A year later we know where Iraq and Baghdad Bob are located. Thanks to our brave and courageous Troops, the world is safer for all of us. Thanks to our Allies for their continued support. We pray that you stay the course. Our music dedication is mixed with some "nostalgic" reminders of the past year. Please mouse over the icons to see our selections for today. As always, don't forget that you can request songs on the thread, or by emailing us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com . Thank you!! Enjoy the selections! (Special thanks go out to Auntie Fawnn and Queenie (bentfeather) for their contributions to this thread! Thanks Divas!!)

One Year Later of Shock and Awe

We saw the murderous dictator fall
we cheered, we sang
with glad refrain
as the statue of Saddam the
madman, Hussein toppled

by Iraqi people whom he
oppressed and tortured
gassed his own people
maimed little children
with no compassion or mercy

From palace to palace he¹d run
hide with those bloody
thug sons by his side
until the day they met the
business end of a soldiers gun
that ended their ³fun.²

Evil spawn of evil he...
found living in a spider hole
that describes the end
of his reign and his
people will determine
his plight - not his way
sneaking around at night
filling the people with fear
oh no, he will get to hear
the charges of his murderous crimes
and stand before the judges of his kind
spend the rest of his miserable life on earth
in better conditions than he meted out...

Freedom lives now for Iraqi people
conditions improve with a helping hand
from nations across the worlds¹ lands

They are learning to trust again
and smile, study in schools,
work for their livelihood
unhindered by the bloody dictator Hussein
Iraqi people are free to be...

"A 5,000-gallon tank has exploded at Marathon Ashland Petroleum ... Cincinnati"

I worked for Marathon Oil Co. general office (in Findlay) years ago.

Anyone have word on what they're reporting as the cause of the explosion?
