NBC NEWS: CHEMICAL ALI KILLED IN IRAQ RAID

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!

[Gamecock]

ALI, DEAD! SADDAM...

[Cold Heat]

I dunno???????

I will believe it when I see it.(Just how many homes does this guy have?)

[BRL]

Have you ever watched the BAtman episodes where the criminals keep seeting up the heroes to die and then give them an out. I would always think that the criminals should just go BOOM and get it over.

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

Next thug?

"Oh yeah they're cousins .. identical cousins don't you see ..."

[Semper Paratus]

Chemcal Ali. Dr. Germ.
What a regime, will not be missed.

[bvw]

Good night, Ali, Good night!

[oceanview]

exactly right. He was supposed to be in the bunker with Saddam the first night. We supposedly killed him then. Then we killed him some other time. Now we killed him again. I'm sure he was just in his own above ground home hanging out last night, not much was going on you know. Be cautious with the disinformation coming from our side, especially these type of "single incident" reports.

That's a terrible thing to say! You should be ashamed of yourself.

Its hard not to feel that way about the murderer of over 100,000. I probably wouldnt have posted it, but i sure as hell feel that way. Call it a benevolent ethnic cleansing. The DNA or spawn of an evil player like Chemical Ali wont be replicated.

[Skooz]

Yeah, baby!

Sorry, but that's the most profound thing I think to say at the moment.

God bless our troops.

[FreedomCalls]

What, now we're targeting Iraqi women? < /sarcasm >

[demnomo]

Yeah, talk about a stereotypical dictator flunky, that Minister of Information looks and acts like he came straight out of central casting. Creepy, shifty and depraved are just a few words that come to mind...

[oceanview]

what might likely be happening now, is that we will start announcing these people are "dead", so when we won't have to explain why we failed to capture them at the end of war.

[cardinal4]

Maybe the kids should be left out of it, but think of Saddams kids; those two deserve a fate reserved for Mengeles, Dahmers, Amins, and OBLs....

[konaice]

"I hope they got his wife and kids too. "

BlesseBeGod replies:
"That's a terrible thing to say! You should be ashamed of yourself."

Really? You have a very warped sense of morals Blessed.
Any woman who would live with such a butcher and NOT put a knife to his throat in the middle of the night is JUST AS GUILTY as he is. The old "i was an innocent bystander wife" just does not play in the real world. Its time for you to grow up.

And the kid is not likely innocent either if he is any kin to Saddams sons.

[Amore]

Heck, I'll go out on a limb here and say I feel the same way.

[demnomo]

..The Mullahs then put the deal to Coalition intelligence officers—the Iraqis would surrender if they were allowed to form the core of the country's armed forces after liberation...

No deals with Ba'athist scum!!! They will just go back to their terrorizing ways towards the innocent Iraqi people that they tortured, oppressed, imprisoned and murdered in the name of Saddamn all of these years. UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER. Ba'athist thugs can not be allowed to dictate the terms or be put in positions of power!!!

[F.J. Mitchell]

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.

[floriduh voter]

Isn't he a cousin or brother of saddam? Oops, I mean, wasn't he?

[MagnusMat]

I hope you are wrong. You are no different than Sadam with statements like that.

[Wolfstar]

He looks more like Saddam Hussein than TV Saddam does, these days!
