Can you beat a pair of aces?

Well, last thing Glenn reported was that Reuters says Uday and Qusay had been located. According to CNN.com, they are confirmed to have been "killed during a dramatic four-hour battle in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul."*

Now, hopefully Saddam will be easy to locate. Surely he will attend the funeral.

[UPDATE: Ravenwood claims to have a better hand, citing Scrappleface's take on the story. Meanwhile, you can find a transcript of Donald Rumsfeld's Press Conference over at Little Tiny Lies. However, while it was likely the intent of Scrappleface and Little Tiny Lies to poke fun at the situation, the absolutely funniest thing to come out of the story is this serious statement on Counterspin Central:

I believe we have been tracking the two brothers for some time, and were waiting for an opportune moment to take them out.

You know...like when Bush's approval ratings started to get uncomfortably close to the South side of 50%.

What a damn inaniarian statement that is! I am thankful to michele** for having pointed it out.]

*From my run through the updated sites in my blogroll, it seems the blogosphere has already gotten the news.

**You must have hidden that link well. I haven't been able to locate it.

Fixing straight away.
