[Joe Brower]

Ya know, considering the firepower that was utilized in bagging these two scumbags, it's sort of amazing that there was more than a spoonful left -- just enough for DNA tests.

Hate to dissapoint you but that vehicle is not an Explorer rather a Toyota Land Cruiser circa '98-'99.

General Scales on Brit Hume's show last night said the TOW missles were used mainly to break through the walls and sandbags they were using to protect the house. They had built an above ground bunker there.

I am not entirely sure the brothers were hit by the missiles. Regardless, they deserved to die.

Film at eleven.

[Old Sarge]

A picture is worth 1,000 rounds.

Now...

If these pics are being shared across the planet, when you y'all think the Socialist Media is going to air the photos of Americans dying on Sept. 11th?

Or, might that be too distressing?

[chukcha]

No matter what was their reputation, they died a heroic death.

According to some reports, Qusay's teenage son survived the TOW attack and met US soldiers with gunfire. They will probably name a street after him in Jenin.
