NBC NEWS: CHEMICAL ALI KILLED IN IRAQ RAID

NBC NEWS | 4-5-2003 | NBC

[SHKMAN1212]

NBC News is reporting that F-16s dropped two precision-guided bombs on the residence of "Chemical" Ali just south of Basra. The Pentagon is telling them that they believe Ali was in his home at the time and was killed during the strike. They caution that they need to have confirmation on the ground to be sure, but it sounds like a good hit!

[putupon]

Great News!!! I am a little disappointed though, can't we find someone to drop one of those new-fangled MOABs on? I am realy anxious to see one of those suckers go off over some bad guys' heads, before they all gone.

One of the funniest speculations offered here was a scenario where Dan Rather's historic interveiw was conducted with one of Saddam's Doubles.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Good! I hope one of the bombs landed right on his face.

Score one for the Air Force! Go Air Force!

(hey...my nephew's in the academy, you'll have to forgive me)

[ArneFufkin]

Let's save the MOABs for that time right after we kill Dear Leader and destroy his nukes, and the first wave of North Korean regulars stream across the border.

[to the core]

It may sound harsh, but the truth is, our children or grandchildren might be very thankful in the future if Chemical Ali's children were taken out. Ever wondered why God ordered children killed in Old Testament times when His people invaded a country? Take a look at the pictures from the Middle East with the children wearing dynamite vests. Sadly, they learn at a very early age to hate and kill.

How do you post pictures?

Sadly, they learn at a very early age to hate and kill.

I have taken a lot of heat on this thread over his kids. But you are right, if they have learned at an early age to be like their hateful parents, how do you turn that around? Look at the madrassas that teach the kids to hate America, some of them have come over here experienced our freedoms, been educated in our schools, and still hijacked airliners and crashed them into our buildings. I should have kept my comments to myself, but the education those kids are receiving all over the middle east, will come to haunt us one day.

[to the core]

I think all of us have benefited from your comments as we work through this complex moral issue. Nobody wants to see children die, but. . . .

[meyer]

Well, It is nice to know that we are not giving these criminals a way to escape. We are just going BOOM!

Actually, we gave them lots of chances to escape before the war started. They simply chose not to do so.

A Eulogy for 'Chemical Ali':

Brothers and Sisters, I appear here to speak a few words about Chemical Ali. What can we say about the man? Though he wasn't a poet, gentleman, or scholar, he always enjoyed what he did: Slaughtering innocent people. That's why we had to kill him.

Chemical, if you were here, we'd have to say that America hardly knew you. What we did know about you was that you had a scary-sounding name with the word 'Chemical' at the beginning of it. It is with profound regret that we admit that we knew precious little about you until we bombed you 'Convention-Ali', and never had time to appreciate your destruction to it's fullest.

Now, we send you off into God's mercy for His judgement. See you on the other side.

"AND DOWN GOES ALI, DOWN GOES ALI, DOWN GOES ALI!"

Howard, I hear you loud and clear!

"We killed him, again?" Initial Report of USMC Kill of General "Chemical Ali", Saddam's Cousin Near an-Nasireyeh ^
Report: 'Chemical Ali' believed killed by U.S. ^

These guys are tough, Tanker! :^D
We may have to kill Saddam a dozen times! (Meaning all his doubles will have to be killed.)

And after each one is killed, (and this includes "Chemical Ali") feed 'em to the hogs, then kill the hogs, and feed the hogs to the hogs...Hey, we don't want to take any chances with these guys! Let's make good and darn sure they are DEAD. FReegards

[meyer]

Maybe it's a stupidity check. We keep saying they are dead, til they get so frustrated that they jump up and scream,"No I ain't dead, dammit!, I'm alive, see!" Their last words.

Hey, it worked once...

[InvisibleChurch]

we need to be careful or these guys will get angry and seek vengence

[Geezerette]

ali bubba?

... and the 72 thieves.

"Hey, it worked once....."

And these idiots seem to have flunked out of history 101-I'll bet it works again.

[ErnBatavia]

I'll be really happy when it is confirmed that we have hit Tariq Aziz

And a bunker-buster couldn't destroy those coke bottle glasses he wears. It would indeed be nice to have the remnants displayed at the Camp Pendleton military museum.

Let's save the MOABs for that time right after we kill Dear Leader and destroy his nukes, and the first wave of North Korean regulars stream across the border.

Instead of "where the he// did all those Chinese come from", it would be "where the he// did all those North Koreans go".
