Very nice photo. Proof that Islam does not mean anti-American -- and as for those who are violently anti-American -- well, they can go pound sand.

As I understand it, those who aren't at room temperature are running for their lives.

I wonder where that flag came from? I doubt that little American flags are available at the local market. Were they brought in by American psych-ops to be distributed for the photo op?

Thank you. I've cut the picture out and pasted it on the wall here at the Hollywood studio where I work for my liberal anti-war colleagues to feast their eyes upon.

You will not see this photo in any of the liberal rags, We subscribe (unfortunately) to the SF Chronicle. Since the wars beginning they, almost without exception, have had on the front page of the first section a big photo of the war depicting USA forces in a negative light. These pictures have included injured Iraqi children, Iraqi's cowering in fear, an Iraqi civilian being operated on etc. Knowing how liberal the paper is I am sure this is a concerted effort by the editors to make our forces look cruel and brutal.

That's a beaut! I like this one too:

Royal Marine Stuart Lawley stands in a corridor of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's
palace at Basra in southern Iraq, April 7, 2003. British paratroopers guarded by tanks
and helicopter gunships walked unopposed into the center of Iraq's second city,
meeting a warm reception in the narrow streets of the old quarter. (Pool via Reuters)
