I'm at work watching on the msnbc cam. I'm not sure what cnn has.

[mewzilla]

YEEE HAW! They've got a rope!

[Lauratealeaf]

Hope those Iraqis don't hurt themselves trying to take that statue down. So Baghdad Bob didn't show up?

[dsmtoday]

dude has a ladder on the back, he's scaling it - precarious!

[wolf6656]

Tie the rope to a tank that would be the most fittikng

[steveegg]

I hope the crowds don't misjudge how far down the statue's falling; it looks to be about 25 feet in the air, then another 25 feet tall.

[Carolinamom]

"Older" woman here! My cup runneth over.....don't ask w/what! LOL

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

There will be some questions asked of the UN, I believe. (^;

Hey, UN: this is how you keep the PEACE.

FN: The neighborhoods where the celebrations are breaking out are the neighborhoods where there is a large military presence.

Thanks for posting that list of links to web cams, etc. I've had little success finding much that works on my own. Can't wait to try some at the office.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Ropes going around his shoulder!

(Still think they need a bigger ladder ....)

[no-s]

BOREGASM

How cute. I wonder if someone has a list of tank names. I feel sorry about poor COJONE EH, they keep showing it progressively more wrecked each day, like an abandoned car being slowly recycled on the long island expressway....

[Conan the Librarian]

Those people got a rope!!! They have a Rope! The statue is not long for this world!!!!!

[mhking]

This reminds me so much of the downing of the Berlin Wall that it's not funny!!!!

[rrrod]

hey all, in order to have free and fair elections we need to ban democRATS from iraq!
