I've seen so many photos of people pushing the tower, it should be upright by now again.

Saddam is with Uday and Qusay, in the ground beneath the slit trench.

That’s not what happened to Uday and Qusay. Those two were killed in Mosul. Blown up in a building with TOW missiles. That was in July 2003. Saddam was captured in December 2003.

No, no. That's Spanish. "Perfetto!" is how they say it in Italian. Also you have to 🤌.
