Killing those two will not change anything. The repugs think it will though - just as they thought the aftermath of the war would be a cakewalk. Another miscalculation. Too bad for them.

There's a lot more to this than his icky sons and I don't think these guys could find their way out of a paper bag let alone run a competent insurgency against the U. S.

And while Rummy and Co want to call all of the killings of US soldiers the result of "bitter enders", I'd say not.

I could be wrong, but I'll wait for the proof.

It is just another ploy by the WH. Something that has puzzled me is, why did our troops not use tear gas? Was it so important to this administration to actually kill the sons in order to look as if they were really doing something? If the military could get bullets into the house surely the could have used tear gas. If they had been taken alive they might have given us some useful information about where their father is. Also, the Iraqi people could see that they had been captured. I am afraid this is an operation that has been bungled. A couple of days of this "news" and pronouncements by our glorious leader and we will be back to "18 words" and patsies taking the fall for the WH.

"If the military could get bullets into the house surely the could have used tear gas."

It's a form of chemical warfare which is banned by the Geneva protocols. It is legal for a government to use chemical weapons on it's own civilian population incidentally; and I suspect the WH didn't want to argue over whether the Iraqis are now American civilians.


"If they had been taken alive they might have given us some useful information about where their father is."

More pertinantly for Bush and Blair's political future, the location of the supposed WMDs. I marvel out how the media/government can claim the elimination of a potentially rich source of information as a victory. Not that I believe there are any WMDs of any consequence to be found but you take my point I hope.

capture them but thought perhaps there was no chance because of the "surprise" element and that we had no idea who was in the "house". Then I heard that we had been told by a cousin who was there which should have triggered a capture them alive response for the potential knowledge they had instead of the guns and missles blaxing approach.

As with every thing this administration does, it was for show and a tip of the hat to the shoot 'em up members of the repig party.

The guys in my office were disgusting, almost orgasming on the news.

What has our country become, we have regressed morally and intellectually back to rawhide.

is the vigilante justice aspect of it. They were a nasty bit of work, but they should have been brought to justice in a court of law, not summarily executed in a military strike.

our Tresury Sec. said this will stimulate the economy.

How's the stock market today, is it getting an "assassination bump?"
