If it is true I hope the corpses are visually identifiable.

Fox has a total exclusive on this -- no other broadcast media in the area.

Remember when US troops first went into Baghdad? Fox was the only network with embedded reporters with the advancing units. Fox, of course, was reporting wall-to-wall the move into the city. The other cable networks were totally silent on the story. Why? Because it was a Fox exclusive.

I am beginning to wonder if Saddam was killed in that bombing in Bagdad where all those people were seen digging after the bombing.

Like you, I would have thought he would have been with his sons. Remember the other day when someone out of Baghdad said they didn't believe Saddam was behind these attacks but left open his sons were involved.

This could be a very interesting day. Two ruthless sons taken out!

Well, for the record, I'm referring to the deck of cards, the fedayeen, the jihadists and the hardcore Ba'athtards.

Call me a moderate!

Seems Fox News Reporter is traveling with the 101st. He sure picked the right group to be with.

Fox has blown the competition out of the water with this report live from the grounds of the firefight!

Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division check a car parked in front of a house which U.S. stormed in the northern city of Mosul, July 22, 2003. Troops from the 101st traded fire with gunmen holed up in a house belonging to a cousin of Saddam Hussein. Mosul residents claimed U.S. soldiers were searching for Saddam's sons, Qusay and Uday.                        REUTERS/Stefano Rellandini

Yes a wonderful day.

Remeber the bad old days when it seemed that something always happened to pull Klinks coals out of the fire at every opportune moment?

Well, I'm basking in the fact that the liberals and leftists must be suffering increases in blood pressure and migraines by the millions.

Not very Christian I know but I am, after all, a sinner who strives to do better but sometimes fails. :-}

I only wanted Uday and Qusay alive long enough to say where they buried Saddam. After that, give them Excedrin headache #5.56.

From the way the Fox reporter in Mosul, Baer at the Pentagon, and Goller at the White House is reporting right now, I would say everyone is fairly certain that Saddams two sons were killed in this raid.

This will give the CIA a necessary boost as according to Baer at the Pentagon, the CIA and Special Forces teamed up on this one!

Best news I have had in a while.

"The house was burned to the ground after a LOUD, four-hour gunbattle..."

Hey guys, could you please switch over to quiet gunbattle mode? I've got a headache.

Our servic men and women over in harms way in Iraq, are the best.

If they didn't get the bad guys today, they will.

Only the scumbags of America run down what our service men and women are doing in Iraq.

Those are the same scumbags who tried to Electronically lynch our President with the Yellowcake Scam.

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.....

No. If we let them live, as long as these two dirtbags were alive, the media would be harping on how the Iraqis are rallying around them as they sit in a prison cell, unjustly jailed by the imperialistic fascist selected President of the US. The left would demand thatnthey be given a "fair trial by the Iraqi citizens" (translation - they would have to be brought in front of some sham "tribual" where acquittal would be guaranteed and they were allowed to escape to a life of exiled luxury in Saudi Arabia).

Far, far better that these animals are dead - the best thing that could happen (assuming that they're in large enough pieces) would be to hoist their corpses from a streetlamp and let the buzzards work them over.

There must be about 10,000 relatives of Soddomite with homes all over Iraq.

Looks like a BMW. And it survived the firefight. Thank goodness for that. We did not need any collateral damage.

Do not believe that the Clinton DemocRAT Party is having a very good day.

Fox has the ONLY live Broadcast reporter on the scene -- what a coup for Fox News.

Report coming into Baghdad -- people on the street have heard that the two sons have been killed, but some do not believe it. Some people are watching the Arab networks. Al Jazerra quoting the owner of the House saying the two sons and one grandson were in the House -- eyewitnesses on the ground. General public listening to it.

Believe that the one son was physically close to Saddam so now they are wondering where he is!

I got an email from my source in England. He said that Sky news and other Brit news sources were saying what was in the original post.

The house is still standing but riddled with bullet holes -- really in bad shape!
