Heh. Methinks ScrappleFace’s Scott Ott is a Lord of the Rings nerd!
A surprise offer by Saddam Hussein to personally lead U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney to Usama bin Laden’s mountain hideaway may have been inspired by one of ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies he has watched while being held by the U.S. military. …
Sources describe Saddam has being humiliated by his capture, somewhat deranged from his time underground and overly influenced by the character ‘Gollum’ in the ‘The Two Towers.’
Mr. Cheney is said to empathize with the former Iraqi leader since he and Saddam have both spent long periods isolated in undisclosed locations and have backgrounds in the petroleum business.
Saddam recently told interrogators, “We’ll be nice to them if they’ll be nice to us. We swears to do what you wants. We swears to serve the master of the petrol [his nickname for Mr. Cheney]. We will swear on…on the petrol! Yes, on the petrol; on the petrol.”
