The two wire of Saddam would have been killed in the US operation with Mossoul

The two wire of Saddam Hussein would have been killed in an American raid Tuesday against a house with Mossoul (northern), indicated members of the family of the owner of this house and a person in charge local.

The owner for the house, Nawaf Mohamed Al-Zaidane, "would have informed the American forces that the wire of Saddam Hussein, Oudaï and Qousaï, as well as a bodyguard named Abdel Samad, had taken refuge in its house and that he wanted to get rid of them", declared with the AFP a relationship of Zaidane, under cover of anonymity.

"the wire of Saddam Hussein" ????
Gotta love Babblefish

[krb]

had taken refuge in its house and that he wanted to get rid of them

Mission accomplished.

[grobdriver]

Mission accomplished.

Yeah - them and the house too!

[AmericanInTokyo]

could it perhaps be a transliteration that the Saddam sons were given 'forced barbed wire enemas'? Just wondering....

[Right Wing Professor]

Yeah - them and the house too!

$30m will buy a nice new house.

[Sunshine Sister]

My thoughts exactly. The wire............what the heck does that mean?

[princess leah]

"$30m will buy a nice new house" NOT where they're going to be spending eternity - they would need lots of air conditioners and asbetos suits!

[livius]

had taken refuge in its house and that he wanted to get rid of them

So he called the exterminators. And they fumigated...

[grobdriver]

NOT where they're going

Context! Context!
He meant the house's owner will be getting 30M for leading US forces to them. Reward!
So he can replace the house.

[AgThorn]

The two wire of Saddam?

can someone translate ....

[Right Wing Professor]

Fils is French for son or sons. Fil is French for wire. So fils can be son, sons, or wires. Babblefish chose the stupidest alternative.

Money well spent.

Those are the piano wires that were used as 101st Airborne neckties for the Hussein boys after the fight was over

Hey Fellas! [rumbling in background] I'm just gonna step outside for a smoke, okay?

Why do I need my car keys? Oh, no reason...

[Coop]

*&%#!*! French!

[OldFriend]

$15million american dollars is a powerful incentive.......

[kellynla]

FOX NEWS just reported that a senior offical says that there is a 90-95 percent chance that Saddams sons are D E A D ! EXCELLENT!

[lady lawyer]

I won't believe it until we get the DNA tests back.

The two wire of Saddam

Well, a perfect carrier landing grabs the "three wire." The sons are a bit short of the ultimate target, so I guess "two wire capture" is probably appropriate....
