Gramps, you've hit on something. Uday no doubt supplied Ritter with fresh young victims in exchange for his treason.

[elbucko]

"He likes joking about with his friends: 'look at her, after this she'll be a prostitute'."

I sense from this that Bill Clinton would have liked to party with "Uday".

Reminds me more and more of the Cieciesku (I know I can't spell it) regime.
But this is worse.

Uday Hussein recuperating, he tells CNN

Iraqi president's son speaks in first Western media interview
March 7, 1997

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Last December, gunmen opened fire on Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday Hussein, as he sat in his car on a busy Baghdad street. He was shot about 10 times.

Since then, reports have swirled that Uday had gangrene, that he was partially paralyzed, that he would die unless he received medical treatment abroad.

But in his first interview with a Western news organization, the man sometimes considered Saddam's heir apparent told CNN that his wounds, though severe, are not permanent.

"I was hit many times in various parts of the body, including my right leg, and thank God I am recovering," said Uday, who remains hospitalized. "I was also severely wounded in my left leg. Iraqi and French doctors will conduct an operation shortly and, God willing, I will recover."

The interview, Uday's first since the shooting, was apparently granted to dispel speculation about his condition and to show he is recuperating. One British Sunday newspaper had even reported that he died after the attack.

Sitting in his hospital room, Uday told CNN his wounds are a source of pride and honor He cited a family history of wounds acquired in battle, ending with his father, wounded in an operation "for the party" in 1959.

"And now this has happened to me," he said.

Iran again blamed for the attack
Yet, he said, investigators have not yet caught the assailants. He dismissed reports by the opposition, based outside of Iraq, that the attack was a result of feuds within the ruling elite, calling the opposition "a group of ignorant people."


His family has suggested previously that Iran was behind the attack, and Uday hinted at that again. "Their faces were exposed ... they did not look like Arabs," he said.

"Arabs have beards like mine. Iranians have longer beards. In general, we can differentiate clearly between Arabs and Iranians."

Uday said more than a dozen attempts had been made on his life.

"The attack was nothing unusual. It could happen any time, because we are surrounded by countries, some of whom are hostile," none more so than Iran, he said. "Time has proved that Iran is involved in such incidents. Incidents such as this have occurred throughout the region, not just in Iraq."

Matters of state
He warned that Iran is growing in power, saying it is "not in the interests of the United States to increase hostility and hatred in the region."

Iran, he said, "is working seriously and rapidly to try to arm, not with conventional arms, not just to buy tanks and planes for defensive purposes. Their armament effort is aimed at the next century."

Uday also said he believes fellow Arab nations will work to get United Nations economic sanctions lifted, so his country can again trade with the rest of the world.

Just one of the many reasons the Founding Fathers of the U.S. chose a Constitution, instead of a King.

LOL ... Amen ... Fortunately, the British have become our greatest allies in these Latter Times ...

Iraq: US orders Yahoo! to cut Uday's e-mail. Saddam Hussein's son has had to change his e-mail address after Yahoo closed his e-mail account, WorldNetDaily.com has reported. The termination of the account was requested by the U.S. Treasury Department, according to a message posted by Iraq's official daily paper, Babel, published by Uday Hussein, Saddam's eldest son.

The message said the account was cancelled although the newspaper had paid for it. The note added that the newspaper might sue Yahoo over the termination of the account. Babel was suspended for a month or orders, presumably direct from Saddam, because of its habit of citing western articles about him.

E-mail Uday Hussein direct on his new e-mail account.

The horrors of Saddam's 'sadist' son

---

By Tom Farrey
ESPN.com


In the history of the world, an expanse that covers Genghis Khan and Adolf Hitler and other despots both past and present, there is no shortage of absolute rulers whose human rights records compare with that of today's designated pariah, Saddam Hussein.


Since being charged with overseeing the Iraqi National Olympic Committee in 1984, Uday Hussein allegedly has made sport of imprisoning, torturing and murdering athletes.
There may never have been a sports official, though, as brutal as his son, Uday.

As president of the Iraqi National Olympic Committee, Uday allegedly tortures athletes for losing games. He sticks them in prison for days or months at a time. Has them beaten with iron bars. Caned on the soles of their feet. Chained to walls and left to stay in contorted positions for days. Dragged on pavement until their backs are bloody, then dunked in sewage to ensure the wounds become infected. If Uday stops by a player's jail cell, he might urinate on his bowed, shaven head. Just to humiliate him.

See? This proves that the Left in America should never have supported him! He's nothing like them. These are girls.

You have to admit their Alpine Camel Sniping Team was second to none.

Bill Clinton reads with envy...

Tales of torture Several former Iraqi athletes interviewed for Outside The Lines say they were tortured under orders by Iraqi National Olympic Committee chief Uday Hussein. Three have agreed to tell their own tales of abuse for ESPN.com:

Issam Thamer al-Diwan: Among Iraqi's most decorated volleyball players and coaches, al-Diwan says he was left shackled and contorted in painful positions for days at the whim of Uday Hussein.

Sharar Haydar: Imprisoned and tortured after he told INOC officials he planned to retire from the Iraqi national soccer team, Haydar eventually defected to Hungary to escape Uday Hussein's wrath.

Raed Ahmed: A 12-time Iraqi national weightlifting champion, Ahmed carried his country's flag at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. It was there, after seeing President Clinton applauding, that he decided to defect during the Games.

Uday Hussein Follows in Father's Bootsteps

There's nothing harder than being the son of a famous father. The pressure to compete, to even come close to achieving the father's luminescent achievements, can be crushing. Especially to a sensitive soul. Such is the case of Uday Hussein, a misunderstood child if ever there was one.

Uday has long been Saddam Hussein's problem child. He first came to worldwide notice when he clubbed his father's favorite servant to death. More recently he shot his uncle in the leg. Uday must have an anger problem.

In January he was the target of an assassination attempt, an event which left him suffering in a hospital bed for nearly half a year. It should surprise nobody that such a free spirit would feel a bit feisty upon arising, despite the bullet fragment said to be lingering in his spinal column.

Soon after emerging from the infirmary last month, Uday espied a comely Iraqi lass strolling through a grove near the palace. Inviting her home for some pleasantries, he became enraged when his advances somehow failed to yield their promised fruit. His wounds hampered his performance but his wrath was turned upon the unfortunate wench, whom he shot to death.

There can be few sinecures more lofty in the Mesopotamian republic than that of bodyguard to the Great Leader's son. Yet somehow the man who filled that post, Kamal al-Janabi, quarreled with. Uday and was shot to death by him, with a .357 magnum in a late-night argument on June 30 at the Jadriya presidential complex. Because Kamal was a kinsman, the murder caused acute embarrassment to the presidential family.

Uday's official job controlling much of Iraqi trade and media would seem to take up most of his time, but still he has time for sport. He is the head of the national football federation, and takes a great interest in the Iraqi national team's successes, much to the distress of its players.

Before the January assault he regularly attended home matches, dressing in tailored Italian suits and puffing his trademark cigar. On one occasion when he was late for a match he caused chaos and delayed play for hours by landing his helicopter on the pitch. On another occasion he ordered his bodyguards to open fire on spectators chanting anti-Saddam slogans. Dozens were killed.

When the Iraqi national team lost to Kazakhstan June 6, he fired the team's manager (lucky guy) and had the player's caned on the soles of their feet, beaten on their backs, and he told them to do better next time or face jail. The team lost again to Kazakhstan, kicking them out of the current world cup. Their fate is unknown.

It must be tough to excel with a worldwide trade embargo arrayed against you, football players who refuse to win despite exquisite coaxing, wenches who can't coax a boner out of a damaged spine, obstinate bodyguards, assassins everywhere, an unsympathetic father. So let's reach out to poor Uday Hussein in his time of need. With a grappling hook.

[netmilsmom]

Oh that was tooooo goood!!

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I read that Saddam's mistress said Saddam put the hit out on Uday. He was sorry Uday was not killed.

[Grampa Dave]

As soon as I saw this, it was logical to think that UDay supplied the little girls and taped Scotty in his acts of perversion. Then Scotty became the buddy of Soddomite and Uday and saw no WMDs anywhere.

SADDAM HUSSEIN'S SONS: One is flamboyant, the other is low-key

Both, however, have a reputation like dad's
March 19, 2003

BY SALAH NASRAWI
ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO, Egypt -- When President George W. Bush gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein until Wednesday to leave Iraq, he told him to take his sons with him.

While their styles are different, Uday Hussein, 39, and his brother, Qusay Hussein, 37, both have reputations for being as brutal and ruthless as their father.

Qusay Hussein, whom his father is believed to be grooming as his successor, is a low-key, ambiguous figure who moves in Saddam Hussein's shadow. His nickname among Iraqis is Mr. Snake.

His more widely known, flamboyant brother Uday Hussein calls himself Abu Sarhan, an Arabic euphemism for a wolf.

Characteristically, it was Uday Hussein who responded first to Bush's ultimatum, saying Bush is "unstable" and "should give up power in America with his family," in a statement distributed in Baghdad by the Iraqi Foreign Ministry.

Any attack on Iraq would leave "the wives and mothers of those who fight us constantly crying," he added. "They should not believe there is a single safe spot for them inside Iraq or outside Iraq."

Such talk is not unusual from Uday Hussein, who seemed to be Saddam Hussein's heir apparent before he was partially paralyzed in a 1996 assassination attempt. He lost favor with his father after a family rift five years ago.

Still, he remains a powerful figure in Iraq, although his extravagance and violent reputation have won him little popular support.

He commands Fedayeen Saddam, a paramilitary militia used by the regime to oppress internal foes. He has a seat in parliament, runs Iraq's most popular newspaper, Babil, and popular Youth TV channel, and heads the national Olympic committee.

Qusay Hussein, who for years has been in charge of the elite Republican Guard Corps and his father's personal security, was put in charge Saturday of defending the capital and heartland against any attack.

In meetings between Saddam Hussein and his senior commanders, Qusay Hussein always appears in well-tailored suits and kisses his father's hands, a sign of respect.

In his capacity as head of the special intelligence service, he is in charge of some of the notorious detention centers. Iraqi dissidents who worked close to Qusay Hussein say he was responsible for the killing of many political activists.

In 1998, Iraqi opposition and human-rights groups accused Qusay Hussein of ordering the executions of thousands of political prisoners. The reason: to make room for new prisoners in crowded jails. The report could not be independently verified.

thanks for reposting that information on Uday ...

Uday Hussein, 39, took eight bullets and lived. ...In 1988, Uday killed his father's favorite food taster, leaving Saddam Hussein incensed.
