Saddam Hussein TV channel launched
A television channel dedicated to former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has appeared on Arab satellite networks. Its launch came on the third anniversary, on the Islamic calendar, of the former president’s execution.
It is not clear who is behind the channel which broadcasts the speeches, images and even poetry of Saddam Hussein, backed with patriotic music.
It is broadcast from outside Iraq and some analysts suspect his former political supporters of bankrolling it…
We know the world is filled to capacity with people who adore the politics of the US and UK, right?
The ‘al-Arab’ channel, dubbed Saddam TV in Iraq first appeared on Bahrain-based Noorsat and Egypt-owned NileSat on Friday and is also streamed on the Internet…
One Baghdad resident told the BBC that the channel has become his favourite even though watching it makes him sad for reminding him of when Iraq was safe. However the BBC’s Natalia Antelava in Baghdad says that many in the city are indifferent to the news of the channel’s launch.
The British Parliament and the U.S. Congress will no doubt hold hearings trying to understand how such a thing should take place.
The following week someone may tell them that people other than Western politicians have the ability to control electricity.
Holler at your Congress-critter to support Bernie Sanders' bill to 
What company would advertise on this network?
The Cheney Torture Implement Manufacturing Company.
The “Rumsfeld Method of Lying and Smiling” self help series.
Al Quada Recruitment Centers. “There’s one in your neighborhood!”
The news program could be called “We Shia on Your Sunni Day”. All the news necessary to foment discontent. And then some.
A top comedy / game show could feature false confessions from Abu Graib. Just imagine the funny situations. Guess how many foot bones will need to be broken before the prisoner confesses to dearly wanting Saddam to plug his butt with that 13″ manhood.
The “Hebe Hour”, an hour of Jewish jokes and skits. Followed by the “Great Satan Hour of Humor” at what those stupid Americans and British have done now.
I’m here all week folks. Don’t forget to tip your wait staff, they’re a marvelous bunch.

“What company would advertise on this network?”
If they thought they could make a buck, just name a corporation.
U.S. arms manufacturers spring immediately to mind.
All of them.
That question is like asking, “What company would close down all their North American manufacturing plants and move all the jobs to Communist China?”
All of them.
That question is like asking, “What U.S. based search engines companies would aid and abet the arrest, torture and murder of people seeking nothing but freedom?”
All of them.
Unfortunately, I could go on all day…

And once again, you make another good point.
The last time my wife made a comment on my point, it was to suggest I comb my hair differently so others wouldn’t notice. Or wear a hat.
