Saddam’s Mistress

Over 30 Years, Woman Heard Outlaw Leader’s Innermost Thoughts

 

 

 

Sept. 8 — A woman who says she was Saddam Hussein's mistress describes a Viagra-fueled lover who enjoyed watching The Godfather and tapes of his enemies being tortured — but cried as the allies took Kuwait from Iraqi occupation during the Gulf War.  

 

"He don't believe in his mother, he don't believe in God, he didn't believe in nobody," Parisoula Lampsos, 54, told ABCNEWS' Claire Shipman in an interview from a safe house in Lebanon that will be broadcast this week on ABCNEWS' Primetime Thursday.

"He believe only for Saddam," Lampsos added. "He look at the mirror, 'I am Saddam.' He went like that. He looks. 'I am Saddam. Heil Hitler!'"

 

Allegedly Helped Bin Laden

 

As U.S. officials look for current links between Hussein and al Qaeda, Lampsos said the Iraqi leader has met and given money in the past to Osama bin Laden, according to one of several written excerpts from the Primetime Thursday broadcast.

 

Lampsos saw bin Laden at Hussein's palace in the 1980s, she said, and claimed Hussein's son Oday told her his father met with bin Laden again in the mid 1990s and gave him money.

 

"He give to Osama bin Laden," Lampsos said. "He give to Palestine."

 

On and off for 30 years, Lampsos was Hussein's favorite of three wives and six mistresses, and saw him almost on a daily basis, she said. But after fleeing Iraq a year ago, she fears Hussein will try to kill her, and she disguises herself by wearing a veil in public.

 

Early on, she loved him, she said. He gave her a room in his palace stocked with clothes and gifts.

 

"He was tender," she said. "He was warm. He was nice. He was another person."

 

‘You Are Afraid to Say No’

 

But as Hussein grew older, he dyed his hair, used a relaxation mask to reduce wrinkles, and sometimes used Viagra to enhance their sexual encounters, she said. Still, she always had sex with him willingly.

 

"Saddam, he don't need to force anybody," she said. "You are afraid. You are afraid to say no. … I was with him because I was afraid of him."

 

As she grew more disenchanted, she realized she would never be allowed to leave.

 

"I told him, 'Why? Let me go now,'" she recalled of the many times she tried to break off the relationship. "'I don't have anything to give you more. You can have any woman. What you need me?' He look at me very, very, very strong. He said, 'You belong to me. You are going to die here in Baghdad.'"

 

She knew Hussein was willing to go to extreme measures to get what he wanted. She saw first-hand examples of his ruthlessness — such as when she believes he ordered the assassination of his oldest son because he viewed the son, Oday, as a troublemaker and a rival for power.

 

The assassination attempt failed, and Oday was left paralyzed.

 

"I didn't want in this way," Lampsos recalled Hussein saying afterwards. "I wanted him to die. It was better for him."

 

Even when relaxing, Hussein's brutal side could come out, she said. According to Lampsos, Hussein loved watching The Godfather, listening to "Strangers in the Night" by Frank Sinatra, or seeing videos of his enemies being tortured. He sometimes donned a cowboy hat, sipped whiskey on the rocks and puffed on a cigar as he watched the torture.

 

"He was happy, happy, happy," she said of the torture viewing. "Happiest day."

 

Hussein also raised gazelles, she said, because they were his favorite dinnertime meal, and when he was hungry he handpicked them to be slaughtered.

 

‘Thinks all the Time He Is Sick’

 

But Hussein also lived with fears, Lampsos said.

 

Hussein "thinks all the time he is sick," she said, and prefers that people kiss him on the shoulder instead of the cheek so he doesn't get infected with germs.

 

Several years ago, she added, Hussein summoned a doctor from Cuba because he suffered a stroke, something western observers had suspected.

 

"If you see him in some photos, his mouth is not normal," Lampsos said. "It droops."

 

According to Lampsos, Hussein worried somewhat when George W. Bush was elected president, believing the younger Bush would come after him. But, she claimed, "He don't care."

 

‘Who’s America? … I Am Saddam’

 

Lampsos said Hussein was convinced that he would win the Gulf War a decade ago because, "He never lose. He always think that he will win."

 

Even after the United States stepped into the fray, she added, Hussein thought, "Who's America? Who are they? What [do] they think they are? I am Saddam."

 

But when the allies seized Kuwait, she sensed he had been crying, as his eyes appeared to be, "with tears. His eye was red, red, red."

 

She said Hussein told her: "'I lose.' I said, 'What?' He said, 'Kuwait.' He said, 'They took Kuwait from me but I will took it again.'"

 

Interesting..

Where is this article from?

 

Lampsos added. "He look at the mirror, 'I am Saddam.' He went like that. He looks. 'I am Saddam. Heil Hitler!'"

 

That line is hilarious. But it makes me skeptical of her truthfulness.

The whole thing is tawdry and irrelevant.

ABC News is my source. I saw it on Drudge and Newsmax as well.

 

I doubt the 'Heil Hitler' line too.. it seems a bit too over the top and evil.

 

Heck, the guy has animals killed for meals, he tried to kill his own son and he listens to Sinatra, what more proof do we need that he's crazed?

 

For some sick reason, he probably has a video of torture clips set to 'Strangers in the Night'

Please do not knock the Chairman!

I was kidding around on the Sinatra dealie.. don't worry.

 

Wouldn't it be more fitting if Saddam loved the song "My Way"? "I am Saddam, I did it my way!".

The article doesn't prove anything, and only serves as drek to fill up TV time that could be better spent on sticoms and football.

I disagree.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Wait, shouldn't Mullah = Sammy (the "1 eye" connection).

 

Mullah has the eye patch, right? Or am I just way off-base?
