Qusay is spelled "kusai" in cartoon #2 a word which appropriately means foul smelling in Japanese.

JIHAD ONLINE.net: "Iraq: English Articles: "MEMBERS OF "SADDAM FEDAYEEN" VOW TO AVENGE KILLING OF UDAY AND QUSAY" -Posted by "Admin" (ARTICLE: "Iraqi fighters describing themselves as Saddam Hussein's Fedayeen militia Thursday vowed to intensify attacks on American troops and their Iraqi collaborators to avenge the killing of his sons Uday and Qusay, in a video aired on Al-Arabiya television. "The occupation forces said the killing of Uday and Qusay will reduce attacks ... We tell them it will increase attacks," said one of a group of hooded gunmen who pledged to continue "the jihad against infidels". Meanwhile, some members of the Iraqi Governing Council have been shown the bodies of Saddam's sons, which are being kept at Baghdad International Airport, said a US spokesman. "There isn't the slightest doubt in our minds that these are the bodies of Uday and Qusay,"the spokesman said. Source: Albawaba") (July 25, 2003) (Read More...)

ISLAM ONLINE.net: "QUSAY, UDAY POSSIBLY KILLED IN MOSUL RAID: U.S. OFFICIAL" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""We will kill the spies and those who deal with them ... We will kill any soldier sent by an Arab or foreign country to our land," vowed Iraqi fighters. In a related development, an Iraqi resistance group called Saraya al-Jihad (Jihad Brigades) called for a guerrilla war against U.S. troops and for the killing of Iraqis who collaborate with the occupiers. "We will kill the spies and traitors collaborating with the Americans," said a statement read by five armed hooded men sitting on the floor with a small portrait of Saddam on a wall behind them. In a video aired by Al-Jazeera Monday, they urged Iraqis not to deal with the "traitors," a reference to U.S.-appointed Iraqi officials such as members of the newly-unveiled Governing Council. "We ask our people: what are you doing about the killing of women, children and elderly men? ... We will avenge them and we will make the ground shake under the feet of those who killed them," said the men, who took turns reading from a sheet. "We want to say that we will sacrifice ourselves for our religion and country ... Liberate Iraq through guerrilla warfare," they averred. "We will kill the spies and those who deal with them ... We will kill any soldier sent by an Arab or foreign country to our land," vowed one of the speakers.") (July 22, 2003) (Read More...)

Those are some damb ugly 72 virgins in that cartoon #6.... ;^)

[Jeff Chandler]

#6 reminds me of the joke:

About a dozen of Saddam's doubles were nervously awaiting the news about Saddam. In walks a general who announces "I have good news and bad news. The good news is Saddam survived the bombing. The bad news is he lost a leg."

LOL... :)

Ixnay is great! Thank you for sharing.

My pleasure, publius1. I don't know how anyone can seriously question whether or not these deaths helped GW with respect to Iraq - of course this helped GW and the USA!

Re your post #3 - Very interesting; thanks for pointing that out, Rubber Duck.

Why is #3 from Austria in English?

[summer]

I have no idea - but it didn't surprise me for some reason. Maybe it was translated prior to being posted on that site.
