[Wright is right!]

Looks like this article is a little behind the curve. The sons ARE daid and they WERE able to confirm multiple sources making positive visual ID.

Odai, is that you?

The house was burned to the ground after a loud, four-hour gunbattle

Would that be the house we have been seeing on TV all day?

Is everyone in the news biz on crack?

The house was burned to the ground

Excellent reporting, except that it wasn’t.

"we had to use bigger caliber weapons to render the building safe" - including missiles, helicopters and grenade launchers.

Think you used enough dynamite there Butch?

[ASA Vet]

US officials said there will be DNA testing to confirm the deaths

Must be a new forensic technique.
Normally confirmation of death doesn't involve DNA testing.
You'd think lack of breathing and heartbeat would be enough.

Dan Rather: "Today, two well-known leaders of the Iraqi people died of lead poisoning. It is believed the environmentally-poisonous substance was manufactured by a large American corporation with ties to the Bush administration. Also, a teenage son of one of the Iraqis was killed, a victim of mindless gun violence perpetrated by U.S. forces..."

This article is a lie! The head of CENTCOM said the bodies were very recognizable! That means they could be identified and were by people that knew the two brothers.

The snakes crawling out of their bellies confirm they're Saddam's sons.

[The Great RJ]

They must be totally evil -- they were driving a SUV. Think of the environment and the poor spotted owls. </sarcasm

[afraidfortherepublic]

Witnesses in the neighbourhood said there are tunnels below the house... Mosul was believed to be the exit route for some of Saddam's family members trying to get out of Iraq and flee to Syria.

Hmmmmmm. I hope they sealed up the other end first!

[grobdriver]

We used a scaled escalation of force

I love this part!
Translate to: "We shot them to hell"

[Tacis]

Sure, the corpses could be look alikes, diversions to make us think they were dead so they could take up a freer life elsewhere.

But, how about if the reports of their death is OUR diversion. How about f both are still alive and now the guests of the US at our lovely resort on Diego Garcia. It may be the same spot where Osama Bin Laden is vacationing.

Wouldn't it be a great circumstance if the world thought them dead while we had an opportunity to discuss weapons of mass destruction, secret account numbers, and contacts in the democrat party with them without concern for reporters, Commies Supporting Prisoners, or the UN/French?

[Caipirabob]

Good thing our soldiers were there before a buyer of McDonald's or Burger King could show up...

Uday is DU in pig latin, pass it on....

Uday...Qusay...Good day!

Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

Set the corpses up on the pillar in Paradise Square in Baghdad, and shine a light on them during hours of darkness, so all of Iraq may know that these jackals were hunted down and eliminated. There cannot be a downside for such an action.

Unless within just a few hours, the corpses were so shot up with random potshots from the Iraqi people there would be nothing left to display.
