Whoah! Rounds fired; crowd scattering!

Hope it's salutes or potshots at a Saddamned poster!

Reporter got a little nervous, eh?

Potential for a round coming in from a die-hard, we suppose - last gesture of defiance from a dying dictatorship.

Could happen; hope not. An RPG or mortar round could do a job on that crowd.

Fingers crossed. Rope a no-go; cable nix; here we go with the chain, or ... what?

OH! They've got the boom up! Whooo-hah!

So we brought "statue removal" equipment to the battle.

Now that's planning ahead.
