FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT REGARDING OPERATION IN MOSUL, IRAQ
Statement from US Central Command:
On Tuesday, July 22, forces associated with the 101st Airborne Division and Special Operations Forces conducted an operation against suspected regime figures at a residence in Mosul, Iraq. The site is currently being exploited. Four Iraqis were killed in the operation. We have confirmed that two of the dead were Saddam’s sons Uday and Qusay.
Now who will be the first to continue to call the current operations going on in Iraq a quagmire? All I have to say is, HAHAHA. After they announced the death of Uday and Qusay, I heard a Democrat spokesperson bring up the possible that this will hurt the President's credibility because this occurred on the same day that Private Lynch returned home.
WHAT? Do they believe that the President is such an evil genius that he could orchestrate these two events to coincide?
The one thing I did find interesting is the fact that 200 members of the 101st Airborne and Task force 20 took four hours to get four people in a house. I suspect that more people may have been involved and the results of this operation may lead to bigger things.
