That was boring
I'm sure that the fine folks at Frito-Lay are thrilled to hear that the satan of the desert likes their snack food.
The three GIs were among members of C Company, 2nd Battalion, 103rd Armor Regiment, a Pennsylvania National Guard unit from the Scranton area that was activated for duty in Iraq in late 2003. Instead of going into combat, they were chosen by the FBI to serve as guards at a U.S. military compound where Saddam was an “HVD,” or high value detainee.
The soldiers say Saddam was preoccupied with cleanliness, washing up after shaking hands and using diaper wipes to clean his meal trays, his utensils and the table before eating. “He had germophobia or whatever you call it” said Dawson, 25, of Berwick, Pa.
The article quotes the GIs on Saddam’s eating preferences — Raisin Bran Crunch was his breakfast favorite. “No Froot Loops,” he told O’Shea.
For a time his favorite food was Cheetos, and when those ran out, Saddam would “get grumpy,” the story says. One day the guards substituted Doritos corn chips, and Saddam forgot about Cheetos. “He’d eat a family size bag of Doritos in 10 minutes,” Dawson says.
"That's all he talked about, that's all he wanted to eat after that."
