Get the lights...this is gonna take awhile. I sit in amazement.

[Timesink]

Everyone on the NYSE is watching TV instead of trading!

[Chemist_Geek]

Exactly. I can hear the grandfathers telling the stories now.

"We couldn't do anything. Saddam's thugs were everywhere. Then the Americans came..."

[BunnySlippers]

Shots of the New York Stock Exhange. Everyone is watching TV.

[Norman Arbuthnot]

This is about to be awesome!

You got that right. This scene is comparable to the Berlin Wall being taken down....amazing.

[Poser]

I'm here. I'm going to Hooters for lunch with some friends. I believe we will be celebrating.

I hope they can get this statue down before I have to go.

[Cboldt]

Someone better get Poser up, we may hit 7000 before noon.

Yesterday he said his collection is complete. I hope he has tape running.

summary
big statue...small men has been turned into small statue Big Men.

I'm 45 and I've never heard the term wanker. I must be leading a pretty sheltered life up here in Minnesota!!

Probably sounds different from the spelling, up there in Minnesota. Try saying it with the skoovie accent....

[najida]

Keep us posted on DUh......They are soooo funny (without tryin' even).

[Timeout]

Do a search on your comments. I did a ping to "all" when tanks entered the circle...about 90 minutes ago.

[Queen of Excelsior]

Anyone know where the Russian Embassy is?

[Severa]

I was wondering why the stocks were slightly down *L* That explains it.

[hawkaw]

Beeb reporting that Saddam may be at the Russian Embassy... Unconfirmed

Interesting. Very interesting. It would be the safest place for him. If this is true the politics that will go into motion will be very interesting to watch.

The Russian will likely have to put extra guards and troops around teir place to ensure angry Iraqis don't get him.

[GirlShortstop]

Sharing the Joy!

[Herodotus]

they've got the sledgehammer on top of the statue now...they're going to break it's baase from above.

All your bases belong to us.

[TomGuy]

good feed NTV, realplayer

[Anamensis]

It'll be a DARN SHAME if they get to Rachel Corrie a couple of them before our troops find out.

If they do I think we should do our imitation of the UN: stand back and watch, and when it's over, shake our heads sadly and say we will not stand for this sort of behavior, and then vote to agree that we think that was just terrible.

[Prince Charles]

He's just climbed atop the pedestal... he looks like he could probably push it over himself!

[wolf6656]

What I will miss from this is the sun comingk up and the birds, and someone out walking their dog. All those hours spent watching this cam.
