Stay vigilant. The fight's not over but we're gaining ground and getting support from the people of the Middle East.

Vice-President Cheney now on FNC.

Attention!
Our troops give so much of themselves, and we all benefit from their efforts.

The next time you look at your bank balance, why not find some way to take some money and put it towards supporting the members of our armed services in some way? Maybe find a family who has someone serving, and buy them dinner, or some groceries, or a gift for their children? Maybe find a way to contribute to a fund for the memory of any of those who have fallen? Our armed forces deserve our support in tangible ways.

Very reminiscent of when the Berlin Wall came down.

The CBS radio news just played a story from one of the northern cities and the din from the jubilation can only be described as deafening. Really thrilling.

I'm scared to death something disasterous is going to spoil this beautiful moment.

Statue hurts someone, sniper fire, etc.

Dear Lord, protect these moments. An American M88 pulls down Saddam. Incredible.

God bless The US. God Bless Iraq.

What's everyone celebrating?

Isn't it obvious that the plan has failed and the tanks have bogged down in the center of Baghdad?

They only removed Saddam's statue to clear the way for the new statue of Wesley Clark.

</sarcasm>

Pics here:

Nope, we need a stronger rope. If we only had a REALLY big truck....

Why sure, folks- we'd be glad to lend you a hand...

Now THIS is a man enjoying his job! [Staff Sgt.

But he REALLY needs a new necklace.... [Cpl. Edward Chin, from New York, of the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines Regiment, set up an Iraqi flag around the neck of a statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) before it was torn down in Bagdad, Wednesday, April 9, 2003.

Oh yeah! An EXCELLENT start!

And the crowd goes wild!

Whoops! Down you go!

Going...

going...

going...

Help! I've fallen, and I can't get up!

Gone!

Yeah, it IS a good day for their country- a new beginning.

Hey, this is fun! Let's set the statue back up, and do it again!

Nah, nevermind, let's don't... ding, dong, the witch is dead!

Today, in Baghdad, we have seen the benefit of a government that stands for freedom and insists on compliance with international law.

Despite the socialists playing fear tactics for the past two years, the US military and coalition forces have taken strides to end tyranny and the threat of Middle East terrorism.

There is a massive difference between the weakness and heartlessness of the socialist left (who imprisoned American families in Manzanar and other camps) versus freedom-loving conservatives (who attempted to remove those Americans from those camps).

The liberals at the New York and LA Times (which continue to back socialist agendas) need to rethink their policies.

These are the faces of those who would have been commited to a life of shackles and pain.

These are the faces of those who have been freed from tyranny, violence, and hopelessness.

These are the faces of those who liberated them.

While the liberal media attempts to limit freedom of speech, the reality is clear.

Their ilk protects those who have definitely stripped our families of freedom, rights (like to bear arms and assemble), and liberties to create.

It is time that we stand on the side of those who refuse to permit domination of our nation by any force.

We will meet force with force when appropriate.

That is the way we protect our nation and our futures.

God bless our troops and God bless the President of the United States!



FREEDOM IS GOOD!
