I saw this story today and wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it on over five major news sites. Apparently, the mayor of London has come under police investigation for nothing less than owning a cigar case! No, not just any cigar case.

Police demand to know how he came into possession of a red leather cigar case belonging to former Iraqi deputy premier Tariq Aziz. Both Aziz and Hussein enjoyed the occasional stogie as evidenced by numerous photos and video footage of the two lighting up, often with fine cognac or whiskey.

The mayor, who is a former journalist, admitted to having found the case among the debris of Aziz’s home, following its bombardment in 2003. He wrote about the finding at the time, and kept it as a trophy of his trip.

Now, let me see if I’m getting this right. We try to kill the guy, bomb his house out of existence and put him on trial for his countless crimes against humanity for which he is likely to get noose around his neck, and British police get pushed over the edge over who took a cigar case following a gigantic explosion? As far as I’m concerned, Aziz is lucky he won’t get hanged with the cigar case shoved up the wazzo!

I guess they better remember this to avoid “war criminal” status when the Castro regime finally comes crashing down: “You can kill the guy, but lay off the humidors!”
