New info... Seems there was another raid in Mosule Tuesday...

The U.S. military also had mounted a mission to get Saddam on Tuesday in Mosul after killing Qusai and his brother, Odai, a military source familiar with the operation told the AP. The second raid by elements of the 101st Airborne Division came after intelligence sources reported Saddam as being at a different location in the city.

"We missed him by a matter of hours," the source said on condition of anonymity

IMO, we'll have him bagged this week or next. Wonder what will be Saddam's version of the lady in the red dress? A boy in a blue burka, perhaps?

Considering how anti-iconic Islam portrays itself they certainly have a lot of holy areas.

That $25 million reward is looking good to a lot of Iraqis. Hopefully he gets nabbed quickly. Result: Dow over 10,000 and gasoline back to a buck a gallon, I hope.

It was believed the brothers might be buried secretly to prevent their graves from becoming a shrine for supporters an unsanitary urinal.

Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, visited 4th Infantry commanders in Tikrit on Sunday and later told reporters in Baghdad that Saddam "was too busy trying to save his own skin" to lead the insurgency against American forces.

They'll find him for sure.

"The noose is tightening around these guys," said Col. James C. Hickey, a brigade commander. "They're running out of places to hide, and it's becoming difficult for them to move because we're everywhere. Any day now we're going to knock on their door, or kick in their door, and they know it."

And when they kick in the right door the headlines will read:

US Forces Baghdad of Uday & Usay.

Thanks for the ping guys.
