Actually, my young supple mind is probably more qualified to have an objective opinion for a few reasons.

1. This is America, I vote, so my opinion does matter. You can always move to Cuba if freedom bothers you Slowwy.

2. I wasn't subject to the Reagan and other propaganda, so I can objectively look at his actions and judge his admin accordingly

3. People are born with a limited number of brain cells. Your older, so you've lost more.

4. I'm Sava... a god... probably not THE God, but definitely A god.

5. And it's nice to know, that since the times I was sucking on my mommas tities, I've still sucked on more titties than you.

Yup, they're being real hypocrits. If it was a couple of dead westerners it'd be different. Maybe an ex-nazi shot dead trying to escape Mossad or something 'Oooh, we can't show that, it's upsetting and tasteless' but a couple of Arabs and there's no shyness whatsoever.

It's not intelligent reporting.

I wonder more what the effect will be in the general Arabic populace. Will they set the Saddam era behind them, or will they see the brothers as martyrs who fought to death against the vile forces of christian oppression rather than submit and surrender.

The hussein brothers were by all accounts about as devoutly muslim as mickey mouse. They were vicious, sick men. To consider them martyrs for Islam would be like giving the purple heart to the Malvo kid for getting beaten in jail.

To show the pictures of dead bodies (whoever they are!) in public is disgusting and given the opportunities of computer aided retouching it proves nothing except the low culture of those who show it.

No, it's the only way to get the unacceptability of offensive war into people's heads.

The DNA analysis by independent specialists is a far better method to credibly prove their identity.

Who's independent these days? Switzerland?

Reuters supposedly had a news story that said, "US Displays Bodies Claimed to be Udai and Qusai".

Gee, I wonder what they are hoping to accomplish.

Face it SLowwy, GulfWar I was about reinstalling the Kuwaiti dictators... not removing Saddam. I'm sure Bush thought he could get Saddam back under control like he was all those years during the Reagan admin when we were giving him billions in weapons and aid.


And about protecting the Saudi oilfields. They are right next to Kuwait. We even fought a battle on Saudi soil.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Hey, the face of one of the guys looks like they had stiched it together before they took the picture. I guess he was not taken out by small-arms fire only.

I regret the war itself, but not the death of these two suckers. Each one of them had more blood on their hands than the total casualties of this war on both sides so far.

What more worries me is the unnecessary death of the civilians who are killed every day because they misunderstand or neglect orders at American road blocks (perhaps because the Americans haven't bothered to learn the Arabic language, or are jsut a little too trigger happy?) I read a first-hand report today of a vehicle that was destroyed and all occupants killed, without the Yanks even bothering to examine who was inside and who the just killed. The wreck was just left on the road and the locals had to clean up the mess. You would expect more from soldiers who are trying to spread the ideas of "Democracy and Freedom" to the World.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I know why people like Zulu and Red-jon are pissed off. Because it eliminates the possibility that they can shout "lie" at US claims that the brothers had perished.

Think about it. All those complaining that the US has provided the evidence of its accomplishments here would be complaining if they didn't. They would be shouting LIE!

So the common thread is a blatant anti-US position that would exist regardless of what America does: pathetic.

The only problem with that is they need to compare this DNA data against something. Since I strongly doubt that the US intelligence units has DNA information on Saddam's sons, this seems to be a totally meaningless gesture.

You can compare their DNA to the DNA of some of their Relatives (if there exist any which aren´t involved in the Crimes of the Saddam Regime and are currently available).
