Now being reported on MSNBC

You'll notice that this little find by our 3rd Infantry Division hasn't seen the light of day with the alphabet networks:

The Dems haven't figured out their Achilles heel on this yet, but they will. We've captured a lot of very bad people, and hopefully added Uday and Qusay to the list today. At some point, there are going to be trials for all these guys, and they're going to be public. The horrors of the Hussein regime will be broadcast repeatedly for audience worldwide, hopefully during the election cycle next year.

That is going to be a very bad time to be on record as opposed to the war. Heh-heh.

One report said they sent 200 troops blazing into the villa with machine guns and rockets.

I feel a summer block-buster movie coming on:
"Platoon 2003: The Good Guys Win"

Chuck Norris as the grizzled colonel leading the 101st Screaming Eagles into the gap!
(OK, maybe some less grizzled actor)

Dan Blather looks like he is going to cry

Don't have him here in Philly .. only ABC News is on about it

[Trust but Verify]

I'm afraid to let myself get carried away by this news this is deja vu all over again.

[johnb838]

OTOH, the view don't got a clue.

[Pharmboy]

Well, at least they have PUH-LENTY of those boys' DNA to test...and let this be a lesson to all the tin-horn dictators around the world (and their demented offspring).

U.S. Official: Saddam Sons Possibly Found in Iraq

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein's two sons may have been found in Iraq during a shoot-out in Mosul in which U.S. soldiers killed four high-ranking Iraqis, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

"There is a pretty decent chance" that Saddam's sons Uday and Qusay were there during the shoot-out, one official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Reuters...

[jriemer]

Definitely a bunch of "SouthPark" Republicans on FR today. Now if we can just send Saddam to hell.

Who loves ya, Saddamie...

[Mo1]

Star Jones was very quiet if that means anything

[BOBTHENAILER]

Upon hearing this news, Sen. Daschle had the following to say:

"I am deeply saddened, shocked and am mortified that this tragedy has occured.

[zook]

Unnamed intelligence officials are quoted as saying that by killing his sons, we have made Sadam Hussein even more dangerous to our troops.

: )

[VOA]

They interrupted the VIEW......get out!

I didn't think The View would get interrupted for the return of one J. Christ!

[socal_parrot]

Chandra...Elizabeth Smart...Westerfield...Scott Peterson...Kobe...and so on...and so on...

[Miss Marple]

WHAT "government official?"

I remain unconvinced and think this is another scam by the news media. I notice the military will not confirm the identity of anyone in the house.

Why would a Bush administration person withhold his identity?

The press are liars and I am not buying this until I hear from someone on the record.

[MinuteGal]

If four "high-levels" were killed or captured, who could the other two be?

Unlikely Saddam, as criminals on the lam generally split up. But, then again....maybe it was the Ma Barker family in one last stand together. Could it be we got a threeper in one swell foop?

Consider this comment a one-freeper prayer thread.

If true, its great news. Time to celebrate.

Next up: Papa Hussein.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Some 200 soldiers blasted the villa with machine guns and rockets during a four-hour battle before storming the building and bringing out four bodies, U.S. officers said.

"Hello, Avon calling."
