BBC says Saddam 'nostalgic great leader' - Iraqis sense of pride in him

Windbag John Simpson, of the BBC, writes an admiring article of Saddam.

As you read the BBC article, remember Simpson leaves out the number of times Saddam pleaded with the court, saying please, please on a number of occasions.

Towards the end, Simpson reveals why he has no business pretending to be a reporter any longer. And Simpson's presence on the BBC, exemplify why the BBC is a disgrace as a news organization.

Here is what Simpson has to say about Saddam.

But he represents a sense of pride that even people who suffered under him feel.

What arrogance! Speaking for the Iraqi people who suffered horribly under Saddam and saying Saddam represents pride for them?

But Simpson isn't done yet.

There is a complicated sense in which Iraqis are glad to be free of him, but already he has taken on a sort of nostalgic feeling of a great leader.

Only for you Simpson, in that little dried up brain of yours, only for you and your anti-American BBC.
