BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Explosions and gunfire rang out in Baghdad on Saturday, underlining Iraq remains a dangerous place despite U.S. hopes that the killing of Saddam Hussein's two feared sons will help end armed resistance.

U.S. troops said they had opened fire and that a U.S. patrol may have come under attack. A U.S. military spokesman had no immediate comment. The blasts and gunfire lasted several minutes.

1. Asses
Why would they think killing SH son's would help end armed resistance? Does the DOD think so little of "the Arabs" that they do not understand that "the Arabs" understand just how anti-arab the DOD is.

Did the airing of dead U.S. soldiers stop the U.S. invasion?

2. Has their water, food, and electricity been restored?
You know, basic human needs, mr. "I don't do Quagmires".

Everything they touch turns to Shit! Why would this be any different?
