Two of the most malignant and cruel mass murderers, rapists and torturers to ever walk the Earth have departed the planet — and the Left sneers. There was a time — I can remember it clearly, though it seems a lifetime ago — when “liberals” were people who fought for humanity and human rights, people who despised murder and torture. Now, wherever we look, the people who call themselves the most “liberal” seem to be the sole remaining defenders of murder, rape, and torture. What the hell has happened to those people? I was very happy today when I heard...

Saddam Hussein is believed to have been with his two sons Uday and Qusay moments before the U.S. attacked and killed them in their safe house in Mosul, Iraq last Tuesday. According to intelligence sources cited by the London Sunday Times, a single satellite signal from a phone known to belong to Saddam was picked up during the bombardment of the building where the Hussein sons were hiding out. Soldiers from the 101st Airborne searched a nearby villa which had been pinpointed as the source of the satellite signal but the Iraqi dictator had apparently already fled. Citing U.S. military...

The Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq says a decision on the burial of the sons of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, Uday and Qusay, will be announced within the next 24 hours. The Coalition Provisional Authority says it will announce the final steps involved in burying Saddam Hussein's sons Monday. U.S. troops killed the two Tuesday in a firefight in the northern city of Mosul. A coalition spokesman, who asked not to be named, said it had to carry out a number of procedures before the bodies could be buried. Traditionally, Middle Eastern burial practices require that interment take place...

<p>WASHINGTON — With the war effort in Iraq bearing fresh fruit, some campaign experts say Democrats may want to do themselves a favor and tone down the harsh criticism of President Bush.</p> <p>"I think [the news of Uday's and Qusay's deaths] helps. I think it's moving in the right direction," said Fox News political analyst Al D'Amato (search). "I think that it dispels the rumors that we are doing nothing in Iraq, and [indicates] that we will eventually capture or kill Saddam."</p>

<p>PUNISHED PIMP: Thug Ali Hussein Ali had his arm chopped after incurring Uday's wrath.</p> <p>July 27, 2003 -- BAGHDAD - Uday Hussein is dead, but he will always haunt this frail woman behind the veil. She was a 16-year-old virgin when Uday's henchmen plucked her in just her second week in college and the sex-mad son of Saddam Hussein raped her.</p>

In his famous short story "The Things They Carried," writer Tim O'Brien shows that you can learn a great deal about men by what they take into battle. IN THE CASE OF the platoon he described slogging through the rice fields in 'Nam, those items included love letters from home, grenades and land mines, lucky charms, insecticide, copies of Stars and Stripes, fingernail clippers, bags of marijuana, bandages, psyop leaflets and tanning lotion. "Often," O'Brien writes, "they carried each other, the wounded and the weak." And what did Uday Hussein carry to the fight? After a hot and noisy siege...

Olga Craig in Mosul reveals how Uday and Qusay Hussein were betrayed by a family friend to whom they were worth far more dead than alive All day, glaziers from Nawaf Al Zaidan's contracting firm had been working on the windows of their employer's ornate, three-storey villa on the boulevard of Al Falaha in Mosul. Mukhlis Jubori, Zaidan's next-door neighbour and closest friend, was curious. The windows did not need replacing and glass has been scarce since the war. Where was Zaidan, he wondered? He hadn't seen him for almost three weeks. That Sunday a week ago, as he watched...

Husseins belong to family: council Sunday 27 July 2003, 10:05 PM Iraq's transitional Governing Council wants the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay to be given to their family, council member Samir Shaker Mahmud al-Sudayii said.Interviewed at a meeting of Baghdad's municipal council, al-Sudayii, a Sunni Muslim entrepreneur, told AFP that, if no one claimed the corpses, "other measures will be taken".However, he added that he expected the US-led coalition to follow the executive body's recommendation.Earlier in the day, Sheikh Mahmud al-Nada, leader of the Bunasser tribe allied to Saddam, told the Qatar-based satellite television network al-Jazeera...

By Israel Shamir 05/25/03: War is crime, but this is the manly crime defying effeminate mores and rigid society. The most convinced pacifist can be carried away by the sight of charging cavalry, attacking troops, roaring tanks and fighter jets taking off a desert strip. Not in vain, women admired warriors, poets sung their mighty deeds, and priests anointed their heads. We can fetch a Roman adage or a Koranic verse, a line from Shakespeare or Nietzsche to praise a leader of men and disregard the costs of war. We can forgive a bloodshed, it's sordid affairs that can't ever...

A CHIEF executioner to one of Saddam’s sons has revealed how he helped drag two victims into a cage to be devoured by lions. The executioner said that he was ordered to seize two 19-year-old students and take them to a farm of Uday Hussein, Saddam’s oldest son who was killed by American forces last week. As soon as they arrived the students were dragged to a cage containing the lions and forced inside. “I saw the head of the first student literally come off his body with the first bite,” he said. He then had to stand and watch...

Women condemned the publication of photographs of Saddam Hussein's dead sons yesterday, while men supported it. Speaking in the cafe of the Imperial War Museum in London, Kate Dodsworth said of the pictures: "I think they're quite shocking, almost titillating photographs. "I do understand that in Iraq people may need to see the images to understand that two perpetrators of the regime have gone, but I don't believe that in this country people need to see the photos to believe that they're gone. So for us I think it's just grotesque photos which don't need to be published at all."...

MIDI - IT'S OVER The scum will never torture anymore They were both evil and vain...certifiably insane They're where the weather's always very hot Uday cannot drive his Porsche...eat caviar or seasoned borsch Are there virgins where he's gone? No, there are not It's over Qusay killed many men...he can't do that again The secret police are gone...DemocRATS have said, "It's very wrong...it's wrong" It's over...Uday...it's over...Qusay...it's over Tommy Daschle's very sad...Howard Dean is being bad 'Cause George Bush will get the credit, after all RATS are really going nuts...and Dubya keeps kicking their butts They keep knocking their...

The deaths of Qusay and Uday Hussein at the hands of American forces has evoked a hurricane from the Left over the approriateness of the action. Your Curmudgeon can't see what all the shouting is about. The sons of Saddam Hussein were arguably responsible for more evil than their notorious father. We have well confirmed reports that, between them, they operated kidnap-and-rape squads, torture centers, and facilities where various persons who displeased them were diced with chain saws or fed feet first into shredding machines. One even attempted to assassinate the other, some years back. If anyone deserved to die...

A U.S. military official said "facial reconstruction" was used to repair wounds, particularly to the face of the elder son Uday, which had disfigured the bodies shown originally to the public in photographs taken by soldiers after the battle. An uncharacteristic beard on the body of Qusay, seen in those U.S. pictures, had been shaved off, leaving a mustache. Inside the tent, U.S. officials said it was standard practice to use morticians putty to prepare bodies for viewing and was not intended to fool the Iraqi people. But while it may be common in the United States, the move is...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Striving to convince fearful Iraqis that Saddam Hussein's sons are dead, U.S. officials showed Reuters and other journalists two bodies Friday that Washington says it is certain are those of Uday and Qusay. But unlike grisly, blood spattered photographs published by the U.S. military earlier, the faces had been touched up and shaved to make them more closely resemble the brothers in life -- a U.S. official insisted the aim was not to deceive. About 15 journalists saw two corpses laid out in a tented military morgue. They did look like the two brothers, whom U.S. troops...

<p>NDER ABSTRACT notions of war, our killing of Saddam Hussein's sons was acceptable. Uday and Qusay Hussein carried out their father's wishes as genocidal murderers, torturers, and rapists. Their damnable lives made it so easy to praise their deaths.</p> <p>Paul Bremer, the head of civilian restoration in Iraq, said, ''It's a great day for the Iraqi people and a great day for the American military, who once again showed their astounding professionalism.'' Tom Daschle, the Senate Democratic leader, said the deaths were ''a big win for the people of Iraq, our troops, and the world.'' The headline on a Washington Post editorial proclaimed it was ''A good day in Iraq.''</p>

<p>BAGHDAD — Uday Hussein's (search) personal bodyguard broke a three-month silence yesterday to give the first authoritative account of how Saddam (search) and his sons spent the war.</p> <p>In an exclusive interview with The Times of London, the bodyguard claimed that, far from fleeing Baghdad, the three men held out in the capital for at least a week after its fall.</p>

The US government has released photographs of what it claims are Saddam Hussein's dead sons. Ananova: US releases pictures of Saddam's sons' bodies The US government has released photographs of what it claims are Saddam Hussein's dead sons. It is their bid to convince sceptical Iraqi's they had not survived the Mosul gun battle. The US says the pictures show the upper body and head of Uday, 39, and two of Qusay, 37. One of the photos apparently shows Uday with a thick beard and severely bruised face. Also released were photographs of the brothers when they were alive and...
