It appears there waiting for DNA tests to be sure but the bodies where identifiable.

Wow, three of us in the same minute. I refreshed just before I posted my thread to see if anyone else had done it, and there were no threads on this. In the time it took me to say "Uday and Qusay apparently dead" and "www.cnn.com", two other people made threads.

Heh.

Good lord, I heard about this almost three hours ago.

This is good news at least. Morale booster, just what we need now.

If it turns out to be true, it is certainly good news. Having the top 3 still running around is not good for morale, or the safety of the troops.

No one, since its the only one with additional on topic posts.

Speaking of which, CNN's showing footage of the house involved, its hard to believe it took them six hours to overwhelm the place, it looks like it must have been hit a half dozen plus times with rockets or anti tank missiles.

All I can say it good riddance to the bastards. Let's hope they're not body doubles or something.

Hopefully this will discourage some of the Saddam loyalists.

It would be better to open the coffin and take a dump on their faces. :evil:

I think it's great news. Hoepfully, they aren't doubles, and Saddam will soon be found.

I was hoping the fuckers would be caught alive, but this will do.

Some one? Probable evey one involved will get a slice. At at $30 million in total, the slice isnt going to be tiny.

The Hussein Boys are dead, Idi Amin is on his deathbed....

Good day.

But, I think you'll find soon even better news will some out of Iraq. Saddam is either dead or will be shortly.

Excellent. Plus, those soldiers that got them are probably going to be some very happy campers when that bounty is paid.

Shit, there goes my retirement plan. Well, there's still Saddam and Osama... Wonder what kind of offers I'd get for an Ayatollah on the market?

Are the soldiers able to get the bounty? I would assume not. I think the guy that walked into the the office and told the soldiers where the two sons were is going to get it.

You're right. The US soldiers are ineligable for the bounty, anyway, since the money was for information.

Good, but I don't think we should be pissing on their bodies. I have a much better use for them... :twisted:
