Saddam's Gay Lover Tells All

PARIS -- Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein has split from his longtime gay lover after a bitter public spat -- and now the flamboyant dictator's ex-boyfriend is telling all the juicy details of the breakup!

"Saddam treated me like dirt," angry Terry Hammell, now 36, said in a world-exclusive interview. "He used me as a sexual plaything for years and then, when he decided I was getting too old, he tossed me aside like some used Kleenex. He just broke my heart."

Spurned Terry cataloged his much-older lover's misdeeds, claiming that Saddam:

Forced him to dress up for bizarre "role play" games, including "Cellmates in a Turkish Prison," "Patient and Nurse" and "Sultan and Harem Boy." Subjected him to "daily bare-bottomed spankings." Made him work out four hours a day to maintain a lean, sexy body. Cheated on him repeatedly with hunky soldiers from the elite Republican Guard. Verbally abused him when he gained weight, mockingly calling him "my little sow." Infected him with at least three sexually transmitted diseases. French-born Terry says that when the relationship began well over a decade ago, he thought he'd met the man of his dreams.

"I was just 25 at the time and I was flattered by the attention," he says.

"We would walk hand in hand in the palace gardens and make love on the rooftop under the stars. Or sometimes we'd just take bubble baths together and watch old gladiator movies.

"It didn't bother me that Saddam insisted on staying in the closet. I knew he had his macho image to maintain and I was content to stay in the background."

But the romance began to sour as Terry hit 30 and started losing his youthful waistline.

"For a long time, I tried to ignore the lustful looks Saddam gave troops on parade, and the rumors that he was sleeping with several of his handsome military aides," he says.

But it became impossible to ignore the gossip when, in December, Terry caught the tubby, mustachioed despot romancing a rosy-cheeked young corporal under his desk.

That night, the sweethearts had an angry confrontation at a packed diplomatic ball.

"I accused Saddam flat out of cheating on me -- and he slapped me right in the face," recalls Terry. "As I stood there, crying my eyes out, he called me a 'silly @#$*&.'

"He said he was the most powerful man in the Middle East and would sleep with whoever he pleased. I finally ran out, weeping."

Fearing reprisals, Terry fled the country and has taken refuge in his native Paris.

"French-born Terry says that when the relationship began well over a decade ago, he thought he'd met the man of his dreams."

And here we all were thinking the French wouldn't sign the resolution cause of an arms deal. Little did we know it was over love.

Well it also goes a long way to explaining why the American Left is so protective of Saddam. ; )

Just be thankful he let you live, Mush.

WHY am I not surprised?? Seems Saddam is truly perverted in everything he does....Mass murders of his own people, women and children, were just not enough.....

Glad to see The Weakly World News, doing their part in the War on Terrorism.

ping.

[alnick]

Weekly World News, isn't that the tabloid that occasionally has a story about Bat Boy or Snake Boy or Monkey Boy or whatever?

[Cold Heat]

LOL!

SODOM Hussein?

Like the mainstream media, Weekly World News is extremely inaccurate and sensationalist.

Unlike the mainstream media, it is both entertaining and on America's side.

No wonder the French and our own lefties want Saddam left alone. If we bring him down will we have to face hate crimes prosecutions in Wyoming?

[JoshGray]

Oh, and I suppose Bat-boy is their love-child.

Hey! Wait a tick...

[Hillary's Folly]

[NeoCaveman]

Obvious South Park allusion?

[MHGinTN]

Well, that cinches it! We can't attack Saddam now, seeing as how political correctness prevents attack on homosexuals no matter how perverse they be.

[BlessedAmerican]

Come on! If this were true we wouldn't be hearing it from the 'lover boy'. He would have been killed and would have never been allowed to embarrase Saddam in public. Sounds like Saddam is plagued with the tabloid press to me!

[Saturnalia]

But isn't Saddam already dead?
I thought he was making WMD in heaven with the Mormons!

[eureka!]

LOL. OTH, maybe the French will defend Terry's honor. "Zat iss no way to treat a lady!!!" *whap whap* (silk gloves slapping Saddam's face)...
