I don't think we were colluding with them in some way Moonie. That is a bit far fetched. By all accounts they were very bad men and I am sure there will be a lot of happy Iraqis today.

"We had a walk-in last night that came in and gave us the information," Sanchez said, adding that they expected to pay the $15 million reward offered for information leading to the death or capture of each of Saddam's sons.

So this guy should have an extra $30 million in US funds soon I suppose?

Ever think they might know stuff you wouldn't want coming out at a trial?

If you had 1/2 a brain............

You give Moonie way too much credit. 😉

.....and for cryin' out loud PhillyTim, how pathetic does your continual Bush hating rhetoric come across now? 😛

 

[CaptnKirk]

Best info I can discern is that they got both Uday & Qusay, Quasay's 14 year old son, an un-named body guard
plus one other as yet un-named Iraqi - all comfirmed killed.
There are apparently 4 or 5 additional wounded/captured that are as yet unidenyified.
There will be more information released, they are being cautious and I.D. positive on this.

I didn't notice any Bush hating rhetoric from Philly, are you drunk or something?

Confirmed.

LOL, I was simply foretelling future events. Please refer to some of PhillyTim's posts a few posts down. 😉

It's probably best all around that they weren't taken alive. Not for them of course, but who knows, they might have desired to go out in a blaze. Seems likely. In any case, this will quell any controversy that would most probably have arisen about what to do with them if they were captured alive. Very convenient for all concerned.

Controversy? Tried in an Iraqi court of law. What other option would there be?

Of course, our intelligence services might want to ask a few questions first.

Is it safe? IS IT SAFE??

The intelligence and inside info these two possessed could have been profoundly helpful to intelligence. I would have spared no effort to take them alive. It seems to me that should have been job one. They would know if and where there are WMD and whether there was collaborations with Bin Laden. They might know the details on the disappearance of thousands. And death was just to damn easy for scum like them. They should have had to look into the eyes of the families of those they murdered. They should have faced Islamic law.

well it's about time SOMETHING pans out!

Easier said that done. If you were in their position would you want to be taken alive?

Clearly another failure of the administration and the military, right Moonbeam?

Well, if one assumes that the religion of Islam is, um, well true, then it would be safe to say they they probably are facing it right now. 😉

Don't even bother..

Just keep bitching..

If true about time. However what about the bombing two days before the invasion and a few "Saddam Convoy" strikes in between? Sucks for those people who got anihilated on a "tip." Murder plain and simple on a "tip" modivated by bounty monies. Sounds like something saddam would do.

I agree about the intelligence factor except for the idea that any intelligence from these two would be forthcoming. I just don't see it as likely but there's not much point in speculating about it anymore. As for death being too damn easy, I couldn't agree more on that point. They should've face the families of those they murdered at least once in their miserable lives.

Still, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that a heated controversy would have arisen regarding their ultimate fate. I still have no clue about what's to happen with the cards from the deck we've captured so far. Any news about their fate by the way?

honestly there have been so many jump-the-gun reports in the press this year, with nothin' much panning out, it's hard to take this information with much more than a grain of salt

the bush regime and it's propoganda press tools have proven themselves to be nothin' much more than quick-draw liars

i wouldn't put it past the Regime that they just did this as a tactic to help quell the resistance and put iraqi's more at east to "talk".
i wouldn't put it past them at all.

I find it fascinating how the libs and conspiracy theorists can't just take this best bit of news since Baghdad fell and try and spin it. Fascinating.

Don't be silly. Any suggestion there is an alternate opinion to our Great Leader's is treasonous.

 

[phillyTIM]

well i find it fascinating you don't realize the sheer amounts of S##T and lies we've been put through the past year with loose cannon bush regime

You're easily fascinated. You must be a hoot to watch every time the toaster pops up.

Flavio, earlier you asked me:

Not drunk, evidently just clairvoyant!

Oooooo, here's some more:

It's tough being right all the time. Poetic.
