OMG, you've got to be kidding. Good thing you used a source to tell it. I don't know that I would have believed you otherwise ; ) And please note, it does not describe the design. So it could be swords. No mention of a statue, but perhaps it's not due to come thru until the next piggy back delivery.
This author is on to something, though. Maybe Murtha could "return" the arch. He could donate it to that area in Iraq opposite where the sword arch is located. It could be painted like a rainbow named the Hope and Promise of Freedom Rainbow.
