#1 It also confirms Saddam is alive, but possibly in such bad shape that a video would hurt morale. This ought to help the morale of the average Iraqi more than anything, to ahve Odai and Qusai's death confirmed.

#2 More words from Sammy's tape:
The tape â the third attributed to Saddam this month â begins with a verse from the Quran. The speaker says Odai and Qusai, killed in a gunfight with U.S. forces in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul, would be martyrs in heaven.
"Even if Saddam Hussein has 100 children other than Odai and Qusai, Saddam Hussein would offer them the same way," "Thank God for what he destined for us, and honored us with their martyrdom for his sake," the speaker said in the broadcast, which was monitored in Cairo. The voice on the tape said it was recorded July 2003, but the exact date was not clear. The speaker called Odai and Qusai's deaths "good news, that is the hope of every fighter for God's sake, as another group of noble souls of the martyrs have ascended to their creator." The speaker also referred to Mustafa, Qusai's teenage son who also was killed in the six-hour gunfight.
"Odai, Qusai, and Mustafa died in Jihad field ... in a brave battle with the enemy.
"The aggression armies surrounding them with all kinds of weapons and ground troops were not able to conquer them until they used their warplanes on the house that they were in," the speaker said. The voice said Odai and Qusai died "for the sake of God, the nation, the people."

Another poor quality audio tape, Sammy hasn't released any video since the end of the war.

#3 Maybe we faked the tape, to confirm the fake bodies, to confirm the fake war, that we fought to find the fake WMDs.

And, all of this was to distract the public's attention from the faked Apollo landings on the fake moon.

Some people need more than proof. Thanks, Saddam, for doing your part, but the "Arab street" hasn't officially abandoned the notions that the 9/11 attacks were either committed by Bush, or the Jews.

You need a certified letter on a flaming sword held by an angel duct-taped to a Hellfire to sell facts to some people.

#4 I'm not so sure Uday was his son. Doesn't much look like him. Uday looks a lot more like a certain European. It seems to me that said European was in Baghdad around the time of Uday's conception. It would certainly explain a lot.

Compare the pictures!

#5 Mark IV, the certified letter on a flaming sword held by an angel duct-taped to a Hellfire wouldn't convince some people because my cousin's neighbor said that it was all a Zionist trick, the flaming sword and all.

Dishman, if you are going to post random stuff like that include a link to the 'certain European'. Otherwise its just meaningless drivel.

#6 Ok, here are the pictures:
Uday
'Who's your daddy?
Sorry for the obscurism.
Best I can figure, Uday was conceived in '67, and I haven't found anything putting Chirac in Baghdad until '72.

#7 Hmm if we could just find that randy chimp that got a hold of Barbara that would explain GWB
