Can’t believe the U.S. spent all that time going after Saddam Hussein when they could have ordered him off wish for $20. pic.twitter.com/mFEJZbUc4i

Interestingly, “more than ten” people have purchased the item.The advertisement is actually a listing for a “fine art print” of Hussein. Two sizes of the print are available.The description of the item reads, “Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein following his capture was reproduced on Premium Heavy Stock Paper which captures all of the vivid colors and details of the original… This print is ready for hanging or framing.”
