We've apparently acquired the DNA sample we needed to search for Saddam.

Was he a full-brother before the JDAMS and a half-brother afterwards?

Someone on another thread said that we can find all the Saddam DNA we need on Peter Jennings's lips. Now that is WAY too crude for ME to repeat, but....

I'm assuming there are DNA people in there with swabs, looking for the wet spots.....

I burst out laughing when I heard six JDAMs. Maybe just a teeny bit of an overkill!

D'ya think Saddam might grow to hate us for this?

Well, Satan's not at all too happy, I'm sure.

If they had the same mother then the mitochondrial DNA will allow for a match. Not so if they shared the same father, IIRC.

"J'Dam is Sa'Damm's Half-brother - weren't you paying attention?"

I thought J'Dam was JLo's better looking sister?

An earlier thread asked if Saddam himself had "9 lives". notice here that they used what amounted to 6 separate bombs to kill his half-brother.

Saddam has a tremendous track record in avoiding assassinations, being bombed to death, appearing again, only to be bombed to death once more.

What if it's not possible to take this guy out with ordinary munitions? Should we bring out the 747 with the laser weapon? Could MOAB do the job? Or are we dealing with someone who really isn't a human being?

Speaking of JDAMs I saw an intersting quote yesterday.

"GPS puts the 'dam' in JDAM"

USAF Space Command Gen. Lance Lord

Thank-you National Security Space!

Interesting idea, but let's not go there. :-)

How many relatives does this son of a bitch have?

If Carl Sagan were still alive, he would be saying "Billions and billions and billions. Of course, during Gulf War I, he predicted that if the Kuwaiti oil wells were set on fire, we would experience "nuclear winter" and the worst ecological disaster known to man.

Oh, well, you can't be right all of the time.
