Saddam Hussein’s Secret Diary Found

By DEREK CLONTZ
Your World Report

The discovery of Saddam Hussein’s secret diary in a bombed out bunker in Baghdad proves it beyond the shadow of a doubt: The Iraqi strongman was not only an evil and ruthless tyrant who ruled his country with an iron fist, he was a:

- frustrated rock musician,

- nerd who fretted about his manhood,

- secret admirer of President George Bush,

- cannibal who enjoyed the taste of human flesh,

- closet transvestite with occasional homosexual appetities who, in his heart of hearts, preferred silk panties, cocktail dresses and feather boas to the Army greens he forced himself to wear in public.

And that’s not all.

Peppering the handwritten, “chicken scratch” text of the 247-page document - portions of which were shredded by a bunker bomb - are hundreds of startling glimpses into the life, mind and soul of the most vicious dictator to hit the world stage since Nazi madman Adolf Hitler took control of Germany in 1939.

“This is an astonishing self-portrait of a man who for many in the world is evil incarnate,” a CIA analyst who has seen the diary Your World Report and derekclontz.com exclusively.

“The fact that he thrived on terror, torture and death is common knowledge -- we all saw that as he imposed his will on millions of innocent people as the self-proclaimed leader of Iraq.

“But the idea of him secretly worrying about his masculinity and prowess as a lover, wishing that he had learned to play keyboards and sing with a rock band, pining for a love connection with Barbara Bush and a dreaming of a gay old night on the town with French President Jacques Chirac is something nobody expected.

“I thought he spent his private hours pulling the wings off flies and watching his goons torture innocent women and children with cattle prods and stun guns. But now we know the truth.

“And the truth will blow you away. Saddam was vicious and ruthless, yes. But he also was a pea-brained idiot, a pervert - and crazy as a loon.”

The source declined to say precisely when and where the leather-bound diary was discovered although it is widely believed to have been found by U.S. troops just days after they made their first forays into the heart of Baghdad.

According to the source, both CIA and Army intelligence analysts agree “beyond any reasonable doubt” that the journal “is written in Saddam’s peculiar, childlike scrawl“ and is, in fact, “authentic.”

It begins with an entry dated January 17, 1998, in which he slapped himself on the wrist for ordering the decapitation of a childhood friend who lightheartedly joked that Saddam “looked like he was putting on a little weight in his old age.“

It ends with a scribbled note about the “bad chicken” he ate while Coalition forces bombed Baghdad on April 2, 2003 -- giving him what the CIA source snidely calls “the mother of all stomach pains and a serious case of the trots.”

Neither the CIA nor the Pentagon will discuss the diary on record pending a go-ahead from the White House. Privately, however, insiders confirm that “significant entries” will be made public in weeks and months to come, possibly by the President himself.

Here, from the source, are excerpts as translated by the CIA

His gay nights with French President Jacques Chirac. In an entry dated Aug. 5, 6, 7, 8, 2001, Saddam writes: “Jacques is my friend, my lover, my confidante. His kisses are like the French wines we drink -- sweet, and fine. Our nights are filled with love, and one another. I wish he never had to leave me, but the world wouldn’t understand what we have between us.”

His bizarre obsession with Michael Jackson. Saddam referred to the reclusive but wildly popular pop icon in numerous diary entries, including one dated Sept. 20, 2001 that read: “He is a man of enormous and extraordinary talents. But how does he go walking on the moon, how does he do the moonwalk? My Michael moves like an angel. I would kill everyone who dislikes him.”

His frantic late-night phone calls to Monica Lewinski. He never got through to President Bill Clinton‘s No. 1 intern, but according to a diary entry dated April 12, 2000, he tried. “I do know what he (Clinton) saw in her. She is a woman of rare beauty and significant female temptations and charms. I must have her. I must!”

Why he loves the taste of human flesh. In a diary entry dated March 22, 1999, Saddam extols the virtues of eating human flesh, especially flesh stripped from infants who were gutted alive: “Cannibal cultures have the right idea. Human flesh is more powerful than all other meats. When I eat the flesh of fresh babies, I am energized and joyous for weeks. The taste is exquisite, like tender marinated lamb.”

The night he made love to terror kingpin Osama bin Laden's goat. It‘s not entirely clear if Saddam was being facetious with this diary entry dated July 14, 2002, but he refers to “Osama‘s favorite goat“ and then adds cryptically, “Our nights are special and move me to tears. I have experienced unconditional love and the closeness I crave.”

The wild tattoo he doesn't want the world to see. In several diary entries Saddam talks about the Barbara Bush tattoo over his heart. “It is true that I am most intrigued by this woman who can control with a smile or a coy shake of her tresses the ‘Great Satan’ (President Bush). But she can never be mine. I should forget her and this remove this image (tattoo) over my heart. But I can’t get her out of my mind.“

The butt implants he hoped would make him “young” again. In an entry dated Dec. 18, 2002, Saddam chortled: “They worked. They worked. Sitting doesn’t hurt me now. And I have the firm buttocks of a strong, young teenager -- not flat like a man who is old.”

What he really thinks about Osama bin Laden -- and George Bush. In a post 9/11 entry, Saddam pontificates on bin Laden and Bush: “I admire Bush but he is evil -- EVIL -- and he must be destroyed.

And he must be destroyed by me because Osama is a woman -- he is weak and hides behind his followers rather than lead them as Bush and I do. Osama is a ‘whimpering mama’s boy’ born into wealth. And it shows.”

Secret torment over his teeny-weeny. While parading around Baghdad firing rifles and ordering executions like a “big dog,” in a secret diary entry dated March 11, 1999 Saddam bemoaned his shrunken manhood: ”Why me? Why me? My own sons are endowed like big, strong animals and I am so small. My lovers laugh at me behind my back. I have heard they call me ’the pencil’.

His desperate wish to ride on America's space shuttle. Although Saddam knew better than to say it in public, he revealed his wish in a diary entry dated July 20, 1999: “Flying into space like a great bird -- that is for me. Allah willing, my day will come.“

Why he wanted to become a rock star. In a diary entry dated June 2, 1990, Saddam wrote: “If they could see me on stage, if they could hear me sing and play the piano or drums, they would understand I am a passionate man, a loving man, a fun man. Saddam! Saddam! Saddam! I would knock them dead. Ha! Ha! Ha!”

Why he ordered agents to kill an unnamed friend's bride -- on their wedding day. In a diary entry dated Nov. 19, 2002, Saddam wrote: “Kill her. Kill her with Sarin! Didn‘t she know when she married my friend, she married me, too? Foolish woman.”

The all-American love child he doesn't want you to know about. According to a diary entry dated Jan. 30, 1999, Saddam had at least one baby out of wedlock -- with the wife of an American oil tycoon. “Doesn’t he (the unnamed oil man) realize the boy looks like me? Maybe he doesn’t want to know. But he has to. The boy is my son and one day I will march into America with an army to claim him.“

His plan to nuke the pyramids, Mt. Rushmore -- and Eiffel Tower. Saddam’s ego was without bounds, and in a diary entry dated Aug. 12, 2002, he dreamed of world where all eyes were on him: “The pyramids and Mt. Rushmore, the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower . . . I will destroy them all in a show of technological might they do not believe I have. They will see my power in a mushroom cloud of death and devastation. Then they will know who I am.“

The shocking real reason he developed weapons of mass destruction. In an diary entry dated May 12, 2000, Saddam revealed the true intent behind Iraqi programs to develop weapons of mass destruction: “I will conquer and enslave all Arabs wherever they live and work -- all Arabs will bow before mighty Saddam. By the holy name of Allah, everyone else, all infidels, will die.”

Why he dressed in women’s clothes. Western journalists have long suspected that Saddam was gay, but nobody realized he was a transvestite, too.

As he wrote in an undated diary entry, “I love being a woman. I love wearing women’s clothes. I love my glittering dresses and feathers. I adore the undergarments. I feel pretty in my fancy silks. Sometimes I want a strong man to hold me in his arms and say, ‘Everything’s going to be okay, Saddam. Everything‘s going to be okay.’"
