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!

Oh, she "enabled him." I see. And you know this because life in Iraq is exactly like life in the Cincinatti suburbs.
The truth is, you don't know jack about this man's wife and family. For all of your bluster about "enabling" him (LOL, btw, as if the oh-so-liberal concept of "enabling" can be applied to gassing villagers just as it is to pounding beers), you have no clue about her.
And as to your cheap, lazy suggestion that I "condone mass murder," spare me. You don't know jack about me either.

There may have been some "leak", but Bush could care less about that kind of nonsense.
Somebody is setting up a bogus expectation, that can soon be demonstrated as a disappointment and deceit and another quagmire wrapped in a fierce resistance.
Somebody in the Pentagon needs to be strapped to a Tomahawk and sent as a non explosive warhead to land within 3" of Brian Williams' lap.
To: ArneFufkin
I didn't mean to suggest that Bush is ordering these leaks. But you are correct, it could be a setup, but its up to centcom and the Pentagon to dispel things like this ASAP.

You don't know jack about me either.I do know that people who compare ones "Christianness" (Is that a word?)to others are usually pompous, overbearing, windbags. You would have been 100% right in chastising me for an insensitive remark about wishing death on his wife and kids. But you are no better than me, by saying you are better than me.

I'm with you. Those headlines of Mar.31st telling of Chemical Ali's death -- and the death of two others "Ramadan' and 'Ibrahim' ---evidently weren't seen by NBC.
Were the other two reports incorrect? I have the 'Iraqi Leadership Scoreboard" and I had already checked them all off. Does Chem.Ali get two checks?

Sorry, friend. I never even said I
was a Christian.
But I've read enough of the Bible to know that the followers of Christ ("Love thy enemy") would never wish for the death of someone's wife and children.

Personally, I'm tired of these kinds of reports. Tell us when you find DNA evidence.

He must have 2 villas. There was an article yesterday about his villa being looted by local civilians after being checked out by our forces who removed some paperwork. Civilians removed everything. Even fixtures. Talked about the huge empty swimming pool.

I'll save you and CENTCOMM some time.
BBC POOL MORON: Do you have any information regarding an attack on Chemical Ali? Have you confirmed he's dead? What does this mean in context of your widely criticized Operational Plan, the mounting civilian death toll and the understandibly demoralizing revelation yesterday that Saddam Hussein is capable of simultaneously making a speech in a white room and walking around the streets of Baghdad with a jaunty hop and a song in his heart?
CENTCOMM: We have nothing to report on that.
To: SHKMAN1212
I hope he suffered greatly before his soul plunged into the black abyss.

Heard it was at least 3- 500 lb laser guidded, first one missed its mark, so they sent in a few more for good measure. On another note, it was said by a Navy Admiral on MSNBC that NO ONE could have survived that first night bombing on Saddam.

Uday is Chemical Ali's son-in-law. Sure is an incestous family. Saddam marries his first cousin. His son married his cousin's daughter!
To: JustPiper
both things can't be true: no one could survive the bunker attack, Ali was in the bunker, yet we just killed him again today for the third time.
