Hussein granted permission, and a group of WBC congregants traveled to Iraq to protest against the U.S. The WBC members stood on the streets of Baghdad holding signs condemning Bill and Hillary Clinton and anal sex. After Saddam was hanged, Phelps released a video commentary that stated that both Saddam Hussein and Gerald Ford (who had died the same week) were now in Hell." Fred Phelps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yes truth IS stranger than fiction | Geez, how could the Phelps family say that Hussein is in hell when he invited them to Iraq?
