BUMP FOR IRAQIS DANCING IN THE STREET
------ STOP BUMPING WHEN FULLY REPORTED BY THE "OLD MEDIA"

Freed Iraqis Dancing in the Street

[trebb]

[P8riot]

Thanks again for you're photo essays. I look forward to them every day.

[Fzob]

Thanks and a bump

[monafelice]

bump!

Bravo. You've done it again--- we look forward to this every day. Look at the pure joy on the youngsters' faces.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the hours of work you must put into this- love your captions, too

"STOP BUMPING WHEN FULLY REPORTED BY THE "OLD MEDIA"

That'll be a long time, good sir.

Again, what a wonderful array. The poverty in the streets contrasted against the opulence of Saddam's palaces leave me speechless. I hope that the palaces held a bunch of loot such as money and diamonds for liquidation and funding of the rebuild. It will be really interesting to see where Iraq is in 5 years--as long as the maggots and the vultures at the UN are kept at arm's length...

[TADSLOS]

It's a start. Payback's a bitch.

[Rummyfan]

Thanks Diogenesis! Great pictures!

[Bahbah]

Just WOW.

[MEG33]

Great as always. Thanks!

[EternalVigilance]

Heartfelt Joy

No Hollywood producer
That ever lived
Could ever reproduce such joy

No actor, no matter how fine
Could make their faces shine
Like these girls and boys

Though they've known fear
And darkness for years
For this moment in time
There are no more tears

[ThomasMore]

Unbelievable!

Freedom Bump!

[tubebender]

You out did yourself today. There is nothing like a still photo to capture the moment...

[TomGuy]

Why, that's Bruce Willis!

[Maigrey]

Mega Ditto Bump!

[sparkomatic]

The pic of the Iraqi civilian pushing the wheelbarrow with the blue drum cracked me up. Is this a Saddam wannabe? Getting his first drum of sarin? /sarcasm/

[MeekOneGOP]

Excellent job as always, Diogenesis ! Thanks.

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING TO SEE THESE ELSEWHERE

In Basra, Iraqis are FREE.
They are happy and dancing - except where the European and American media
are pushing antiAmerican comments and then taping it - and skipping some of these pics.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

I hope our guys got to take the Mother of All Showers
in Saddam's Palace....

Some Brits finally got a chance to shower [posted in another thread]:



British troops from 2 Platoon 1 Parachute Regiment, part of 16 Air Assault Brigade, take a break from patrolling the front line near Basra to cool down and freshen up by means of an improvised shower unit in Iraq

You'd like to see this I bet . . .
