Hearing no opposition, methinks we have a new quote of a day...

"It's a giant pinata. And inside is FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!" - aloysius89

They are absolutely imploding over at DU.

Good. They need a lot of time to practice to get ready for the hit they're going to take on November 2, 2004.

[Mr. Silverback]

I'm not exactly a Russert fan, but if all liberals were like him, this country would be a much better place.

For all our Christian brothers and sisters in Iraq--

Isaiah 49:25:

"This is what the Lord says: 'Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you, and your children I will save.

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.

Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.'"

[aloysius89]

In my head I'm hearing Richie Havens singing, "Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom."

When I studied these this morning, I thought how appropriate for the end of Saddam's reign and the joy that comes with the victory of good over evil.

CNBC: Al Jazeera reporter who has been quite critical of the US had a total bandwagon jump, saying this kind of change is needed in other countries.

BRIT HUME: "I do not believe those Iraqi citizens were dancing on that statue because they suddenly have renewed hope about a resolution to the Palestinian problem."

GOLD! Thank God for Brit Hume.

not to mention their credibility to other dictators who thought they would be secure with France as their friend.
