Liberal and leftist reaction to the deaths of Saddam's sons
As one might expect, the reaction ranges from "it isn't important" to "it's a bad thing."
Typical of "it isn't important" is Oxblog:
SADDAM AT LARGE, QUAGMIRE DEEPENS: After a fierce gun battle in the northern city of Mosul, the US Army has confirmed the death of Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay.
Four American soldiers were injured in the battle, raising the already steep cost of the occupation in human terms. More importantly, Saddam himself was neither killed nor apprehended.
Further attacks on American soldiers are expected in coming days. Last week, high-ranking generals in the US Army acknowledged that the US is engaged in "classical guerrilla warfare" with Ba'athist forces. The conflict has already done serious damage to the morale of American soldiers in Iraq and forced the American public to confront unpleasant memories of prolonged guerilla warfare in Vietnam.
At first I thought it was a joke, but I think this guy is serious.
I don't have a transcript yet, but Rep. Charlie Rangel apparently objected to our killing these bastards on "Hannity and Colmes" today. This was too much even for Colmes. Of course, Rangel is a leftist psycho, so this might be expected. Will try and get written confirmation when available.
And of course, what would a good "Piss In America's Oatmeal" session be without the ever-loving Robert Fisk. Fisk's mind has apparently left him completely:
...Much more importantly, many Iraqis were reluctant to support the resistance for fear that an end to American occupation would mean the return of the ghastly old dictator.
If he and his sons are dead, the chances are that the opposition to the American-led occupation will grow rather than diminish - on the grounds that with Saddam gone, Iraqis will have nothing to lose by fighting the Americans.
Okay, Robert. Whatever you say...
