U.S. Military CONFIRM Saddam's Sons Killed in Mosul Raid

I believe you people are mistaken about the identity of PDiddies' avatar. If you look closely, I believe that is Richard Dreyfuss.

steissd I think we can put to bed the motives behind turning in Saddams sons, and I think friend of the money rather than friend of the US is the more accurate statement. I hate being right so much. Rolling Eyes

Many Iraqi people were concerned that the old regime would return. With the deaths of the two sons, one the heir apparent to Saddam, the people can relax a little.

I would have preferred that they were captured alive, but it was their choice. They were told to surrender, and proceeded to open fire. Our troops had to fire back.

And of course we know these were Saddams sons because someone who was paid 30 million dollars, the US military who has NEVER told a lie and who is under commander in chief GWB and the news media lately owned by GWB Inc. says so.

Like I say, this guy is the luckiest boy in the world.

Phew! Thanks, Rog, glad you understand now ... you rat (oh, no, here we go again Laughing

:wink: )!

gustavratzenhofer: hmmm, why, now I see what you mean; here, I was touting myself on never making snap judgements and yet I immediately thought of Dick Cheney; actually it looks like any of those t.v. psychics as well :wink: ;

but, then again,

Bi-Polar Bear: I have found it better to never argue with a bear!

and, last but certainly not least, another woman:

Phoenix32890: absolutely, the 2 apples (who have not fallen far from their proverbial tree) chose to fight back, the U.S. had no choice and this can only be good (sad, true; but still good) as I agree the Iraqi people can only relax with these 2 out of the picture!

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

The above link gives some details. I believe that it was the 2 sons. The process by which they were killed, well, that's another matter.

They were hoping that the death of his 2 sons would stop or reduce the killing of coalition soldiers, but there were at least 2 attacks after their deaths.

I just got the Bangor paper and saw the story. I say, lets not forget that , with the rapid disassembly of the Saddam regime, the sooner our soldiers can get the hell out of there. We can settle with Georgie at the polls, or at abill of particulars, whichever comes first.

BAGHDAD, July 23 (UPI) -- Two U.S. soldiers in Iraq were killed and nine wounded Wednesday in separate attacks on convoys, CNN reported.

The first incident took place near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul where, on Tuesday, American forces swarmed a large home and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein.

An improvised explosive device struck two U.S. military vehicles, killing a member of the 101st Airborne Division and wounding seven others, according to U.S. Central Command.

Less than two hours later, a convoy from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment was struck near Ramadi, west of Baghdad, killing one U.S. soldier and wounding a soldier and a contractor, Central Command said.

Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of ground forces in Iraq, said Tuesday the killings of Uday and Qusay Hussein would deal a blow to guerrillas who have been attacking U.S. forces in the country.

I'm glad that most of the Iranian population has some fears fears less than before.
But these two brother are neithe Daddeam nor Bin Laden. And obviously, there are pockets of resistance spread all over the whole country.
The killing of two leaders wont stop the attacks in such a number, as the US-administration hopes (or hopes, we should believe) I fear.

Walter, I agree with your assessment. This administration has a keen ability to open their mouth before they've considered any future consequences. They're just plain stupid, because they never seem to learn from past mistakes. c.i.

Their true stupidity lies in their confidence that they can go about their business as if the people they were elected, well sorta, to represent will never catch on to the fact that they're being treated as if they were stupid and just stand for it forever.

Lots of stupidity flying around here. Rolling Eyes

Well, there is really nothing to gloat about, but the very fact that their location became known to the U.S. commanders, shows that there are friends of the USA among the Iraqi population: I am almost sure that the Arab collaborators helped to locate Husseins-juniors.

Of course there are friends of the USA in Iraq. But i think in this particular case it would be more correct to call them friends of the US dollars. 30 million to point out where the two brothers were hidden. Easy money.

And why were they killed? Wouldn't it be better to catch them alive and let them stand trial?

And now the Pentagon wants to release pictures of the dead brothers to help convince Iraqis that they were really dead. But i remember the fuzz a few months ago about the pictures of dead americans? Double standards?
