NOW, OUR GOD, WE GIVE YOU THANKS AND PRAISE YOUR GLORIOUS NAME.

1 Chronicles, 29:13

Iraqi flag coming up!!!!

[dfwgator]

Now if it were the UN flag, then I'd be bitching.

[MEG33]

Now I worry about who is going to be crushed by Saddam.!

[Timeout]

Common sense travels fast.

That Marine made a helluva statement with that flag...short but oh-so-full of meaning! that picture will be in history books!

[prairiebreeze]

Christiana Amanpour bitch

Eyup.

Prairie

[fml]

Peter Arnett????

[dsw]

Does not matter, we want to be humble. We are here to help the Iraqis. Flag is s symbol of conquest.

[Air Force Born]

Thank You very much

[Mo1]

MSNBC is deploring the placement of the flag...typical.

Maybe MSNBC needs to learn that the American Flag is a SIGN OF FREEDOM!!!

And now the Free Iraqi Flag will fly

[GOPyouth]

That photo will be as important to me as the firemen raising the flag and ground zero.

[Timesink]

Reporter on CNN (not Zahn) totally mischaraterizes the "Go Home HUman Shields : US Wankers" sign, as being "go home US" sentiment. CNN wankers.

Then WHY ARE THEY SMILING!?

Spin spin spin, CNN! It'll do you no good!

Isaiah 51:4:

Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation The law will go out from me; My justice will become a light to the nations.

[abner]

It's a beautiful flag!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah ... But the crowd at the scene (the ones we're doing this for!) DID LOVE IT.

So, I guess that makes up for the criticism of/by the MSNBC.

This isn't a scripted movie or staged press briefing rehearsed for days ahead of time with polls and focus groups; it's live.

So we have to accept what people do live.

That said: You're RIGHT!

Get the IRAQI'S a stronger rope, longer rope and let them do it! They won't need a M-88, but the crame would help.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Iraqi people abandoning their cars to be in the square to see the statue come down..cars in the street...at least 4 lanes deep.

[LauraJean]

The trouble with shaving is that these people would consider it a badge of honor I say give them ''big hair'' and make them wear a pretty dress and heels. That would really freak them out.

[Spunky]

You and me both. I sure hope they are able to get all the people out of the way.

[dsw]

Wont be in history books, we are not conquoring Iraq, Flag is symbol of conquest. We want to liberate iraq. No US flags except waved by Iraqis or on US equip or uniforms. Iraq flag on Statue. FANTASTIC!!!!

[Anamensis]

Iraqi flag on statue!!
