The Man With The Golden Gun = Saddam Hussein

Saddam’s blinged-out gun collection perfectly compliments the former dictator’s mega-yacht, no?

Arabist, who posted a gallery on flickr, says these images are circulating via email forward throughout the Arab world. Thus, I’m not sure who originally took them. A U.S. soldier with what appears to be the last name “Derrick” appears in one shot.

We’d love to credit the original photographer. If you have any info, please let us know in the comments or email me: steven AT boingboing DOT net.

   Now we know the real reason for the invasion of Iraq: Saddam shot Tupac!

   Another tragic victim of the Westcoast-Mideastcoast rap feud.

   Haha! At first I thought they were some steampunk raygun models Cory Doctorow found on the web!

   Well, you know, you need to offer these sorts of perks or your country will be unable to attract the best and the brightest murderous dictators.

   You know who else like gold-plated guns?
