The RW is crowing over Uday/Qusay
Saying its a bad day for Democrats, but who ever said they were a point of contention? I don't think anyone would argue they were good people.

Besides, we knew *they* existed, its the WMD's that we're wondering about...

1. How is this a bad day for Democrats
If anyone gives you any lip, ask them about Saddam. If that doesn't shut them up, ask them about Bin Laden.

5. Don't try to apply reason to Totalitarian Monsters
expertly programmed by Goebbels v2.0.

Just be ready, because in the future (perhaps the not-too-distant-future), they will be coming for us like the KKK in 1932 Alabama.

Except this time, owing to the Imperial Lie and "progress", the murders will not be race-based.

(of course, it will just be an unfortunate coincidence that so many of the victims are Black, Hispanic, Jewish, or gay)

13. Why a bad day for Democrats?
Didn't you hear? We are traitors. We love Saddam Hussein. We hate America and want to see America fail. We also kick dogs, go through the express lane with 11 items, and sacrifice christian babies to satan.

14. The reality is that this can only help Democrats.
If Uday and Qusay are really dead, it means nothing to the Democrats. On the other hand, if they show up in an Iraqi music video next month, the Republicans will look like the idiots that they are.

2. Desperate Attempt
To grab onto anything that remotely resembles good news...this will be on the back burner within a week if not less. They are dead ! There is no ongoing story to cover. If they had captured them it could be milked. Within a few days the focus will be back on the needless casualties and the lying.

10. Exactly!
That's one of my questions. One thing has nothing to do with the other. The lie is still a lie. Or, the lies are still lies. There have been many.

8. I'm not buying this - it's not like we have Hussein
And if they're dead, it's not like they can give us the info we need to find Hussein.

Seriously, this story is crap!

12. Are they also crowing over the dead teenage boy?
According to CNN, one of the bodies belonged to a teenage boy. While I am glad that Uday and Qusay are gone, I am not happy about the dead boy or any other innocents who lost their lives during this war.

15. Don't worry, they are
seizing on anything to look good. This won't last and smirk will be in hot water again soon........!!! Also, maybe it will be good for them to think heat is coming off so they make another mistake..

16. the Trash Twins...

do you think Saddam will try going after the Bush twins now?

Isn't that what "Bring it on" means in a way?

17. So, that was our objective?
"Mission accomplished" again because we killed the Hussein brothers? This is a bit of a reach. It should occupy folks for a news cycle or two, but the trenchant questions remain: Why did we invade in the first place, are we any safer now, where are the weapons of mass destruction, were we misled by the administration on any of this?

Still a lot to be answered for. A lot.
