Which one, was Uday killed?

I heard it was either Moe or Curly.......unconfirmed though.

[philetus]

If he turns up alive, we need to let the Iraqi people hang him.

[EternalVigilance]

Let the mothers of some of the children he tortured to death have him.

[alethia]

"...injured Russian Diplomats..."

Perhaps...injured Russian Military Advisors?...

[mabelkitty]

Has to be. Head of his security was found in a shallow grave last week.

[TheLion]

Most Arabs don't hate us....just their medias, dictators, etc.

[the Deejay]

Sheesh!! What does it take to kill that blighter? How many lives does he have?

[Homer_J_Simpson]

I heard it was either Moe or Curly

Wally's the chubby one. The Beav is usually pictured wearing the head scarf.

Okay, did msnbc say "republican guard" or "republican party"???????

I leave downstairs (where FNC provides fair and balanced coverage) and go upstairs for a few moments, turn on my only TV, where I have no cable, and there on NBC, scrolling across the bottom of the screen is "IRAQI REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYS.....BLAH BLAH BLAH......(and then repeated)....IRAQI REPUBLICAN PARTY SAYS.....BLAH"

I thought SH was the Ba'ath Party, with a Republican Guard armed force. NOT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, BUT any little digs they can get in.....NBC attempts to smear the US GOP....

Did anyone else see this? THIS IS MADDENING!!!!!

[the Deejay]

"I'm waiting for Baghdad Bob to say that Saddam and his sons have died."

When he says, "they are alive and well', then we'll know they're dead!

[ASA Vet]

GWB has been saving Tikrit for last because it's Sodom's hometown,
home of the Ba'ath Party, and base of the last existing Republican Guard division in Iraq

President Bush isn't micromanaging this war.
He ordered the military to take those decisions required to achieve the goal.

Our military will do Tikrit after Baghdad because Turkey caused us to modify our plan.
Takrit would have been taken, (or surrounded and bypassed,) from the North,
if the original plan had been possible.

[Redbob]

If the Iraqi's are claiming this, then almost by definition it cannot be true.

SadMan must have escaped to Syria.

MSNBC: Republican Guard says Uday "seriously injured," Qusay is Dead

How 'bout Busay?

Dan

[MattAMiller]

That would be the ultimate outcome wouldn't it? We've wounded him and now all he can do is lie in a bed somewhere watching his regime collapse knowing all the while that he will eventually either be hanged by his own people or imprisoned by us. That would be great.

[Conservative til I die]

I sense a little bias in that article.

[NewsFlash]

[randita]

Perhaps...injured Russian Military Advisors?...

Yes, that is correct.

[finnman69]

whoa

[El Gato]

Send in another B-1! Target: Tikrit

I'd prefer a squadron of them myself. At least a 4-ship, and each should be dropping way more than 4 bombs.

I'm sorry, I missed it if MSNBC mixed up the "Republican Party" with the "Republican Guard". Wouldn't be surprised, after all John Kerry has basically been equating the two.
But not to worry, everyone was watching FOXNews anyway.

Let's relish the pure joy the FOX Folks have been expressing all day. Don't hide their feelings, don't care if they are cheerleaders for America, FOX coverage of this day has been awesome...and I do not overuse the "awesome" word.

Let's enjoy Dick Cheney's fabulous quote from his speech today:
, "With every day, with every advance of our coalition forces, the wisdom of that plan becomes more apparent," Cheney said. He dismissed critics as "retired military officers embedded in TV studios."

Vice Presidential bitch slap. Take that Barry McCaffrey! Suck it up Wesley Clark. Shut up Hackworth! These flaming (_o_)s will be all over the tube in a day or two, covering their tracks with weasel words.
