Has FOX mobilized Geraldo? The further away he is, the more credibility I can give this report...

I volunteer to haul it to Sacramento and park it outside the governor's office and mansion.

I have the perfect machine. I'll email it to you know, I don't know how to post it or I would.

Has anyone besides me noticed how quiet the Da$$hole has been in the past few weeks.

I don't think he said one thing during the Yellow Cake Scam where his party tried to electronically lynch GW last week.

"Steve Santani showing pictures"

Santani, Santini, Santino.... maybe they look like Santino Corleone after the tollbooth scene in The Godfather.

I hope that we have to shell out about $30 million for the bits and pieces of his sons, as a reward to those who turned these scumbags in.

I want none of these Soddomite spawn nor the old man taken alive.

I'm with you Grampa. As Cody, the marine Abrams driver said, kill'em all.

Apparently those Iraqis never heard of the Branch Davidians. They should have surrendered.

The house definitely looks like the toll booth! Bullet holes everywhere!

DoD now reporting it is "most likely" the two sons were killed!

Five people now listed as killed in that house -- 101st Airborne fired everything they had at the house.

Hats off the 101st and to our Intelligence Community.

It looks like Steve C. is still with the 101st most of the time. Members of the 101st in Mosul are reinforcing the ground troops already there. Fighting is over but they are reinforcing with darkness approaching -- not taking any chances. Best men and arms around.

A whole convoy drove through and a General is now on the scene. This is big news!

Third time's the charm, we can hope. It's encouraging that this raid was apparently the result of excellent intelligence, which shows that we're on the job in Iraq, still taking out the trash, and perhaps we're finding Iraqis who are cooperative.

Thanks for posting this: Four bodies found -- make the ID without DNA testing! Senior officials it is "very likely" that his two sons were killed in a special forces raid several hours ago. Very likely that President Bush will make the announcement of their death!

Send the SPECOPs to kill the bad guys. The bad guys can try to fight, but they will just get sweaty, dirty, tired and very afraid. Then they will die.

Lets hope this happens soon: Very likely that President Bush will make the announcement of their death!

I am of the opinion that they should have lived to experience a good grilling while having bobby vinton and britney tunes piped in 24/7 and loud till they talked. Then we choose how they die in execution versus letting them choose the time , place and manner of their death.........

These POS clingons need to experience same fear and pain they subjected their victims to for so many years. Don't enjoy letting tyrants off easy like this if they indeed were killed in this fight.....

Stay Safe !

There will be some sort of announcement out of Pentagon or Centcom sometime today. By the hour officials at the Pentagon getting more confident they are the sons of Saddam. Bodies have been taken out of the house -- two of the son, 3rd a bodyguard, and 4th a teenager who looks to be the grandson of Saddam. Elite Special Forces and CIA tied together came up with Intelligence that they were in Mosul and then in this House.

What a wonderful day!

It was only a matter of time, anyway.

Our guys are good, and I mean that in every sense of the word.

U.S. forces surrounded the home of a cousin of Saddam Hussein

How stupid is that? Meeting in the home of a relative.

When in Rome... If this is indeed Saddam's bastard sons, they need to string their bodies up and parade them through the streets. Of course, we are more civilized than that but, in this case, you have to show the citzenry the only way they'll understand.

Surprising that Saddam wasn't with them. Maybe he's been dead all along.

Two bodies bear a strong resemblence to the two sons. Being very cautious but the quote that Fox is getting is "very likely" and DoD personnel are feeling confident they were killed in the raid.

They expect a release shortly. SecDef Rumsfeld has briefed the President on what has happened.
