I'm wondering if the sons had body doubles too? I hope this is the real thing! It would give the troops, and the Iraqi people themselves a huge boost! But even if not the sons; hopefully some other high officials!

I'd call that a 5-series. I thought that Uday and Qusay would drive better than that.

White House putting 90-95% on the fact that the two sons were killed according to Jim Angle.

I mean those who preach and advocate death to Americans. If they say it, they might do it or pay someone to do it.

Maybe they were trying to keep it low-profile.

Man, this makes me feel good!

Al Jazerra quoting the owner of the House saying the two sons and one grandson were in the House

That ought to be considered pretty reliable evidence. If anything, he ought to be tempted to deny any knowledge.

The only problem is we didn't find out from the spawn where they planted their spawner's corpse.

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

They are saddened. This is a setback for the DemoBaath Party.

They also reported that Saddam's wife and two daughter-in-laws were in Mosul recently. Arab TV saying that it was the two sons.

Only shots in front of the house is on Fox!

General from 101st is on with Steve! Gen Frank Tilmak (sp) on scene during the firefight. General -- received some actual intelligence that high ranking members of the former regime were in the house. Operation began this morning at 10:00 -- lasted until 1:00. Received direct fire from the building most of the time. We encountered small arms fire -- had to use bigger caliber weapons -- also used helicopters -- grenade launcher 50 cal!

DoD will release the information on two sons!

You may have gotten part of your wish.

Saddam is probably in some cave with Elvis and Ben Laden eating 7/11 burritos and cutting those tapes we keep hearing about.

Very likely that President Bush will make the announcement of their death!

If he does I have a very nice Arturo Fuente to light up when I get home.
