IT AIN'T THREE OF A KIND, BUT THIS PAIR WILL DO JUST FINE.

And while the internet stories still say "were believed to have been killed", NPR news at 2:00 EDT reported that the deaths have been confirmed.

MOSUL, Iraq (AP) - Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai were believed to have been killed Tuesday in a firefight with U.S. forces at the home of a cousin, a senior U.S. official said. Two other Iraqis also were killed. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators were "awaiting positive DNA testing" to confirm the identities.

The battle took place in this northern city, where residents told an Associated Press Television News cameraman that American soldiers had come to the house looking for Saddam's elder sons.

Members of the 101st Airborne Division had surrounded the house when the fighting broke out. The stone, columned building was left charred and smoldering, its high facade riddled with gaping holes from bullets and heavy weaponry. Kiowa helicopters roamed the sky. Some Iraqi civilians in Mosul appeared to have been caught in the crossfire. It was not known how many people were injured, but several were taken to a hospital.

Go, you Screamin' Eagles.

Folks, if our methods and intelligence are good enough to find these two, well, its only a matter of time before we get the Butcher of Baghdad himself.

Hallejujah!
