Didn't believe the earlier report that they might have bought it. Now it's confirmed.

<b>General: Saddam's Two Sons Killed in Raid</b>

By SARMAD JALAL, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s sons Odai and Qusai were killed in a six-hour firefight Tuesday when U.S. forces surrounded and then stormed a palatial villa in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul, a senior American general said.

"We are certain that Odai and Qusai were killed today," said Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez at a news conference in Baghdad.

"They died in a fierce gunbattle," Sanchez added.

He told reporters that soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were working on a tip from an Iraqi informant that the sons were present in the house.

When troops approached the building, gunmen inside opened fire with small arms. The "suspects barricaded themselves in the house" and "resisted fiercely," he said.

Sanchez promised a detailed briefing on the operation Wednesday.

"The bodies were in such a condition where you could identify them," he said. The identities of the other two dead were not known, he said.

Sanchez was asked about heavy gunfire that erupted across Baghdad about 10 p.m., believed to have been in celebration of reports that Saddam's sons had been killed in Mosul.

The general said the gunfire may have been in celebration over the son's death or hostile fire aimed at U.S. occupation forces. "It's very appropriate that they would celebrating about now," he said.

In Washington, L. Paul Bremer, Iraq (news - web sites)'s top civilian administrator, said he did not want to comment on how the deaths of Saddam's sons would affect security in Iraq.

However, Bremer said: "It certainly is good news for the Iraqi people."

Too bad they weren't taken alive, though. Could've been "persuaded" to reveal daddy's whereabouts.

nothin like a pair of aces to brighten up your day, now all we need is that coveted bullet to make 3 of a kind

[Phaenx]

Now all we need to do is put their heads on spikes, hurray.

[rth621]

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

[clavus]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple.

Enjoy sucking flaming-demon-cocks in Hell, you sorry bastards!!

[greydenn]

Glad to see some good news lately regarding Iraq

[bartgroks]

U.S. forces surrounded and then stormed a palatial villa in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul....

They were living in a palatial villa and we just now found them!?
No wonder the troops have not found any WOMD.

Im glad they got these guys but it shows that were not in control of Iraq at this point.

[papermachesatan]

Hopefully Saddam's next....

[vinnyferrozzo]

about damn time we actuall got someone we were looking for. Now let's get Sadam and Osama

[TaLoN]

i saw the place where they were staying/where the fire-fight took place. this huge building was full of holes and the ground was covered in empty shells. our military knows how to fucking get things done

[Phaenx]

They fired aboot 9 tow missles into it, so yeah, we know how to blow the fuck out of things.

[KillerYoda]

But the real question is...did they have any WMDs in their posession?

[Phaenx]

They might have been good people to ask if they weren't in a dozen pieces right now.

[MichaelFarker]

I'm glad our soldiers were able to do this. They should be proud. The U.S. military can beat anyone else's military and maybe even everyone else's at once. Still, it has not done a good job at rebuilding countries. That is the key in this situation.

[roggers]

yea i saw that on the news, good ridence!

[Cicero]

Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy with the news, but it seems oddly suspicious that the History Channel aired a profile of Saddam's sons last night (probably a rerun). I wonder how far in advance that program was scheduled.

[annie1]

someone is a very rich person now though... reward for each of the sons... 15 million. they say they will be probably payi8ng off this reward to a single person that came forward with the info last night. double jackpot for them!

[gov135]

Hopefully this means that less Iraqi youth will be tempted to take potshots at allied armed convoys with handguns and slingshots.

Interesting sidenote

Uday's name is pronounced "YOU die." But once his name started being spoken in the US media, they changed it to "OO day." I guess it wasn't politically correct to talk about killing a guy named "you die."

Reminds me of when they changed the name of Uranus from "Yer anus" to "Urin us."

Actually ... lol ... if you were to pronounce the name in arabic, from the traditional sanscreet ... it would NOT be "you die" ... indeed it is: "oo dai"

LOL ...

When will people realize that there are more languages than solely english?

[brad-va]

Great news. Its good to hear of some progress when everyone is questioning why we're still over there. Go Troops!

hehehe. Reminds me of a T-shirt I saw not to long ago. "When it Absolutely, Positively has to be Destroyed Overnight! - U.S. Marines. Glad to hear they got those two piles of human waste. Couldn't have happened to a nicer pair. Now hopefully Saddam and Osama are next.

"Sanscreet"?? Is that like Sanscrit?

Please forgive my white-boy ignorance. I based my assumption on an article I read in Pravda (English version).

PS - Elif air ab tizak!

[dizuke]

Who cares how we're supposed to pronounce it...I think the proper pronunciation is "Fuck Stick"!!!!

Die Mutha Fucker-Semper Fi!

[hawkeye]

this is great. two down and two to go.

[dim5]

I gotta wonder. Is the guy who's getting the reward going into some equivalent of the witness protection program? He's done the US of A a great service, but he's also made a lot of enemies. I hope he gets a chance to enjoy some of his reward. We (the USA) need to treat him well so that it's an example for others...

[Drider_it]

*Drider breaks out his two small AMERICAN FLAGS and DANCES a jig..* OO DAI... ooooo ddaaiii.. toe missles come and snuff you both.. hey loser oo dai tell satan hi.. oo dai hide and uncle sam come..

hehe.. sorry.. i dont care if they had WMD they were ones that funded terroist groups.. they help other kill helpless civilians.. good ridiance

[crow_daw]

Have fun getting fisted in Hell, you rancid dead men.

[thephuse]

thass some good news...
how do we know these arent like... look alikes like saddam had..

[limproach]

thank goodness

[JStrider]

i think it would have been infinitely better to have taken them alive and been able to interogate them and whatnot and then sent them off to trial...
not only would that have been better information wise but i have already heard reports that some countries are saying by killing them the US is stooping down to their level...

i think capturing them alive would have been better... but not worth the life of a single soldier...

[Zeld2.0]

capturing would be better in the long run

great to celebrate now but you'll really kick yourself in the ass later when you realize they had info you can't get anywhere else other than from saddam.. and saddam can't be found because you killed 'em

[Phaenx]

There's no way in hell they would have come peacefully. And even then, Saddam was one of the most paranoid leaders ever, so I doubt he told even his kids where he's hiding.

[Buk]

I'm glad we got them, but its too bad we didnt get them alive. I guess its one of those "We won't be taken alive!" type of scenarios but I'd have loved to see those assholes put on trial.

Now if only we could find their dad.

[darkshade]

nice to hear some good news for once

[H12]

If you follow South Park much, you'd know that Satan is Saddam's bitch already. I wonder if his children will get the same fortune or not.

[Brian Fellows]

Good Riddance!

[dizuke]

I think if we had gotten them alive, they would have told us NOTHING, let's not forget who they were!

Wouldn't be France you're talking about, would it? Fuck them! They weren't there. They never have been.

We didn't walk in there and execute these bastards. It was a four hour fire fight. I wouldn't be surprised if we find out the mutant spawn took their own lives.

[Mupwah]

Saddam is probably having a hissy fit
