This is sounding more and more like the real deal.

We need this now, big time. Yes we do. But the liberals/demonRats will still take it away from us. You know what I mean?

When it was reported that Saddam had been injured or killed a while back, it was just a report. And then they have recordings that they claim is his voice. So obviously it was just a rumor. This could be the same situation, I am going to sit back and relax until we get this little bit of information CONFIRMED.

Some 200 soldiers blasted the villa with machineguns and rockets

For 4 hours? There may not be much left of them to identify.

According to Major Trey Cate of the 101st Airborne Division, that part about four Americans killed is incorrect:

He said one U.S. soldier was shot in the chest but was in a stable condition.

Please let this be true....Please!

Right with you there my friend.

[sarasota]

Frightening...but true.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I am so looking forward to the day when it is confirmed that Satan and Saddam are dating as they are in South Park.

As Pablo Escobar would attest, if the President sends special forces teams to kill you, you can't be much more screwed than that.

[Ex-Dem]

I heard that four Iraqis were killed, not four of our guys.

Tommy Daschle: "I am deeply saddened."

Oh please, please, please....

So much for the "burned to the ground" reports about that building.

The info is way too shakey at this point to pop a beer just yet. (besides, noon is still 13 minutes away, and I have rules)

[William McKinley]

"Individuals of very high interest to the coalition forces were hiding out in the building," Lt. Col. William Bishop of the 101st Airborne Division (search) told Reuters.

A name! A named source! Granted, he doesn't say we've got 'em, but it is a step in the right direction!

An updated report from the AP states:

Both were below only Saddam in importance in the regime, officials have said.
