Lines in the Sand: A History of the Gulf War

Uday killed him ITTL.

Thanks to the (long) hiatus, most readers have apparently forgotten that Uday murdered his brother.

Such maneuvering did not go unnoticed by Uday however and as luck would have it the matter of fortuitous timing was on his side when the news of their father’s death reached him. March 14 found both brothers within a command bunker in Baghdad listening to scattered reports of the ongoing Marine attacks along Highway 615 when a frantic report came in of the airstrike near Al Khafji. With Qusay away from the radio to confer with an air defense general elsewhere in the complex, his brother realized the opportunity at hand and moved quickly to cement his tenuous position as heir. Without a word, Uday strode in on the surprised occupants of the meeting room and shot his brother in the head at close range with a pistol while his bodyguards gunned down their counterparts on Qusay’s payroll.
 
Then there's the not-so-nice folks like Izzat Ibrahim al-Duri, Ali Hassan al-Majid (AKA Chemical Ali) and other members of the RCC who will decide that Uday's tenure as President needs to come to an end. Unless, of course, CENTAF decides the matter (F-117 with a pair of GBU-27 concrete-penetrating laser bombs on Uday's current location).
