Saddam's son beats 12-year-olds who say no to sex: defectors

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.

And Bin Laden says: Even though they are "secular" (moderate) muslims
we must support Saddam Hussein and Iraq as they fight our common enemy
-My paraphrase

Perhaps the Wahabbis can take over Iraq and straighten this all out...like they have in Saudi

[EllaMinnow]

I've been close to tears all day, and that photo just pushed me over the edge. Those beautiful girls. They look like my daughter's friends.
I thank God that I am an American, and I pray that all mothers everywhere can see their children grow up in freedom.

[NativeSon]

Think N.O.W. will organize a committee to help these victims of sexual abuse?

C'mon, it's just about s*x. <\sarcasm>

[exnavy]

Uday will have his day.

Kill him dead.

[piasa]

Yeah, but if the leftists can discredit only one of those stories, they will then say everyone was lying and there were no atrocities committed. That's what they did to the history of Kuwait when they dissed the baby incubator story by first exaggerating it out of proportion and then discrediting the witness using both "guilt by association" and the testimony of Palestinian doctors - who may very well have been collaborators with the Iraqis in the first place since at least one fled Kuwait AFTER it was liberated, at a time when the country would theoretically need him most. Now the left insists that the Iraqis always had treated the Kuwaitis with sweetness and light and the administration "lied about Iraq" on the basis of that one person's allegedly questionable testimony given to congress on behalf of a Kuwaiti expat group.

Never mind all the testimony from numerous other people that has never been refuted because the scars are still present.

Stories and pictures and video that will rival the Holocaust will soon surface.

This is true. Will the American 5th column finally get the clue? Nope :(

[marshmallow]

And the US too, apparently.

Remember when Saddam was the "not so bad" bad guy, who we supported and armed against the "bad" bad guy, Iran? Well apparently now, Saddam is the "bad" bad guy and Iran is the "not so bad" bad guy. Confusing isn't it?

We had the opportuinity to eliminate this punk 12 years ago and we turned our back on it. Now he's really evil and has to go. Maybe he's worse now than when we supported him. Yeah, that's it. He was a good guy and it all went wrong.

Still, it's good to be able to bash the Vatican for our problems, isn't it? This is all their fault, of course.

Just as well morality is not what American policy happens to be at any particular point in time. We'd all get confused real quick, wouldn't we?

[HardStarboard]

I think we probably got him in the "leadership bunker" strike the first night.

The only sad thing is that he did not die slowly!!!

[Riley]

>>And he is finding out that when Allah was talking about 72 virgins, he meant goats.


I think that there was a serious miscommunication here.

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?"

Heck, American liberals & dems emulate this slug.

Pictures can be faked(sarcasm)

[Conservababe]

Rumor is that Uday was killed three days ago by his father's body guards as he was having one of his violent episodes.

[Warren]

Exactly! Betcha Saddam and sons would commit suicide before allowing capture by other muslims, but that is what I would like to see too. Turn him over to the Iranians. I have heard
they know how to punish people they feel need punishment

[cartoonistx]

Uday is currently suspended over a flaming vat of sewage by his testicles, being gang raped by razorback hogs, in full view of 72 histerically laughing black-eyed virgins.

[Mo1]

I hope the stories of his body guards beating him to death are true .. and I hope he rots in hell

[Grampa Dave]

Uday and Scott Ritter, the pervert probably double dated.

No wonder Scottie, the pervert defended the mass rapist, Soddomite!

[hardcor]

that's a plan: give Saddaam to the Iranians. next step, dump UBL in Times Square and tell everybody where they can find him.
