This is Uday Hussein's world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia is summoned to Saddam's palace, he is faced with an impossible request - to be Uday's 'fiday' - his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption, knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence.

Quotes:

[first lines]::Azzam: [to Latif] Hey.

Uday Hussein: Didn't you once paint a picture of my father? You still have it?::Latif Yahia: I gave it to you.::Uday Hussein: I have an awful feeling I told him I did it myself.

Munem: Latif is the best we could find. And we looked.::Uday Hussein: Well I have to have him.

Latif Yahia: [to Uday] You are asking me to extinguish myself.

Munem: Please be clear about this, Latif. Uday has chosen you. You belong to him. You have about five minutes to think about this. Before a car pulls up outside your house in Al-Adhamiya and your family, everyone one of them - your father, your mother, your sisters and brothers; is thrown into Abu Ghraib. God willing, they will die quickly. I've said too much. You have about two minutes left.

Yassem Al-Helou: [about Uday] Poor child never knows what to wear. He changes his mind every five minutes. Depends on what car he's driving. Honestly, habibi, that boy - he wears me out.

Latif Yahia: I wrote to my mother once a week. She's going to think that I got killed in Iran.::Munem: Inshallah.::Latif Yahia: Inshallah? My family are going to think that I'm dead.::Munem: Let them think you died a martyr. I know it's difficult, but it's what Uday wants. He will accept nothing less.::Latif Yahia: She will be knocking on the door of every hospital in Baghdad.::Munem: When you say your prayers tonight, when you turn out the light and close your eyes, this is what you should be saying to yourself: "Latif Yahia is dead. He died in Iran. May God have mercy on him. Now I am Uday Saddam Hussein."

Uday Hussein: I had a word with Dr. Linz. He says your cock's too big. We need to make a surgical reduction.::Latif Yahia: A what?::Uday Hussein: Chop a bit off.::Latif Yahia: What?::Uday Hussein: Not much. Just a teeny-weeny.::Latif Yahia: Not much?::Uday Hussein: My cock is well-known in Baghdad. The women, they talk.::[pause]::Uday Hussein: I'm just joking with you, you fuck!

Sarrab: Who's this?::Uday Hussein: Latif? He's my brother. Nobody must know, but Saddam; he has three sons. You tell anybody this, I will have to cut your tongue out with a razor and feed it to the cat.

Sarrab: Poor Uday. Sometimes I think he wants to fuck himself to death.

Plot: Poking nasty fun at the Bush Administration, action movies and itself, WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION is a heart-warming story of John Lincoln, a blaxploitation actor who finds himself out of work due to his participation in his son's grade-school anti-war protest in the winter of 2003. As his fortunes plummet and the President increases pressure to invade Iraq, Lincoln naively decides to draw on his past experience in the Special Ops Forces, and travel to Iraq to rid the world of Saddam Hussein himself - and thus avert a disastrous war. Through a series of misadventures, he manages to dispose of Saddam, but that's when things get weird. Lincoln returns to the United States and is personally invited to Camp David by President George W. Bush, himself. But during a weenie roast at a Camp David campsite, George W. reveals a terrible international secret to Lincoln, something that causes him to fight for his life!
