I think we're on the same wavelength. Familial relationships in the Hussein al-Tikriti clan are .. well let's just say complicated. Plenty of family members had scores to settle. I am more convinced Qusay may have had good reasons to go after dad. 1) Dad was destroying his inheiritance with his insane policy decisions. 2) Dad was vulnerable and Qusay enough of cold blooded calculating killer to do it.

I doubt that. Qusay appeared to be the one poised to take the reins for Saddam.

Uday was more of the 'disinherited' one in that respect, drawing his father's ire on many occasions.

However, I don't think Saddam was done in by either of these two. Just a feeling.

I'm inclined to think he is still alive. For now.

Qusay probably had more reasons to not get rid of Saddam, at least not at the present time.

It does appear he was being groomed for sucession. Uday was (past tense) too whacked, even for his father's tastes I imagine.
