Photographs of Saddam Hussein's feared sons laid out in plastic body bags were released by the US today in a bid to convince sceptical Iraqis that neither would follow their father into power. The pictures, taken after Uday and Qusay Saddm Hussein's bodies were removed from a house in Mosul on Tuesday, show the heads and torsos of the two.

Uday was clearly recognisable, despite having a thick beard and a wound that had destroyed part of his nose and upper lip.

He appeared to have been killed by a bullet in the head, but it was not known whether he had been shot by US firepower or had committed suicide.

“Bush’s Fault.”

Bush knew but wanted Halliburton to plan and execute the raid :)

Just in the nick of time.

I guess we will see the pictures of the dead osama shortly after Iran ignites its first ICBM air burst over Europa @2015..?

This is armature hour on a global scale.

IDK, because he is one?

My husband is convinced that this is so, because he sure isn’t acting like an American.
