The Iraqi embassy in France said that it expected Baghdad's new government would soon be the owner of a magnificent property on the Riviera which is dubbed Saddam's villa" by locals because of its use by members of the deposed regime.
Would I be too cynical to wonder if the long time lag was needed to remove the cyclotrons and about a foot of top soil around certain buildings?
Oh, and in what I'm sure is one of those world-class hilarious coincidences:
[In] 2002, it emerged that the property next door was owned by one of the brothers of Osama bin Laden.
I wonder if the bin Ladens ever had reason to pop on over to borrow a cup of Anthrax?
I sure wish American special forces had captured this villa back in 2003.
