Leave it to Al Hayat Al Jadida, the official daily paper of the Palestinian Authority, to publish an advertisement wishing Saddam Hussein a happy birthday. Palestinian Media Watch has an image and full translation of the ad. The ousted Iraqi dictator turned 68, with significantly less fanfare than his mandatory-attendance 2002 celebration. See CNSNews for background on the Palestinian media’s relationship with the birthday boy.
