Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein has been caught with his pants down -- literally. A shocking 1968 porn film has surfaced, in which the flamboyant strongman appears performing raunchy homosexual acts!

The image quality of the grainy 16mm film, uncovered by the Kuwaiti secret police, is poor -- but experts who've taken a close look at the hairy-chested actor are "100 percent certain" it is a younger, trimmer Saddam.

"There is no doubt in my mind that this is Saddam -- there's no mistaking those eyes and that distinctive nose," declares Hussein biographer Sadiq al-Sabah of Kuwait, who's seen the eye-popping footage first-hand.

1. the 70s were full of SADDAM CLONES with the same moustache

If you wanted to make gay porn in the 70s, apparently you were required by law to have a Saddam Hussein moustache... I'm sure Aaron Brown did a thoughtful story about that at some point... and I'm glad the WWN is on top of this.

Oh man, somebody has to make a cheap exploitation movie with 9 Saddams or so.

Funhouse mirror ending ala LADY FROM SHANGHAI - the hero faces Saddam...

HERO: "I got you now, Sodom!"

SADDAM: "Ha ha ha... ha. Ha! Ha. But which of us is THE REAL SADDAM?"

He splits cheesily into 9 clones, all laughing. Poorly dubbed laughing.

4. That article is Weekly World News

WWN is just another Enquirer clone.

Why would anyone post this? Unless as a comment on the disgusting but oft-discussed practice of using statements (usually false) of homosexual acts or orientation to try to discredit or somehow harm a man.

5. don't you think the kuwaitis might have vested interests in besmirching

Hussein's name with trashy discoveries like this? after all, he did order an invasion of their country and call them "dogs" during that mockery of a hearing a month ago.

(that is, if WWN is didn't make this up themselves)

9. Yes, folks: all bad people are deviants

They're also malodorous, stupid, boring, tactless and have poor fashion sense. All of our friends and allies, on the other hand, are paragons of all virtues known to man.

People who have problems with gay sex have problems with sex itself.

Typical.
