Saddam Hussein's eldest son mercilessly beats girls as young as 12 on the soles of their feet if they refuse to sleep with him, Iraqi defectors said today.
Uday Hussein forces head teachers of schools in Baghdad's poorest districts to send pupils to his palace where he arranges dates with those he likes.
If the chosen girls annoy him in anyway they are dangled over a wooden beam held by his bodyguards and repeatedly hit with a wooden club, according to two former members of his inner circle who recently fled Iraq.
"He does it to a girl if she says she doesn't want to go out with him, or if she finds another boyfriend, or is late or reluctant," one defector told Vanity Fair magazine.
The 38-year-old warns victims not to flinch while the beating is administered or they will have their legs broken. He often hits them up to 50 times, the report claimed.
Afterwards, when they can barely walk, he orders them to dance.
Uday, head of Iraq's Olympic Committee, was known to have beaten football players and athletes when they lost.
The defectors said he also inflicted beatings, imprisonment and torture on close friends and business associates - simply for being late to a meeting or irritating him.
His punishments have become more brutal since an assassination attempt in 1996 which left him with walking difficulties and problems having sex.
Some victims have been branded on the buttocks with hot irons.
"Uday tells them, 'this mark is never going to go from your body, so you'll remember me until the day you die'," one defector said.
One former friend died after being held down and made to drink huge quantities of pure alcohol.
Business rivals have been shot in the arm or a leg and then allowed to bleed slowly to death.
Uday also likes to deflower virginity, knowing that no one will touch them after he has slept with them, the defectors said.
"He likes joking about with his friends: 'look at her, after this she'll be a prostitute'."
The defectors have been debriefed by MI6 and Pentagon officials and are regarded as reliable sources on the workings of Saddam's regime, the magazine said.
Intelligence officials believe Uday may have been in the bunker hit by a cruise missile in the "decapitation strike" on Baghdad in the first hours of the war.
His younger brother, Qusay, is Saddam's heir after Uday fell out of favour when he murdered a close friend of his father in 1988.
I hope the press doesn't "drop" this after the war is over and go back to covering stupid news, like car chases.
Let me put it this way: If I had tons of money and was in charge of the government, after the war is over, I'd round up the ignorant, stupid, "peace protesters" and 99.6% of the demacratic party, and 100% of the college "Proffesor's" put them on planes and fly them to Kuwait and Iraq. I'd give them all tours of Saddamm's torture chambers, and the museum in Kuwait that has stories of the children and people he had murdered. Then let them try to "explain" their wanting to keep Hussein in power to all the victims and familys of victims. At the very least, maybe some one could make a compialiation of stories of abuse at the hands of Saddam's regime (they could interveiw the Iraqi Americans ). Then MAKE the uninformed idiot "peaceniks" watch it. The cure for ignorance is knowlege .
( It would be sort of like what they did in WW II when the allies went into a town that had had a concentration camp. They took all the people who lived in the town and marched them through the camp. The people cried and fainted at seeing it and all the dead and starving people in it. The allies asked them: How could they NOT NOTICE something was wrong in their town? HOW COULD THEY LET THAT HAPPEN? I wish we could do some thing like that.)
God Bless our troops and the British troops and all who are with us, and God protect innocent Iraqi people and grant us a speedy victory. Amen
Dixie ping post 31 on this thread.
Saddam made his way to the Pearly Gates. There, he is greeted by George Washington. "How dare you attack the nation I helped conceive!" yells Mr. Washington, slapping Saddam in the face.
Patrick Henry comes up from behind. "You wanted to end the Americans' liberty, so they gave you death!" Henry punches Saddam on the nose.
James Madison comes up next, and says, "This is why I allowed the Federal government to provide for the common defense!" He drops a large weight on Saddam's knee. Saddam is subject to similar beatings from John Randolph of Roanoke, James Monroe, and 65 other people who have the same love for liberty and America.
As he writhes on the ground, Robert E. Lee picks him up to hurl him back toward the gate where he is to be judged. As Saddam awaits his journey to his final very hot destination, he screams,, "This is not what I was promised!"
An angel replies, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians waiting for you. What did you think I said?"
Bump for the listing of Uday's crimes and your observation of the left's hypocrisy.
Uday has likely died--either from a guard's gun butt ("cerebral hemorrhage") or 10,000 lbs of our precise HE.
Now being greeted by Satan with some remark such as, "You're late, b!tch."
Uday was under house arrest by order of his father three days ago. He was drunk and unstable. His father's body guards had to beat him because he was violent. He died of a brain injury.
Well, at least, I hope the rumors are true and he is truly dead.
