The problem with surrendering ragheads is that they do not surrender their f*****-*p beliefs, but only surrender to live, and fight another day.

Eye-opening, as always, Diogenesis.

Many more pictures of surrendering Iraqis than I've seen on TV. Thanks.

In Baghdad, Saddam's complex in central Baghdad.

(legally protected parody of Randy Newman's "Political Science")

"Boom goes London Saddam and boom Par-ee!
More room for you and more room for me!
...
They don't like us
So let's suprise 'em...
Let's drop some big 'uns now!"

(I'm sure doug_from_upland has done much more justice to this old song)

The guy on the right looks like he was taken prisoner by the rest of the unit. Maybe he didn't want to fight.

The guy on the right looks like he may be unit commander -- older and well fed.
