Saddam hearts Saint Ronnie. It isn't just the Doritos he longs for.
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.Good times. If Saddam signed Reagan's yearbook, he'd be like, "Hey Ron, don't go changing! Thanks for hooking me up with the weapons, bro. Tell that crazy bastard Rummy to give me a call. We'll chill at one of the palaces and fire off rifles. Best friends 4 ever! Saddam."
"He said, 'I wish things were like when Ronald Reagan was still president,'" said one of the soldiers who guarded him.
So the next time you hear someone talking about how Reagan was the best, just say, "You know who else loved Reagan? Saddam Hussein."
