| Iraq tows Saddam's luxury yacht from France |
| 2009-01-22 |
| Iraq's government will tow the late dictator Saddam Hussein's yacht from France back to Iraq after the global economic crisis left the luxurious yacht without a buyer, a spokesman said Wednesday. That's a long way. How much insurance is on it? Just sayin... |

| #5 Excuse me, why would the President want ONE smallish boat, when he effectively has a whole Navy? Who would fall all ove themselves to have a "Ship" for the Presidents use. |

| #4 The president of the United States has to be happy with no yacht Well, the previous one was. The new one likens himself to FDR and JFK, so maybe in the 2009 Democratic Reelection Stimulus Package they can get the old one back. We know there are a number of equally expensive figurative palaces in the package, we haven't had enough time to find any literal ones yet, but we won't be surprised if there are one or two. |

| #2 One of the comments: The president of the United States has to be happy with no yacht, and a house that is tiny and poor by arab potentate standards. Saddam thought he was an emperor and deserved giant yachts and more than 78 palaces, most of them build during the US embargo that muslims like to call the starving of Iraqi children. I wonder why they didn't notice all those new palaces going up all over Iraq? |
