and it's why christians flourished in iraq which they're you know like i i'd like to i'd hope all these guys are still alive but the reality is is like isis probably fucking got rid of them after saddam was gone you know yeah isis killed so many fucking christians you know what i'm saying yeah uh but they were all christians and uh so his uh
It started with the ex-ambassador, excuse me, to the U.S. And then I met the tailor and started talking to the tailor. And then one day he brought this hat and he brought some clothes. And I was like, what was this? And he was like... You know, he told me this is the one where he shot the Mauser. And he had some clothes. I grabbed a sweater. I wear this sweater on Christmas Eve.
And then when I was fatter, it's like a fucking halter top. My belly fat's hanging out. You know, my family's like, I don't know. They think I'm nuts. But I normally wear that sweater on Christmas. I forgot to bring it around. I brought it. Wow. Yeah, now that I lost weight, I think I'm actually Saddam's size. You know what I'm saying? It's spooky. You know what I'm saying?
I could have wore all those clothes, you know what I mean?
But yeah, they were Christians, right? And we rolled up the tailor. The tailor gave up a butler. Me and another guy were at the tailor's house, right? And we were going to snatch this guy, right? This butler. And the butler is the guy who used to wash Saddam. Like he bathed Saddam every fucking day. So Saddam had someone bathe him. Yeah.
No. Crazy, right? Yeah. Weird. But he had a lot of a lot of but they were all Christians and they were all honestly, they were all fucking nice people, to be fair. Like all the Christians were great people. Anyway. Yeah. So I'm in the house with another guy and the guy's early. So we fucking shoot up on the roof. The guy comes. I call my guys. They're they're not really in place yet. So he comes.
He leaves. He only stays a minute and he's gone. You know what I mean? And these I think all these inner circle Saddam folks know they were valuable to us. And and like they realized they were going to get snatched at some time. So he was like he was out. Right. I called my guys, right? And then literally my guys were like two blocks away. As he was leaving, he ran into their Humvee.
He ran into my guys. And they're like, hey, this guy just ran into us in this vehicle. I'm like, that's the dude.
Yeah, he ran into our guys in a Humvee. He was trying to drive away and crashed into the guys that were going to snatch him. Wow. Yeah. I'll tell you another Saddam story. This is this is my one of my favorites. Saddam had like regular pieces of ass and like his favorite piece of ass was this butterface lady. I don't know what she did for him, but she wasn't a looker. You know what I mean?
So, like, look and feel are different things. Saddam knew what felt right to him, obviously. And she was married, and we wanted to get to her. I mean, maybe Saddam's favorite sex partner wouldn't know where he is, right? Right. So... We have the tailor. The tailor knows who he is. So we have the tailor kind of invite him to the tailor stop shop. This tailor had a store in downtown Baghdad.
So he comes in the store and, uh, I told my guys, if he doesn't come out quick to, uh, I had a couple, um, I don't know what they're called now. Mohawks, I think is what they call the Iraqi counter-terror guys. Oh, before they were even established, like the guys were with us, you know? So we had a couple of those guys. Um, and, uh, I have them start fighting in front of the store. Right.
So literally everyone piles on in the street to see these guys fighting, right? Like everyone piles out of all the shops, stores, and everyone's watching these two guys fight. literally the guy we're looking for, like walks up to see the fight and his back is to the van door of the guys that are going to snatch him. Wow. So I call him like, yo, you see that tall guy? That's our guy.
Fucking snatch him. And no shit. Van door, van door, fucking open. nobody even knew where the fucking guy went. The tailor later was like, where did he go? Did you take, who took him? Where did this guy go? Where does this man at? You know what I mean? Like no one even seen him get snatched. Right.
And then later my boss was like, who are those guys fighting? I was like, that's our boys. And he was like, wait, did you do that? And I was like, I didn't want to be there for like six hours. Like, you know what I mean? Like, how do we speed this up? We got shit to do today. Like, you know what I mean? That's my efficiency is my thing.
Yeah. That's one of the, and we did so much. Hey, all right. I'll tell you another one. My first Saddam hit, uh, I worked a lot of intel side for Saddam, me and a couple other guys. So we worked somewhere not with our squadron, and we worked with another government agency. Make sense? Yeah. We get the call, the squadron's doing a hit. There's a Saddam sighting, right?
So this is like the beginning, like 2003 Iraq. We were fucking Ken blocking it with fucking maps, like hit the third traffic circle, go out on the nine o'clock. Like literally I get us to fucking Ken blocking, fucking navigating through a fucking shitty Baghdad fucking street map. I get us to the fucking target, right? Humvees are already there. The rest of the guys are already there.
Rangers got the blocking positions all set up. so we get there we raid the house right we get all these guys and then finally there was like no fucking shit y'all there was like i don't know 15 motherfuckers it was like a saddam look-alike fucking contest they all had the mustache there's like short fat saddams there's like tall skinny saddams so it's like body doubles
Well, I don't know if it was body doubles. They just all looked like them. Yeah, because the Saddam look was popular. The mustache. I mean, not that they all look the same, but they kind of all look the same from my perspective at the time. So it was like, well, no wonder someone called this in. It's fucking like they all look like Saddam. You know what I mean? And then on the outside, like...
fuck man the rangers shot up these vehicles at the blocking position i have my squad my my sergeant major was like hey go fucking clean up the bodies and i'm like why the fuck am i on brains detail i didn't fucking shoot nobody today and he's like you're the only one with a regular pickup truck that could haul the bodies and i'm like fucker already thought it through this is why this guy's the boss you know what i mean like and then uh
lesson learned that day is you know like in iraq you just drink water out of bottles and then throw them in your truck man we were loading bodies and there's fucking 100 water bottles in the back of the bed someone just come by the bed of the truck and throw an empty water bottle in like at the house or whatever right and like i'm throwing bodies and fucking shit in the back of my truck and there's like bloody water bottles squirting everywhere it's a fucking mess man so
