And be grateful they got out alive.
Saddam Hussein's eldest daughter Raghd has accused close aides of her father of betraying the former Iraqi president and says he told her to leave Baghdad as U.S. forces closed in.
Describing the collapse of her father's 24-year iron rule in April, Raghd told Dubai-based Al Arabiya television in an interview on Friday she was in Baghdad with her sister Rana sitting by the radio all night following the news and praying.
Apparently not official Iraqi radio, however, since Baghdad Bob swore to the end there were no US Troops anywhere near Baghdad. Does this mean that Raghd knew Iraqi radio was mere propaganda and could not be trusted?
Raghd, 36, who along with Rana, 34, was offered asylum in Jordan after arriving in Amman on Thursday with their nine children, did not give a date for Saddam's instruction to quit. U.S.-forces captured Baghdad on April 9...
The husbands of Raghd and Rana were both killed in 1996 on the orders of Saddam, whom she described as a "very good father", after being accused of giving information about Iraq's weapons to the West...
Your father lied to you and your husband then had your husband killed for trying to do right by the rest of the world (ditto for your sister's husband) and you contend he was a "good father"??? You are as sick as the rest of your pitiful, worthless, may-they-burn-in-hell family including your psychotic brothers.
"This is an act of treason," she said. "It was a big shock. It was clear, unfortunately the people who he had absolutely trusted, his right hand men... as I understood, the main betrayal was by them.".
Raghd was clad in black and a white veil in a sign of mourning. Her two brothers Qusay and Uday were killed by U.S. forces last month.
"If somebody doesn't like you, they should not betray you. Betrayal is not a trait of Arabs," said Raghd.
Betrayal is not a trait of Arabs? But apparently it is OK to maim and torture and kill tens of thousands of Shi'ites and Kurds and enemies of the Ba'ath party - its OK to do that because that IS a trait of Arabs?
Just shut up. Please, just shut up.
My guess is that a whole lot of Arabs would like you to just shut up too.
