They’ll be given a proper Muslim burial. But, first, they’ll be shipped to the white house. Bush, Cheney, and Rummy will merrily dance around the bodies, stabbing them with their steely knives. :rolleyes: :eek: ---

_What will they do with the rotting bodies? What will they do with the rotting bodies? What will they do with the rotting bodies? Ear-lye in the morning!_ Not that I have anything against producing the corpses as evidence of the brothers deaths, but does this remind anyone of the Old West when the Bad Guys® would be shot down and then displayed in their coffins? ---

We could mummify them, like Lenin…hang the mummies in a glass case in Baghdad, charge “two bits a gander,” and use the proceeds to help rebuilt Iraq. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by badmana \* > \*\*Umm, are there any family members that aren’t wanted by the Americans? > > Come this way folks! The bodies are over there in that jail cell…_click_! \*\* I read in the paper earlier this week that two of Saddam’s daughters are living in a small town north of Baghdad. They’re not suspected of having any involvement with the operation of the regime, so presumably could claim the bodies.
