"Fire reported at Eiffel Tower in Paris
PARIS (AP) — One of the top floors of the Eiffel Tower was on fire Tuesday, officials said. Smoke could be seen rising from the famous Paris monument.
Officials said they were not sure whether anyone was on the top level, where the fire appeared to have erupted

It was in the red breaking news section but seems to have moved.

Sons dead? Damn you just eat that shit up like it's nothing don't you? Reading comprehension is your friend, no matter how much you'd like to insist otherwise.

Does the word "likely" mean anything to you? Also "burned beyond recognition" should immediately raise a warning flag for "another likely bullshit story" for those of us with half a brain.

From a strategic standpoint, why the fuck would both of his sons be in the same place? Having all the eggs in one basket (sans Saddam) just seems way too damn convenient.

it does bring up an interesting question as to how you verify to the public that the bodies are really the 2 sons.

no shit, DNA testing? tell me more of this DNA...

well obtuse as his "analysis" may be, Cartalas clarified my question Kilmoll.

The "liberals" are irrelevant in this scenario though Cart, the people you have to convince are the Iraqis.

And my question is does the US let somebody independently verify the DNA sample testing.

I just think it is an interesting question for the military/government to consider as to what level of assurance they feel is necessary to give the Iraqi populace.

Est il mal que la première chose I a pensé à sur la lecture que la tour d'Eiffel était sur le feu était cette chanson "Disco Inferno?" Brûlure, bébé, brûlure!

A big one.
These are a pair of sick, twisted mother fuckers that I can't even begin to describe. Both of them were confirmed multiple rapists, torture specalists, warmongers, and one of the two was to be sadam's sucessor. I think one of them also was set as the head of the ministry of information or communiction, I beleive.

They're been on the top 3 list for the US's hunt and kill orders since the war started. Some of our more in depth posters can get information together on the sheer number of the things these two have been reported to have done.

They identified the Qasay from all the bullet wounds he had from a failed assassination attempt from years ago. Ironically, or maybe not, the assassination was set up by his own father.

Yea was Uday. The significance of these deaths is Qusay was commander of the Republican guard and head of the secret police. Uday I think ran the propoganda network and Olympics for his country, pretty much viewed as being too unstable by Saddam to do much of anything else but torture people.

Qusay was the real bag here, Uday was just basically a serial rapist/murderer.

FYI, I know that a few will expect this to be yet another "piece of liberal slanted" shit, but those of you who arent fucking tards will recognize the fact that Charley Reese is typically considered a moderate conservative.

Word has come that some folks have begun to question my conservative credentials. That's easy to understand. There are quite a few blockheads in America today who falsely wear the label "conservative."

Some blockheads equate being a conservative with ardent support of any war, no matter how unconstitutional, unnecessary and unjust the war might be. A true conservative supports the Constitution and does not support anybody or anything that violates it. Some people have said there is a resemblance between America today and the Weimar Republic, which eventually produced Adolf Hitler. I think there is some truth to that comparison. There are an awful lot of heel-clickers who swoon with admiration for any politician willing to bomb some foreigners. These same people are more than willing to trade liberty (which they make little use of anyway) for security. That is not conservatism.

A wonderful Southern scholar, Dr. Clyde Wilson, has defined the difference between patriotism and nationalism. A patriot, he says, loves his land and his people; a nationalist loves his government. A conservative wishes to preserve the prosperity and health of both the land and the people, not squander them in unnecessary wars.
Definately an interesting definition he has for a conservative. If that were how most "conservatives" genuinley are, then I wouldn't be at all ashamed to willingly adopt that label as well.
