Saddam to publish novel

Filed under: Terrorism by Mac Powell at 10:33 am UTC

A novel by Saddam Hussein is due out next week:

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) Saddam Hussein’s family will publish next week a novel written by the ousted Iraqi leader before the U.S.-led war, his daughter said Friday.

“Get Out, Damned One” tells the story of a man called Ezekiel who plots to overthrow a town’s sheik but is defeated in his quest by the sheik’s daughter and an Arab warrior.

The story is apparently a metaphor for a Zionist-Christian plot against Arabs and Muslims. Ezekiel is meant to symbolize the Jews.

Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father finished the novel March 18, 2003 a day before the U.S.-led war on Iraq began and had expressed a wish to publish the book under his name. The three other novels he wrote were simply signed, “Its author.”

“It was my father’s will to publish this book,” Raghad told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

I wonder if DrudgeReport will push this as hard as the Hillary book?

Digg It!

    This could be the story of his rise to power in Iraq, or at least his side of it.
