10 a.m. Forces commence a "cordon-and-knock" operation, in which an interpreter, using a bullhorn, orders the occupants to come out. Forces receive no response.
10:10 a.m. Soldiers enter the building and are greeted with gunfire, probably from AK-47s. They determine the targets are barricaded on the second floor. Three soldiers are wounded on the stairs. A fourth soldier is wounded outside the house. Troops withdraw and request "ground quick-reaction force and heavy weaponry."
10:45 a.m. Forces launch AT-4 rockets and fire MK-19 grenade launchers and Humvee-mounted 50-caliber machine guns at the house.
11:22 a.m. The Second Brigade combat team moves in reinforcements.
11:45 a.m. Kiowa helicopters fire machine guns and rockets.
11:55 a.m. The helicopters stop firing. The commander decides to send soldiers back into the house.
12 p.m. Soldiers go in, but a firefight ensues when they try to go upstairs to the fortified part of the house. They withdraw again.
1 p.m. Forces fire 10 TOW missiles. Forces believe this attack killed three of the four people in the house. The four occupants were described as the two Hussein brothers, a teenager and a bodyguard.
1:21 p.m. Forces enter the building again. The fourth occupant shoots at them and is killed.
2 p.m. Forces secure the building and remove the bodies for identification. Senior former regime members identify the bodies of Uday and Qusay; dental records used to identify them yield a 90 percent match for Uday and a 100 percent match for Qusay.

Overkill much? The troops freaking started WWIII on a single house. Since when does it take a large-scale assault with soldiers, tons of missiles and a 10-minute helicopter raid with machine guns AND rockets on A HOUSE WITH FOUR MEN INSIDE?!
They must've been good campers.

No, I imagine the construstion there was pure cement. And I would imagine they were camping around one entrance so any soldier that came in died... but I cant imagine why they would need to shoot so many missles...
