MOSUL, Iraq

[BOBTHENAILER]

(There's a WAR on in California....at least 5 people are killed everyday on average....hey..MEDIA)

Not to mention the power outages, non-functioning state infrastructure and a massive debt.

Makes you wanna move to Baghdad for a little stability.

Rush Limbaugh just said " British intelligence confirming sons are dead"

Uh oh. Here we go again.

U.S. officials are reasonably confident that two of the four Iraqis killed in a raid in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul were Saddam Hussein's two sons, Odai and Qusai Hussein, ABCNEWS has learned.

Hours after a massive raid on a villa in Mosul, U.S. intelligence sources said they believed Saddam's two sons were inside the building. "We think we killed both of these guys," a senior intelligence official told ABCNEWS.

While there was no official confirmation that Odai and Qusai Hussein were among the dead, ABCNEWS has learned that a senior former Iraqi official in U.S. custody had identified the bodies.

A senior military official told ABCNEWS that Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti, Saddam's most trusted adviser and the ace of diamonds in the U.S. deck of cards depicting the most-wanted Iraqis, had identified the bodies.

"Who ever was killed is still dead! Where are you?

LOL..I'm in N.E. GA--line of storms coming out of the west. Still no cable...but the power is on. I hope I don't miss any news conference. Will stay tuned in at FR.

A great day! A twofer of the $oddomites!

That comment goes well with your tagline. LOL

Imagine their surprise when instead of 72 virgins, they get Helen Thomas and Hillary lookalikes.

Magnificent line

"We think we killed both of these guys," a senior intelligence official told ABCNEWS.

Well, hell, shoot them again just to make sure.

[hchutch]

Scares me half to death...

[steveegg]

No need to shoot them again; just sever their heads for plenty of DNA material :-)

Next up on KFR's Two-fer Tuesday, Kwazy "Train" Kim and Ayatollah "WarPig" Kahmehni :-)

Stay tuned to Free Republic. It is the best place to get news.

Stay safe in NE Georgia.

It would be nice to see some heads/dead bodies of the mass murdering mullahs of Iran start to pile up.

Thanks Howlin

Nice new tagline (jigsaw, ping to Grampa Dave's latest found in #331 among other places).

Now that's a great visual.

We need to be flexible and creative with our tag lines.

When something significant happens or breaks, we can change our tag lines to focus on that event. Of course Freeper humor is welcome.

Thanks---keeping an eye on the threads here. FreeRepublic has proven to be the best in breaking stories!

Iran is the heart of the Axis of evil. They have been killing innocents since the 1970's and financing terrorism since then.

Stack up about 1000 bodies of key murdering mullahs, and the acts of Islamofascist terrorism will drop to a few random acts of violence.

That reminds me; I need to expand a bit on mine.

Best to be safe; make it 10,000.

On an unrelated note, it's Skinnerville on FNC. She looks particularily happy today :-)
