Welcome to my world, where we all got a lift learning that the number 2 and number 3 cards, the ace of hearts and the ace of clubs, Uday and Qusay Hussien were dead. The 39 and 37 year old sons of Saddam went out in a hail of coalition gun fire, in an unsafe, safe house int the Northern city of Mosul, Iraq. The deaths were quickly confirmed by sight, finger prints and dental records, with Saddam's grandson Mustapha and a body guard also killed. The operation started when a Shiite cleric walked in and put the finger on the two brothers. The attack was a coordinated effort by the C.I.A. Delta Force and a task force from the famous 101st Airborne. So what was accomplished here?? First we showed Saddam Hussien's post war vulnerability, even in hiding. The Iraqi people, who celebrated, firing weapons in the air, have even less reprisal to fear, since the Hussien boys ran the Fedayeen Saddam and the Republican Guard, responsible for hundres of thousands of murders. Sattelite phones, computers, and lists of guerillas and terrorists were recovered, which could be the beginning of the end for the resistance, that has killed 27 U.S. troops since May 1st. It also shows that money talks, with the informant due 30 million dollars in reward money. The price tag on poppa's head, the ace of spades, is 25 million. Before the war Uday warned that his troops would make the mothers of U.S. soldiers weep blood instead of tears. Now it's his momma, probably about to become a widow, who weeps, but the tears are not of blood, but of freedom, as I see it ... I'm H.G. Listiak.
