Saddam Hussein owned some cool things

The Ocean Breeze, a 270 foot yacht formerly owned by Saddam Hussein is now up for sale. It is docked in Nice, France and is on the market for purchase. This isn't just your run of the mill gigantic luxury yacht, oh no. Saddam, being the elusive guy that he was had an escape tunnel built in to the yacht which led to an escape submarine. Even James Bond would have been impressed with that I would think. Saddam had the yacht built in 1989. Saddam reportedly never stayed on the yacht because he feared if he left the country, the country would become politically unstable. The yacht is an older one, it only has one helipad and doesn't have a gym. The brokers are not worried however, they thinks it's history will be a good selling point. They predict the yacht will go for around 35 million.
