Nightmare at the front door - Saddam's sons and grandson
The information prompted nearly 200 soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division to swoop down on the house on Tuesday morning, just 12 hours after receiving the tip. When two attempts to storm the house were met with intense small-arms fire from the second floor, the commander on the scene ordered a volley of 10 antitank missiles to be fired at the house, an escalation of force that killed the two brothers and one of Hussein’s bodyguards, military officials said today. A fourth occupant, believed to be Qusay’s 14-year-old son Mustafa, apparently survived the missile strikes and shot at the entering troops before he was gunned down, officials said.

Please explain to me what 'intense small-arms fire' means? Were there 2-4 guns firing? Did you ask how many weapons were found inside the house? Did you ask why a sleeping gas/irritant gas wans't used? Do you think that they might have known where the WMD are since they are so evil, as I've read? Do you think they know the connections and agents between Iraq and Al Qadea, since they are the most connected people to Saddam?

Thanks for the heads-up unbias reporting! God bless you!

1. Why kill a 14 year old child?
This must be a new strategy to keep the Ýraqis under control.
