BTW: Today is the 5th Anniversary of Uday's and Qusay's deaths.

Reporters should ask the Iraqis what they think Saddam, Uday and Qusay would be doing today, if they were still in power.

Wow. FIVE years!!???

And about 100% of us jumped for joy here on FR, and of that, about 90% thought it would be beginning of the end of the War there. Little did we know what a rough nut to crack this damned thing would be proven to be. I know I felt that way. (just being honest). Same when we got Saddam, same when we got Zarkawi, another overly-optimistic similar cheer went up.

I will not forget the breaking news photos of those two laying lifeless there on the slabs. One looked like Freddy Mercury in pretty bad shape.

So little I knew in July 2003. ;-)

If someone had told me then that I was going to be mixed up in this, I'd have asked them what the heck they were smoking.

I am not a vindictive person but it gives me a chuckle and a smile to imagine Uday roasting in hell right now.

Iraq's Olympic athletes would be very nervous and fearful with the Games approaching, for one.

This is going to upset Charlie Rangel again. He was quite distraught when Uday and Qusay were dispatched to hell:
""We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody," Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."

"We tried to assassinate Castro and we paid dearly for it," Rangel contended. "And when you personalize the war and you say you're killing someone's kids, then they, in turn, think they can kill somebody."
  —July 22, 2003 Hannity and Colmes [emphasis added]

Yes, to Marxist Charlie Rangel, these two raping and murdering SOBS were really just Saddam's kids, no different than your own kids.
