IRONIC
TIMES MAN OF THE YEAR |
Saddam Hussein
From defying President Bush in
the face of a massive military
invasion, to living on the run
with 200,000 American soldiers
pursuing him, to interfering with
a foul ball during a crucial
Chicago Cubs-Florida Marlins
playoff game, to finally being
captured hiding in a hole not far
from his birthplace in Iraq, it
was quite a year for our Man of
the Year, Saddam Hussein. |
