Futile Antarctica Concerned at US Tranvestism?

"Saddam!!! Saddam!!!

Saddam!!! Saddam!!!
Suspenders and a bra!!!
Saddam!!! Saddam!!!

"No wonder Iraqi... passions... are inflamed...I know that the duhhh-bya administration thinks that Saddam was a 'drag' on Iraqi society, but this is going too far!"
