From the weblog:

It reads: right to left, as follows:
The Sir, The President, The Combat-Leading, The Jihad-Espousing,Saddam Hussein, May Allah Preserve and Nourish Him.
Inside the seal behind the cigar, it says:Our God and Theirs, Preserve Saddam and Iraq.
The two symbols that are sort of round on either side of the script at the bottom I can't read; they are the arabic calligraphic equivalent of the writer's word art, like taggers' graffiti.

U.S. troops searching for leaders from the former Iraqi government killed four people in a firefight in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul today and among them may have been the sons of the Saddam Hussein, U.S. officials said.

Details of the attack were very sketchy in Washington and there was no immediate confirmation of the deaths. But one intelligence official said, "Among the dead may be Uday and Qusay" Hussein. Another official said that two of the bodies bore strong physical resemblance to the men. Both men were close to their father and had been listed as aces in the deck of cards depicting former Iraqi officials being sought by U.S. troops. Qusay had headed the elite Republican Guard for his father.

The dead did not include the ousted Iraqi leader, U.S. officials said.

Before the attack, U.S. troops had been told that there were high-ranking officials from the deposed government and the resistance was reportedly fierce when they arrived.

Charlie Company, 101AB, was in the firefight. No casualties.

Fox has new video......man that building is shot up BIG TIME!

Like I said...this is ready-made for a summer block-buster.

Of course, Hollyweird will probably have Oliver Stone do a tin-hat conspiracy
about how Uday, Quasy and a lot of innocent virgins were killed.

If Mel Gibson does it, we'll get something like the shooting of the small house
in "The Gauntlet", only it will be the bad guys who take it in the shorts.

What a revolting image this conjures up ....nope, better not go there.

Just think of the sliver potential as she rocks back and forth, trying to decide which side of the fence to end up on.

Hon, I gave them their first play guns.

You too? :-}

The toy tanks, guns and soldiers my wife gave to the grandkids, grandsons and granddaughters, for Christmas would be the liberal hair curlers right out of business.

Four Iraqis were killed in the raid on the house -- which later burned down.

No doubt Reno is watching shaking her head.."Amateurs."

[to the core]

Like many freepers I am tired of worn out stories like Kobe, Lacy, etc. Some things are just run into the ground. But if this is true it is hugh. It is very series.

"They found tunnels under the house."

Where's the "Awww, geez!" guy?

[woodyinscc]

CNN repeatedly pointed out that this shows that Iraqi's are helping hide Saddam (They love him and want him back you know). They can't even find good news in this story!

They should be looking at the markets! Dow up 80 points in half hour. The investors know what good news this is!!!

[boxerblues]

US Soldiers have big smiles on their faces!

they know they bagged someone big!

[Dog]

We threw everything at this building...

[eyespysomething]

Hon, I gave them their first play guns. Now that they live in Texas, it is okay. Elsewhere it is strongly disapproved of.

Not here (GA)! I'll bet we've got the best toy gun collection this side of the Mississippi!! LOL

Oh, and the good guys wear red and black cowboy hats (Go Georgia Bulldogs!), and they always win.

[FreeAtlanta]

Oh, no! Really? Ann Coulter proven right once again. lol

They found tunnels under the house

Must be they had "tunnel guides" awaiting them when they tried to escape. :)
