Wow, MSNBC first, and not the Coran News Network.

[GulliverSwift]

MSNBC needs all the help it can get.

[Timesink]

Has CNN gotten a single scoop in this entire war?

[_Jim]

NBC just made the announcement with a break-in on network programming ...

[antaresequity]

Count on this:

An armored task force is moving to secure the site

That smirk on Tommy Franks face today while walking down the hallway upon returning to Quatar and when asked: "how long is this going to take" ...means that he knew....the intel was hard and he was confident

[429CJ]

Would their be anything left of the bodies to confirm?

Will there always be a suspision (sp) that he is still out there?

[Allan]

He's dead again!!

[429CJ]

This just in:

Bagdad Bob says that Iraqi forces bombed the White House.

[dinok]

Its a pure guess at this time from seeing them go in a building.

Saddam's guards that defected said that many of his bunkers have entrances in one building and tunnels to take them to the bunker.

It's probably how he got out of the last bunker strike.
Let's wait before we count him out.

[AnnO]

Please let it be Saddam and sons and enough DNA to prove it! Please, Please, Please!!!!!

[Cabbages and Kings]

Bagdad Bob is correct! It would have been impossible for the Americans to have killed Saddam since they have all comitted suicide!

[kinghorse]

Did someone say Saddam and Sons?

[k2blader]

Bump!

[looois]

I'm bothered by this. That all three would be in the same location cannot be. Maybe it's just a ploy on our part to get him to stick his ugly head back up to show he's alive, while we've got resources in place which can spot him.

That isn't going to work, either.

I've been misled before. Will hold judgement until they show me the fried bacon.

Fox had it at 9:46 PM EDT

If Saddam was killed, U.S. military planners would have achieved one of their prime objectives in the war. It would cap a dramatic day in which U.S. forces established a foothold in one of Saddam’s palaces in Baghdad after swooping into the city the day before.

Of course, the Information minister would probably prop his dead body up on a chair and do a little ventriliquism with his "dummy."

CNN's Christianne A-manpower would call it "further proof that the regime is still intact."

US targeted Saddam in bombing, result not known

WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Monday bombed a target in Baghdad where Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein may have been inside, a U.S. official said.

"There was intelligence that came in this morning which suggested that there was a gathering of Iraqi intelligence officials and
possibly including Saddam and both of his sons in a residential district of Baghdad," the official told Reuters.

The information was passed to Central Command which authorized aircraft in the area to bomb the site.

There was no confirmation yet that Saddam or his sons were killed in the strike, the official said.

CNN reported that the building targeted in the bombing was completely destroyed.

Another U.S. official told Reuters U.S. forces struck "leadership targets of oppportunity" in Baghdad, but declined to say
who was the target or whether Saddam and his two sons were believed dead or alive.

The fate of Saddam and those of his sons, Qusay and Uday, have been the subject of intense speculation since they were
targeted in an initial U.S. strike on March 19 on a residential compound on the outskirts of Baghdad.

That initial bombing started the U.S.-led war against Iraq. A man believed to be Saddam has been seen on videotapes aired
on Iraqi television since that first strike but it has been unclear when those tapes were made, shedding little light on whether
the Iraqi president had survived that first strike.

I don't know how reliable this is...what is the Iraqi Information Ministry saying? ;)

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

In one sense I hope this is not true. I don't wish to hear, for the rest of my life, Saddam seen in Athens, Rome,Paris and Richmond Virginia.
