Guess I cheated a little in the posting of blogger stories injecting myself as author. But, I knew this story would be tossed out by FR, under posting guidelines; as bloggers are not able to be a Source URL. It has happened to me before. I wanted to pass on these Iraqi bloggers and hope Freepers enjoy reading first hand what Iraqi bloggers have to say on Iraq after the liberation.

The end, I believe, justifies my means. Enjoy!

Thank you for posting this precious thread. What joy we can read. I doubt it will ever appear in the mainstream news, which makes it all the more valuable.

Just as we expected, he was dragged out of a narrow cellar close to a small mudhut near his former stronghold in Tikirit. The timing was a surprise to Iraqis. I was beginning to doubt that he would be captured at all.

Yesterday afternoon I was still asleep when I sensed a commotion in the house, there was gunfire outside. I was a bit reluctant to get up and check since there was no power. Nabil stormed into my room shouting hysterically "They caught Saddam! They caught Saddam!". "Yeah Sure" I responded and covered my head with the blanket. I slept for another hour but the increasing gunfire and excited voices made it difficult. I got up and went out in the street, everything looked normal. I stumbled to my grandmother's house where everyone was huddled in front of the tv watching Al-Jazeera. The news were still uncomfirmed, so we waited impatiently for Bremer's press conference. When he announced "We got him" everyone in the room cheered out loud. The following video of Saddam in his long hair and beard was a shock to us all. My grandmother burst in tears.

Ah, thank you. I read most of these every day and I really enjoy them. You've also given me a few new ones I didn't know existed.

Thanks for the post.

I loved them! Maybe you cheated, I don't know since I never post threads, but if you did, I am happy I got to read them before they are tossed!

A blogger is not considered a source FR likes posted in the URL source: thus, I went in the back door and posted the credits within the story to the links and authors used.
I thought these stories deserved a place on FR. Thanks for reading them.

Take that, democrats!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Many show their distaste for bloggers; but I find them more grass roots when you want more..some very good bloggers out there. I invited the dentist to author in FR.
Perhaps he will respond.

"Before this, I prayed the traditional prayers of thanksgiving. That I, and the Iraqi people should see this day! This, surely, is the mother of all days for us. The heroes of our valiant Pesh Mergas, and the heroes of the U.S. Fourth division have done it. Now is the time to unleash the Iraqi Counter Terror; now is the time to go for the kill. Let us go after them. Don’t lose this moment. They want to recant and live in equality with the people? they have a chance - otherwise they will have to go....
