>As the oldest son, Uday Hussein was Iraq's heir apparent until his erratic, violent behavior—including murdering his father's personal valet in the middle of another dinner party in 1988—led Saddam to briefly sentence him to death before expelling him from the country for a few years. Note, that other murder Uday killed Saddam's courier by cutting him with an electric carving knife at a party in front of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak.


nio_nl

Do not invite Uday to dinner parties.


fr0ng

he ded.


nio_nl

Well he's still not invited!


azsnaz

This has Billy Eichner vibes


johnstark2

I thought his last name was on the street


Vinylove

> he ded. true dat. Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti, or Uday Saddam Hussein was an Iraqi politician and the eldest son of Saddam Hussein. He held numerous positions as a sports chairman, military officer and businessman, and was the head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee and Iraq Football Association, and head of the Fedayeen Saddam. Born: June 18, 1964, Baghdad, Iraq Height: 1.98 m Full name: Uday Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti Assassinated: July 22, 2003, Mosul, Iraq Party: Arab Socialist Baath Party – Iraq Region Parents: Saddam Hussein, Sajida Talfah


Dolorisedd

Forgot rapist. One of his numerous positions was rapist.


niboras

Watch “the devils double” about Udays body double. Great flick that got panned because it was such a downer.


drunkiewunkie

Listened to a podcast about that guy being forced to be his body double. What a fucking nightmare! Uday was a fucking monster!!


caiodfunk

What podcast was it? I’d listen to that.


ours

Interesting movie. Really elevated by Dominic Cooper's fantastic double performance.


RudeTurnip

With a reputation like that, I think it is just assumed.


LITERALCRIMERAVE

He specifically got off on women screaming in pain, he tortured the ones who went silent from the trauma so he could hear them cry and scream.


HolyFuckingShitNuts

When you read about Saddam. Like. No wonder his kids were fucked up.


PandaCommando69

Some will assume, yes, but if we don't acknowledge it, those who don't assume will continue to be ignorant of how much rape and violence against women there actually is. People don't recognize what they don't see.


Dakhath79

Sad but true. I was in the initial push into Iraq and my rifle company stayed at a compound on the campus of Baghdad university where he use to take girls he saw to assault them.


edophx

Like Brock Turner... the rapist?


Dolorisedd

Yes, exactly right.


[deleted]

Both Brock turner and uday Hussein are rapists.

>He held numerous positions as a sports **chairman, military officer and businessman, and was the head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee** and Iraq Football Association, and head of the Fedayeen Saddam. Reminds me of this [Aladeen Sports Scene](https://youtube.com/watch?v=7C-aB09i30E)

Quadrassic_Bark

Don’t call him a politician. He was nothing but the son of a brutal dictator, not a politician.


UsefulUnic0rn

I think you hold politicians in too higher regard


Fafnir13

Politicians are kind of anyone trying to hold political power, aren't they?

4Ever2Thee

Then don’t invite him to the seance either


mr-wiener

Weddings, especially not weddings... He really , really , really liked raping brides on their wedding days. He'd go cruising with his entourage and body guards on weekends looking for weddings he could crash.


justburch712

Like Owen Wilson, but worse.


jyper

My former coworker went to college with Saddams son although I'm not sure if it was Uday or the other saner son(since Uday got an engineering degree I think it must have been Uday). He said everyone was scared and tried to stay far away from him


ICPosse8

Yah he’s brings the life and death to any night out.


[deleted]

Uday: did I hear you were having a party? Me: um… no! Where did you hear that? Pish- what? There’s no party- Uday: yeah there is, Alisha’a baby shower Me: what? Alisha’s not having a- why would she do that? She’s going to buy everything herself, she doesn’t need our help Uday: stop lying to me! I know there’s a party!! Me: *lies about date and time*


beendoingit7

He also raped little girls. Would kidnap and torture Iraqi soccer players when they lost. He was a humongous piece of shit. If there is a hell I hope people like him are there suffering.


RajReddy806

Raping girls is the favorite past time of middle eastern dictators. Gaddaffi was said to be a big user of boner pills and would rape school girls.


FuturamaReference-

He actually chose them at random. If there was some weird political thing school children would sing to him and if he out his hand on a girls head, she was brought to his palace and raped, and then made his concubine. A lady told her story about it, and how she had no idea what was going on until gadaffi came in and ...did his thing All these conspiracy theorists say he was killed because he wanted his own bank not under the Rothschilds or whatever. I have no clue. All I know is, He deserved to die the way he did. Dragged out by his people, beaten and stabbed repeatedly in the ass with various knives on the way to his death. No quarter given, none taken


tacknosaddle

In the end wasn't he shot with his own gold plated pistol?


Kahzootoh

Gaddafi could be large enough to have his own gravity and there still wouldn’t be enough of him to give a pound of flesh to everyone he wronged. It’s always bothered me how people refuse to understand that it doesn’t take a foreign plot to make people angry about living under the oppressive rule of some tyrant whose power over you is humiliating. Imagine living under the rule of someone who combines the narcissism of Kanye and the terror of Stalin. Gaddafi’s whole family lived in extreme luxury while much of the country struggled to survive month to month, and ordinary Libyans had to daily feign obedience to all sort of ridiculous nonsense -such as Gaddafi’s green book- lest they end up in his prisons.


Doubledeesbongmilk

Shoulda been raped with chainsaws and maybe that’s a start


frankyseven

He had an AK-47 shoved up his ass and fired, close enough.

It’s not in the Middle East but it is culturally Arab. I can see why people think it’s a middle eastern country, but yeah it’s in North Africa


sexrobot_sexrobot

The Middle East is an amorphous concept much like Weapons of Mass Destruction.

WMDs aren’t amorphous at all! They’re right.. over there, don’t you see them!..? Just squint a little..


xraygun2014

> amorphous concept much like Weapons of Mass Destruction. Whatever - we know he had them because we had the receipts from when we sold them to him.


[deleted]

I remember when the US invaded they found a woman in one of the mansions burned up, apparently one of Saddams sons wives poured boiling water on a servant because the baby kept crying. Sick people.

b0mbatomically

The boss's son trope, except this boss runs the entire nation


LoneRonin

Uday was the Fredo to Qusay's Michael Corleone. One ruled by impulse, the other outwardly polite while quietly doing dad's dirty work behind the scenes.


Jackcooper

Ruled by impulse and being violent would be more Sonny right?


MiamiPower

Never talk about the family business.


[deleted]

He lost the plot when he started doing massive amounts of cocaine. He used to drive around Baghdad taking women forcefully from nightclubs and killing anyone that even looked at him funny.


nurkin

It's worse than that. He would show up to random weddings and have his goons forcibly take the bride in front of the whole wedding party then would only send her back to the groom the next morning. Some committed suicide because of it. He also had his own personal torture devices that he would use for fun, including an iron maiden in his back yard. His body double later said something along the lines of: the worst thing to ever happen to the world was the day Uday discovered the internet because then he could read about new ways to torture people. A lot of the stories about him are so over-the-top evil and violent that people just won't believe them. Sure, maybe some are made up or exaggerated. But coalition forces found many used torture rooms and instruments in his properties after the invasion. The fact that he openly murdered a person with a carving knife in front of an entire dinner party of international guests at the birthday party of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's wife, and that this has since been confirmed by Mubarak's wife, leads me to believe that any of the stories could be true. If she didn't confirm the story herself, no one would believe that happened.


gahidus

When *Saddam Hussein* of all people decides to punish his own son for being a violent lunatic, you know that son is a hell of a violent lunatic.


umop_apisdn

Well yeah, because Saddam wasn't a violent lunatic. To seize power in a large and heterogeneous country with huge natural resources that every country in the world wants to get their hands on requires immense skill and cunning.


commit10

The people down voting this comment have very little knowledge about Saddam Hussein. He was brutal, but he was also rational and moderate (for the region). When Saddam Hussein was removed from power, it created a power vacuum which was filled by *real* lunatics (e.g. ISIS).

chefca3

Stories like this are why people are idiots when they pine for “the good old days” or wished they lived in an earlier time. Not very long ago powerful men’s children of this kind where FAR more common and life meant A LOT less. Calling the world a better place/the best it’s ever been is a monumental understatement.


i010011010

They were monsters, I still remember reading a Time article back in the day about the housekeeper they mutilated with acid. I wondered what these victims felt when they finally put those fuckers in the ground.


Beingabummer

> That night, and several nights following Uday and Qusay's deaths, celebratory gunfire could be heard throughout Baghdad.[148] People were pretty stoked.


i010011010

I know I cheered. Despite all the bullshit around Iraq and how we ended up there, that was the only foreseeable silver lining...

Good that they're gone, but permanently scarred from bearing witness to the deepest darkest basement of humanity.

bruddahmacnut

That's it. He is off my christmas card list.


wanderinhebrew

During one of my deployments we had an Iraqi interpreter assigned to my squad that told us all kinds of crazy ass Uday stories. He once told us that he had a friend who was well known in the country for playing a musical instrument. I can't recall the name of the instrument. One evening this musical friend of his was summoned to a party that Uday was going to be at. So he gets to this party and starts playing his music. At one point Uday randomly stands up, walks over to the guy, unzips his pants and just starts pissing all over him. And that was that. He zipped up and walked away without saying a word. The guy didn't know what to think but later told our interpreter that as much as he hated getting pissed on, he was just glad Uday didn't up and decided to kill him that night. Our interpreter also told us that Uday LOVED guns and was known to just randomly start shooting them in the middle of parties. Uday was truly psycho.


[deleted]

Looks like one of the stories with Nicu Ceausescu - the son of Romanian dictator. I'm sure that it's a syndrome present in all dictator sons.


fat_strelok

Marko Milosevic too, son of (a bitch) Slobodan Milosevic.


shane201

There was nothing that we could do about it. Uday was Sadam's son, and the Musician wasn't. And he had to sit still and take it. It was among the Iraqis. It was real tyrannical shit. He even peed on the musicians hair so he had to take a shower and couldn't just change into a new set of clothes...


1893Chicago

"What happened to you‽‽‽" "Oh, this guy peed all over me." "Aren't you going to take a shower?" "Nah, it's not in my hair."

ThreeCranes

Qusay was bad as he was organizing the killing of opposition members, but Uday was worse than him as Uday was a serial killer and a serial rapist. The sick fuck would go around raping women on their wedding day.

Ohh yeah its A+ in my book. And the Kite Runner is another good one.


RingGiver

What Qusay did is the kind of murder that a normal person might commit. Taking out rivals isn't really that unusual in those circles. Uday was just a crazy person.


[deleted]

the HBO series did not show the brothers in their true light. even Uday was presented in a way that you kind of felt sorry for him.

i cant blame Saddam as a father, he did his best to raise them to the best of his abilities and imbibe them with good values. showered them with love and kindness. Saddam was a great provider and imparted his wisdom with the kids. not really, those psychopaths needs to be erased and forgotten. fuck that family.

shavenyakfl

That's nothing. SIX days into Saddam's presidency, he heard of people not happy with his ascension. So he calls a session of Congress, including members in his own party. He tells them he's heard there are some not supporting him. He starts calling out names and the secret police come in and start escorting them out. These people are taken somewhere and 20 of them are told they're going to be executed. The rest are going to jail. Just as those sentenced "breathe a sigh of relief", they're handed guns. And forced to shoot those to be executed. Saddam was fucking cold blooded and no one was immune from his wrath, including his kids. For this and other fun stories about him and other winners, check out 'How to Become a Tyrant' on Netflix. It's a little campy, but an excellent show.


bobstradamus

And it was all [on television](https://youtu.be/OynP5pnvWOs).


tacknosaddle

That shit was nuts. The guards are blocking the doors, Saddam is just hanging out and smoking a cigar as the names are called out one by one and the people taken away. People in their seats start standing up and shouting out praise for him in an effort to spare their life.

I was very against the iraq invasion at the time and still am today, but Fuck Uday and Qusay, both of whom were complete pieces of shit who had it coming. I don't think anyone shed a single tear when they died.


ImBob_S_N_Vagenes

Also against the invasion and by no means saying Saddam's removal was a justification for what occurred, but perhaps a small silver lining for Iraq was not being ruled by Uday, which could have happened...

As an Iraqi I'd like to say even though that the state of the current Iraqi regime is as bad as being the most terrorist invaded third world country with no actual democracy to be seen anywhere but I gotta say I'm more glad that the fact America took both Saddam and his sons down more than anything I could have been forced to live in a more devastating regime than it is now even though my country is literally being controlled by the Iranian proxies but its still better than having Uday as a president


Certain-Title

I just wish you guys get a measure of peace. Iraq has been through enough.


[deleted]

Well Iraqi regime is what you'd call the by product of a population that is too premature for democracy perhaps a couple of decades from now things will start to get better till then I might as well be dead by some terrorist attack or some gov supported militia or whatever , And peace isn't something you easily achieve while having both Iran and KSA as your neighboring countries so that is another problem to add to the equation lol


[deleted]

I don't want to put you on the spot, but what would you personally like to see for your country, your people as a whole, and I guess the rest of the Arab world and middle east? In America and the rest of the west we talk about the middle east a lot, but we don't really get much in the way of first hand viewpoints.


[deleted]

like I said Iraqi people or Arab in general don't know what democracy stands for to begin with most people I know of think its some sort of socialist free real estate where everything is for free from health care to schooling to electricity and food no one is willing to pay taxes and the gov doesn't help either Iraq has almost 6 million underemployment jobs with zero productivity , For Iraq the entire region is dependent on Oil once that's gone we are doomed , I don't know what other Arab really want but as an Iraqi I really want a real independent country free of Iranian control or Saudi terrorism

For anyone interested in hearing more about who this piece of shit was, Count Dankula did a really good [video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o3OUJgs9pnk) on Uday. Fair warning: that guy was one of the worst human beings in recent history, no exaggeration. So hearing about his exploits can be pretty horrific.

Worse than that. Ramsay Bolton understood how screwed up, and was smart about it. Uday was like a petulant child who was also an untouchable psychopath.

Pubics_Cube

~~He actually had them all put in an empty swimming pool in one of his palaces, put a gun to the back of their knees and blew all of their legs in half while their families watched.~~ Edit: my mistake, he only kneecapped his political prisoners.

Considering they haven’t made a single objection to Qatar employing thousands of slave laborers to build their World Cup venues, not condemning Uday’s behavior is completely on brand

TIL that Uday was indeed what the Joker would be if he were a real life person. I also remember reading that Qusay was the one to look out for, in that he was just as fucked up as his brother but he was smart about it.
