Speaking of Iraq. Check this out.

It's a compilation of photographs from various photographers that were imbedded. If you have speakers or headphones you can hear their commentary.

Hold the phone. At some point it time, it would have been advantageous for the U.S. to report what we know happened on March 19--SH and his sons were killed in that initial strike.

Now seems as opportune a time as any with the anti-Bush, anti-Blair, anti-was rhetoric at such a fevered pitch. A report like this will take the wind right out of the Bush, Blair haters.

This is only one of many aces George Bush has up his sleeve to play at an opportune time. There will be more to come in the future when the rhetoric again heats up.

You might want to fix the title before they start giving the cats credit for purring them to death.

[Hank Rearden]

You know, if you translate the piglatin, Qusay and Uday are really "Squoos 'n Dude".

Sounds like the name of a new fall Fox ghetto-cop series.

Are you sure they were cat purred? That seems pretty harsh even for the Husseins.

'SADDAM'S SONS SEIZED'

Saddam Hussein's two sons may have been captured after a shoot-out in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, reports say.

There was a "pretty decent chance" Uday and Qusay were there during the shoot-out, a US official said.

Local residents say the pair have been hiding in the town.

Four people are said to have been killed in the shoot-out, during a raid on a large villa.

Lieutenant Colonel William Bishop, of the 101st Airborne Division, said: "This morning we went to the building and surrounded it, and detained several of these high-interest personalities."

Witnesses say US soldiers were fired at as they approached the house and called in helicopter support.

The house was badly damaged. Its roof caved in after it was apparently hit by a missile.

US forces have so far captured 34 of the 55 Iraqis on a most-wanted list of members of Saddam's regime.

But the former Iraqi dictator and his sons remain at large. They are believed to be in Iraq.

Officials believe Saddam is probably still alive and hiding somewhere in Iraq.

Audio tapes said to have been made by the deposed leader have been given to Arab television networks, urging Iraqis to fight occupying US and British troops.

Whiskey for my men, beer for mah horses.

[MattAMiller]

I was in the shower thinking about the current situation and how great it would be if I stepped out the shower, turned on my radio, and heard the Saddam had been killed. So I stepped ot of the shower, turned on the radio, and...

Well it's close enough for me. Saddam was running short on people he could trust anyway, now he's probably very much cornered.

[Wondervixen]

I prefer to listen to the Fox News reporting of the story...Much less choking and gagging going on from their reporters.

Choke on THAT, Queef Hitlery and all the Jackasses at sea!

[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.

[Spok]

The old man should be dragged down Pennsylvania Avenue in chains, though I doubt he'd display the dignity and courage of Caractacus.

[hattend]

If True, do the army units who killed them get the $30 million for their platoon bars? That'll buy a lot of beer and booze with some left over for about 100 years of going away parties.

Peter Jennings is going to be livid when he finds out we have made positive progress in Iraq!
