| Saddam son warns Americans |
| 2003-01-24 |
| Saddam Hussein's elder son on Friday warned the U.S. of an ignominious defeat should it attempt to invade Iraq. In a broadcast on the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite , Uday warned that "September 11 would be a picnic" compared to the "losses" expected if it committed "the grand stupidity" of invading Iraq. "They (the U.S.) would be paying a dear price they could never imagine," he said. Uday was speaking in a rarely televised address at the Baghdad Iraqi press syndicate, of which he is the chairman. "It is better for the Americans to keep themselves away from us," Uday was quoted as saying. Uday said the Americans could get more gains from Iraq without war, saying that Washington would fail in its attempt to oust Saddam Hussein. "They can get much more from Iraq by dialogue without resorting to the logic of force and war," he said. We'll reserve a spot for you next to your dad on the scaffold. How's that for dialogue? |

| #5 You guys got the origin of Uday all wrong. Uday is just pig latin for Dude, a ghetto gang term. |

| #2 No, "Qusay" is arabic for "shit-house rat", Uday means "psychotic shithead"... Hope it helps. |

| #1 Isn't "Uday" Arabic for "grease spot"? also, notice how if you remove the names for who has spoken this type of dialog that you cant tell if this came from Iraq, the Goverment of France or a Democratic party apparatchik. |
