he killed over the decades) prevented him. The mouthpiece of Prince Salman, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, quotes Saddam as saying that "Iranians don't understand unless their heads are smashed." The Prince Salman's mouthpiece made that as its chief headline today. (thanks Hassan)
