Saddam was married to Hussein Kamel, who defected to Jordan with his brother in 1995 and disclosed evidence about Iraq's weapons program. He and his brother - Rana's husband - were persuaded to return to Iraq in 1996 and were promptly killed.

In other news, Saddam's eldest daughter is a goddamn idiot. Welcome to the dustbin of history.

Wouldn't her surname be Hussein?

 

[Lawman]

Oh wierd they changed it. Because I copy pasted that from the 3rd to last paragraph.

 

[VarmintShooter]

Ahhh, I see now ... the topic name was changed too (to remove the daughter's first name) ... guess it was a problem?

Anyway, the point was that her dad is a hero.

Just like Baghdad Bob said we wern't anywhere near Baghdad when you could almost see the tanks rolling by in the background. These people have ran their lives this way for the past 700 years. They talk big, kill people to try to back up what they are saying, but are really nothing but a bunch of fools traped in the 12th century. Its gonna be interesting to see what happens ...

 

[JAC01]

for guys that are trapped in the 12th century they sure are getting on our modern nerves...

Exactly, they don't like our modern ways - therefore they think its their responsibility to bring us back in time to the days of Muhammed (I don't what time period he lived in off the top of my head, so no need to correct me on which century, just used the 12th as a general reference ...)

 

[JAC01]

it was the seventh century...maybe you oversimplifying things a tad?
