It's never too early to start thinking about what to get your fave dictator for the holidays. Luckily, a man who claims to have been Saddam Hussein's former chief of protocol, Haitham Wihaib, has put some of the ex-president's personal items on the block. Among the goodies, which the seller says were given to him by Hussein himself, are a gold, diamond, and sapphire Rolex (bidding starts at $150,000), a plethora of Christian Dior ties, ornate hash pipes, and a stylish Cartier pen. Prefer American militia memorabilia to the finery of the Butcher of Baghdad? Try the Blackwater christmas ornament! Via wihaib.com and Copyranter
