Saddam Hussein’s Bronze Butt Cheek: Iraq Wants It Back
Saddam Hussein may have been an ass, but Iraq still wants a former British special forces soldier to give a bronze butt cheek that was part of a toppled statue of the dictator.
Nigel Ely, who did the cheeky act with the help of U.S. Marines back in 2003, says he has turned Saddam’s butt into a piece of art that he wants to sell to raise money for veterans’ charities in the U.S. and U.K., according to Newser.com.
Iraq refuses to turn the other cheek and is accusing Ely of illegally removing Iraqi cultural property.
Iraqi Cultural Property? Cultural Property!? …Now what does that say about Iraq’s cultural heritage? So is Saddam’s bronze nose part of the countries early warning system?
