Saddam's Sons: Dead and Deader!

by Joe Katzman at July 22, 2003 9:52 PM

Recall this article we ran a while ago about Uday and Qusay Hussein, Saddam's most dangerous biological weapons and living proof that human evil is real. Now there are reports they may have been killed in a major raid near Mosul. Pentagon is using language like "reasonably confident". We'll see.

UPDATE: Well, kiss mah grits... looks like they got the sons of bitches:

"We're certain that Uday and Qusay were killed," Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez told a news conference in Baghdad. "We've used multiple sources to identify the individuals."

All just one day after we published that Special Forces letter from Iraq which promised:

"P.S. A couple of you asked me about Curly and his two sons, Dumb and Dumber. I still think we got him and one son, but the slugs may have gotten away. If they are alive, I can't believe they are hanging around here. Even Curly isn't that stupid ... then again. He might be in Syria or Lebanon. If he is, he's too moronic to keep quiet, then we'll get him. I promise."

And Mosul, yet... isn't that kind of like Josef Mengele trying to hide out in a quiet suburb of Tel-Aviv?

UPDATE:
· Our coverage continues.
· The shift in U.S. Tactics that made the difference.
