  It’s 9/11 and I drank a Monster too late.

    so… I’m familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so… the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.

        That’s very interesting… because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.

        Over the past 24 hours I’ve seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they’d adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.

        Maybe I’m thinking too much like a scientist. There’s probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.

    Ok. But why his location? Because the Obama administration said they buried him secretly. Thanks for the response.

      No, it’s from a news graphic giving a detailed, annotated breakdown of the “compound” he was hiding in, the compound being an actual, literal hole in the ground, but presented as if explaining some piece of high-tech military hardware, with Saddam himself presented as if he were a component.
