***Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - Day 21

I'm sure he is in this country only as long as we permit. The wheels usually turn slow, faster when there is threat. The new Iraq regime will decide who to sent to represent its interests at the UN.

>A reporter on FNC yesterday said, "we can't see a flower for miles yet the Iraqi people present them to the soldiers. Where do they get them?"

BTW i think it was Oliver North that reported that.

I have no communication with Saddam....

Quick! Someone buy that man a Ouija board or at the very least put him in contact with John Edwards (the guy from Crossing Over not from Congress).

"The Game is Over. The War is Over. I have no communication with Saddam or Iraq."

Alan Keyes was US ambassador to the United Nations Social and Economic Council
US ambassador to the UN now is John Negroponte

These folks are not in a position to surrender their country to anybody!

Jonah Goldberg (NRO) has a truly wicked sense of irony:
________________________________________________________

Iraqis are cheering in the streets.

The Minister of Information is dressed like a woman in the back of a chicken truck barrelling for the Syrian border, explaining to the flock that the infidel invaders are being slaughtered in the desert.

Jacques Chirac snorted his cafe au lait through his nose when he turned on CNN this morning. He turned to al Jazeera, but there were still Iraqis dancing in the streets.

Janeane Garafolo is shopping for knee pads because she promised to crawl on broken glass to Fox News and apologize if this happened. She'll weasel out, but that's okay because Iraqis are beating statues of Saddam with their shoes.

The wobbly hawks like Josh Marshall are wondering why they switched teams in the third quarter. Maureen Dowd still doesn't get it, but it takes more than a war to make her understand. But that's okay because kids have been released from the Tyke Gulag -- and the gang at the Nation need to come up with a reason why that's a bad thing.

Antiwar protestors are circling their picnic blankets and fingering the dregs of their trail mix bags, wondering what to do next like dogs whose food bowl's been moved. They'll figure something out, alas. But they'll have to explain how sanctions and inspections would have resulted in Iraqis cheering in the streets.

The war isn't over, of course. Our troops who've made us all so proud are still in harms way. Tikrit must be deloused. Weapons must be found. And the really hard work of making Iraq a decent country must still get underway. But you can't take away from the fact that today is a very good day.

I am awaiting Diogenesis' GOTTA SEE for today. I'll bet they well be something!

Don't forget Kofi.

But once there's a new government/administration in place, THEY'LL pick their own UN ambassador to the UN.

(hint: it won't be Combover)

I just can't get enough of that FOX news footage of the Iraqis celebrating. I can't wait to see the headlines tomorrow!

WOW! That footage of the Iraqi ambasador is too good!

When does he put those thread up?

No particular schedule. He has been doing about 1 a day for the last week or so. Occasionally, he'd get 2 up in a day. I'm on his ping list but he usually puts them in "breaking news" as well.

Wouldn't you LOVE to be able to write like that...on the run!

Would you ping this thread when it goes up, please?
