South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein

Posted by samzenpus on from the respect-my-authority dept.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a very special gift by US marines: a signed photo of Saddam Hussein. During his captivity, the marines forced Saddam to repeatedly watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as the boyfriend of Satan. Stone said, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means. It's one of our biggest highlights."

    In my book the reason we invaded is that Saddam wouldn't let us "have" the oil. He wanted to keep the oil as a "nationalized" export. Seeing as we installed him to "give" us the oil, he had effectively quit being useful to us and as such had become "dispensable". After the Iran/Iraq gig, and later Kuwait (who was allowing us to angle-drill beneath the Iraqi border...hence why Saddam blew up the oil wells) and our attempt at a Kurdish revolt (which we dropped the ball on and allowed 40,000 kurds to be gassed with weapons we previously sold Saddam) we couldn't keep face and deal openly with him for Iraq's oil. We needed the oil, so he had to go...End of story....for now.
