Hugh statue in the center of Baghdad being attacked by Iraqis.

They can have him if they want him that bad. That way we can pay the Russian mafia to take him out.

Totally awesome. I am blowing off a pile of work to see this.

HISTORY IN PROGRESS!

Re the cigarettes;

Looks like bubble gum is in good supply. Did you catch the Gyrene in the turret of his tank blowing big pink bubbles as they rolled into the square?

Ya gotta love 'em!

If those Iraqi cigs are anything like the Korean Tambeies we got over there in '68, you might be well advised to stick with the gum!

That could cause a series injury.

CNN news flash: the people of Iraq have just been liberated by America's unelected president.

[Cagey]

Shots fired in the area.

Amazing, isn't it!

better yet, catch Saddam, chain him to his own statue, and throw it in the Tigris.
