I nominate that big powerlifter in the grey tank-top (who took the sledgehammer to the statue originally) as the new President of Iraq.

From the great State of Illinois, the Land of Lincoln, home to fruited plains and amber waves of grain under spacious skies, home of not just Lincoln but Grant and Reagan, I second that nomination!

Most of the people in Iraq are Shi'ite.

Of course, being a journalist, Richard probably doesn't know that.

That's funny, I've been watching BBC this whole time, I saw the tanks roll into the square...

There's more than one "BBC."

I am proud of the UK, Australia, and Poland who stood in the face of heavy opposition, even in their own countries, and stood with us and did what's right. And a big "F You" to France.

That's because they're talking about BBC television.

Ah, then I wouldn't know what they were talking about. ;-) I made an especial deal with the IT people here to let me get streaming video for today, but I don't have to ask anyone to receive shortwave broadcasts in my cubicle...

I made the same mistake until I thought about what I was singing and realized the error.

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Simon Marks is in denial. David Asman trying to set him straight.

I'm sooo glad I could be here with y'all to witness this moment of righteousness. FreeRepublic rocks. USA USA USA Praise God for our troops and President Bush and all who love freedom.

Ditto that for me. So glad I had some "family" to share this whole experience with.

I paid a visit to DU yesterday (linked to Jonah Goldberg's thread posted at The Corner about advertisements for a college speech being pulled down by a DU-er)...my goodness, what a bunch of foul-mouthed folks!!! And that's just for starters.
