WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) on Wednesday hailed the deaths of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s two sons as the clearest sign yet that "the former regime is gone and will not be coming back."

Bush called Odai and Qusai Hussein, who were both killed on Tuesday during a firefight with U.S. forces, "two of the regime's chief henchmen ... responsible for torture, maiming and murder of countless Iraqis."

Still, in a Rose Garden appearance with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and L. Paul Bremer, the U.S. occupation governor for Iraq (news - web sites), Bush said that "a few remaining holdouts" loyal to Saddam's government are complicating efforts to stabilize Iraq and advance freedom.

"These killers are the enemies of Iraq's people. They operate mainly in a few areas of the country. And wherever they operate, they're being hunted and they will be defeated," Bush said in brief remarks. He did not respond to questions shouted by reporters.

1. All things aside.....

If my two sons were killed, and I was still alive, you bet your ass that I'd be coming back with a vengenance.....it may take a little while, but count on it.

If Saddam is still alive that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

7. what did you say?

"deja vu usually means they've changed something in the Matrix ..."

3. He's gotta do something

...to stop his nosedive in the polls.

Unfortunately for him, it won't work. Better invade Syria and "git" Saddam, who tried to kill Dubya's daddy.

4. Was he wearing fighter pilot duds? Codpiece? Sock?

I am afraid that whatever he says without that paraphernalia is null and void since Tenet and Condi didn't sign on it (I finally got it, right?)

5. Baghdad Bush?

This guy is starting to sound like the Ba`ath minister of propaganda. "I tell you, the regime is now dead. No, wait. NOW it is dead. Okay, wait a sec'... There! It just died, and this time I mean it."

6. Yep.....and we are all waiting for the end to your regime too.

This was pure and simple VENGENCE to the max!

Unneccessary killing!!!

You've got your country yet you always want more, more and more.

8. Proclaiming another end

I wonder how we'll photo op *this* end?

Maybe we can take an air craft carrier out of service as a museum to the great leadership of our brave president.

We can have a larger than life bronze statue, too. But this time we can shove a pool noodle down his pants.

must be those "last remaining Saddam loyalists," right?

Did anyone here NOT see this QUAGMIRE coming?

11. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

"Bring 'Em On!"



Fucking cretin.

12. Wish WE had a 3 strikes rule.

Just more "victory is just around the corner," "light at the end of the tunnel" BS. Body bags have a way of focusing public attention on the discrepancy between rhetoric and reality, no matter how big the lies and how whorish the quiskling media.

13. Unfortunately

The body bags keep coming.
