Well, He Always Was A Pain In The Ass

Now he has one.BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein suffers from a chronic prostate infection and has refused to have a biopsy to rule out any chance he has cancer, an Iraqi official said in an interview Thursday on Al-Jazeera television. X-rays and blood tests carried out by U.S. military doctors did not show anything more serious than the infection and Saddam seemed to be in good health otherwise, Iraqi Human Rights Minister Bakhtiar Amin said.
He said blood tests came back negative for cancer, but officials wanted to take a biopsy to be safe.

#12  I suggest we use 'The Pear' just to make sure. This little device is used as a 'probe' into various orifices (male or female... ) and then opened up (see the screw?).

#8  Ed, your "hot poker" line reminded me of the Jerky Boys -- "that would seal me up for good, and I can't have that."

#6  .... Saddam seemed to be in good health otherwise.... I thought it was reported yesterday that Saddam had just had a minor, "death threatening", stroke. WTF is going on here?

#3  Borrow a tranquiliser gun off one of Saddam's old lion tamer goons and drop the old tramp in his own cage. When he's out cold you can probe all you like for a few hours. Any objections?
