Saddam was our guy in the little proxy war with Iran.

What did Hussein do to be honored with Motor City’s key?

That bike must have been a real butt buster after 103 days, & no paved roads back then either.

These stupid bicycles were only a fad, as modern crank pedal and chain bicycles, with equal sized wheels were patented in the US in 1867. Ok, I had to look up the date, but I knew the modern bicycle already existed. Michelin made the first balloon tires, consisting of an inner tube and a casing. When I was a wee lad in the French Dukedom of Arkansas, old timers referred to tires as “casons”, a mispronounciation of “casing.”Oh, I forgot the dukes name, but his title was Duc d’Arkansas.

If Saddam were alive, today, he’d probably give the key back!

Hussein may have been an S O B, but at that time, he was OUR S O B

Detroit gave Saddam the Key, figuring he’d be killed quicker in Detroit.

Do we need to post that picture of Dick Cheney and Saddam?
