NPR's Guy Roz reporting gunfire in Baghdad on 1430 AM

[RandomKoolzip]

says it might (might) be "celebratory" gunfire in honor of Uday "n' Qusay Hussein.

Now says there are "exchanges of gunfire...."

Gunfight taking place in square where Saddam statue was toppled...

1. MSNBC

just said huge explosions going off in Baghdad. I can't find anything because all the cable media is showing are locals waiting for Jessica to come home.

2. Yahoo news says Saddam's sons killed

From their News Page:

"Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai were believed to have been killed Tuesday in a raid by U.S. forces who surrounded the home of a cousin, a senior U.S. official said. Two other Iraqis also were killed. The official, a member of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad who spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators were "awaiting positive DNA testing" to confirm the identities."

This could give Jr. a spike in the polls.

3. Yes, I know. That happened earlier. My post concerns what is...

happeneing right now. While Guy Roz was reporting from Baghdad about the finding of the Hussein Boys, Explosions started going off in the public square. Nothing right now on the news about this.

5. they lean toward 'celebratory'

...but these things often have a way of escalating from 'celebratory.'

there was, NPR reported, a 14-year-old boy killed in the house where the Saddam sons got it....Bush is sure to celebrate death again. Will he have any regrets at all about that boy?

4. Just in time to save him from sub50s too...

...how...convienient. Why would this give him a spike? Is he going to hang glide into Baghdad trailing a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED...AGAIN?" banner?

6. You mean they might have actually killed someone significant?

With all the power and might of the US military machine, you would think we could find the bad guys, without having to destroy half the country in the process.

So finally, we think maybe we're don't know but it might be we're pretty sure we killed Saddam's sons. So? Is Iraq suddenly going to get better as a result? Will the terrorists bring back whatever WMD's they bought after the fall? Will it mean that W isn't a liar?

If this is the best W can do, then I'm not impressed.
