According to MSNBC, here are some stats re: the firefight that killed Odai and Qusai Hussein:

"The brothers were killed in a six-hour gunbattle with about 200 U.S. troops on Tuesday."

"10 TOW anti-tank missiles fired from Humvees had silenced most of the resistance, apparently killing three of the four suspects."

200 soldiers!
Launching missiles!
At 4 men!
Who only had machine guns!
For six hours!
10 anti-tank missiles needed to kill three men, one of whom was a 14 year old boy!

Rambo appears to have lied to us. That or Stallone is the greatest fighting force this country's got.
