" I am glad that Saddam's sons are dead ".

I too wish they had been captured alive, as opposed to being blasted to smitherenes.The Army had 200 troops, helicopter gun ships, unmanned vehicles, and goodness knows what else.

Yet there was supposedly a SIX HOUR " fierce " gun battle with four guys with light weapons, held up in a house with no where to go or hide, and a price on their head.

They could have been easily taken alive if they didn't commit suicide themselves.They could have been used to help find the alleged WMDs.Certainly if there were any, these two would have known about it.

What an opportunity lost this has been, but I doubt those looking for any sign of progress will consider this.

Too bad.
