Back to the subject at hand...does this make up for the fact that WMD was found?

Are you saying there are no WMD or that none were found?

LOL. That would have been hot.

I knew there was a reason Kath was my friend. It's too bad we couldn't have voted you president instead.

Thanks Kath.

Two down, the old man to go!

I'm unabashedly cheering because:

1. Hopefully our troops are one step closer to returning home.

2. I'm happy on behalf of the Iraquis who have two less distators (dictators-in-training???) to worry about.

I don't think the deaths of Saddam's sons can be compared in any way, shape or form with the deaths of the people who perished in the World Trade Center and (most of the people) in the Pentagon. By virtue of their places in Saddam's regime, his sons were considered to be combatants whereas the people who died in the terrorist attacks were mostly civilians.

Damn, just got this on news and see that GCers have already got it on!

Why feel sorry for these men!???

They kiled many Iraqis! It was a 6 hr gun battle! We are losing Our Me Dailey!

I am a Christian, but are these people any different than Hitler, Stalin Tito, ETC!? NO!

Being Christian is not always right or wrong.

Ah Yes the morons are celebrating by shooting weapons in the air! Da what goes up must come down! How many dead will be found by gun fire from Iraqis?

It can't be too soon.

As for feeling bad for the sons, remember that they died in what has been described as a pretty fierce firefight with our forces. They could have surrendered and faced international justice, but chose their own fate in the end.

I find it difficult to feel sorry for them in any way.

As a side note, I don't think it's necessarily dumb to be concerned about possible retaliation from Saddam, so the remark about Y2K might be sillier than the post that sparked that reply. Saddam may have resources that we know nothing of.

Edited to add:

Just watched an ABC Special where they were speculating that Saddam might try something spectacular to go out in a blaze of glory.

Maybe, maybe not. But I don't think we should celebrate too early.

Tito? of the Jackson 5? I think Jacko's the one we need to fear from that group. No distinguishing facial features due to massive reconstruction and the parenting skills of Susan Smith or Andrea Yates. (another 2 people whom i wouldn't be too sorry to see go)

I wish i didn't have to work today, i'd like to watch the briefing on the raid. Hopefully i'll be able to catch it on rerun later in the afternoon. Docet, i'm with you 361%. a big portion of evil left the world when they died and i'm all the happier.

Kitso
KS 361 days or less(hopefully) that saddam has left

How are we any safer? Really? Like, for real for real. When has Saddam Hussein planned an attack on the United States? There was no connection between Al-Qaeda and Hussein.

And the Taliban didn't have any beef with us in the first place.

Come on people, let's get sensible, not partisan.
