I fought these guys for 20 years in another place.<br />All I have to say is that they actually like dying for what they see is the greater cause.<br />We will probably see the "Saddam's sons Martyrs"<br />start suicide attacks big time now.<br />The only thing you may be sure about in a war is that you will pay higher taxes.

That's true with the muslim extremists but the Saddam regime are all secular thugs doing it for the old fashion reasons of greed and power. Most of the bathists will run for the hills now.<br /><br />Rumsy briefed the Pres... Looks good!

Re: BREAKING NEWS: DECENT CHANCE UDAY & QUSAY KILLED

Hopefully its true this time and the bodies will be positively identified. I understand we suffered casualties as well, they are not elaborating on that yet. Two down, one to go. We need Saddam badly. I was in hopes that one of his own would do the job for us.<br /> <br />This war is far from over. Trying to civilize a country will take a very long time. The elimination of these two beasts is such a big step in that direction.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: DECENT CHANCE UDAY & QUSAY KILLED

Howzit guys.<br />Idon't mean to sound like PLYWOODY.....BUT how can you people say "prouder to be an american" , "part of the rebuilding effort" , "civilize a country"??? about a country and it's leader who were helped by U.S.A when it suited them. Might as well say that every Arab/Muslim in the world had something to do with THAT horrible event.<br />What about Zimbabwe,D.R.C,LIBERIA etc.<br />They all have more of an impact on my life(especially ZIMBABWE)than IRAQ,other than petrol prices going up.<br /><br />SORRY GUYS, that's just the way I feel. I would probably have felt the same as you if IT had happened to us, but why isn't anybody doing anything about our problems?<br /><br />I know there are going to be a lot of people who are unhappy with me, and I know that this post sounds completely wrong but we all have our faults! I DO NOT AGREE WITH TERRORISM OR SUPPRESSION IN ANY MANNER OR FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: BREAKING NEWS: DECENT CHANCE UDAY & QUSAY KILLED

I can empathize with your situation in SA - truly. I have many fiends and ex-colleges from SA so I know a little abou the situation.<br /><br />However, right now we have our own problems to deal with. The crazy radical msulims have declared war on us. They killed 3,000 of our people and destroyed two world landmarks in a single day with nothing more than box cutters and an insanely brilliant plot. Now if these total nuts got their hands on some WMDs - anthrax, VX, nuclear, whatever, these whackos won't hesitate a minute to use them on us. In large part, we have decided we can't afford to take any chances. We will strike first and strike hard if we have to. And honestly, we really don't give a **** what the rest of the World (ROW) thinks about it. We feel threatened and we will act with our full force if necessary. We will not be victims and we will never rest until we destroy our enemies.<br /><br />Sorry I know that's not popular right now in the ROW. I have traveled the world as part of my work so I am not simply being parochial. We didn't start this war but we sure as heck are going to finish it (unless a liberal democrat is elected in which case all bets are off)

Rogue 1, I feel for you in SA, but did you have any family killed in the 9/11 event?<br /><br />I lost a brother and I hope they kill ever terrorist out there whatever it takes.

SBN - I am very sorry to hear about your brother. <br /><br />I took those SF flights from Logan and often had meetings in the WTC. I could have easily been one of the victims...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: DECENT CHANCE UDAY & QUSAY KILLED

Rogue, I too understand your feelings. Being stationed part time in Ghana, WA, and with many friends in SA and Zimbabwe I can't help wish the USA would do more in Liberia and Zimbabwe, but priorities are priorities and 9/11 and the fall-out from that are front and center on everyone's mind in the US. Most would not be happy if we spread ourselves out further than we already are. Let us get one problem resolved, then we can work on the ROW. Hang in there, I am sure we will be coming to the people of Zimbabwe's aid if another country doesn't step up to the plate first. Just give us more time. With any luck, Mugabee will resign and new blood will change things....we can always hope and pray!

Phew! <br />In hindsight I thought I was going to be trashed.<br />Just goes to show we are all human beings and what ever goes on outside our front door is more important than the next town. Sorry SBN.
