THE TAR BABY PUNCHES BACK

Saddam's Sons Killed? (CBS News, July 22, 2003)

U.S. officials were examining the bodies of two men killed in a shootout in the northern city of Mosul on Tuesday to see if they are Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai.

The men were among four Iraqis reported killed in a firefight involving troops from the 101st Airborne Division at a house owned by a cousin of Saddam who is a key tribal leader in the region.

U.S. officials stressed there was no confirmation of their identities, but indicate that early reports from the scene suggest the possibility that Saddam's sons were among the dead.

Regardless of whether it's them this time, this shows the stupidity of current Democratic strategy. We're going to get them--and their father and Osama or the respective corpses--eventually and having made such a big deal about it, the Democrats will have to acknowledge the signifigance, no? What else will be left but for them to start complaining that it took too long? Posted by Orrin Judd at July 22, 2003 1:05 PM
