Somebody please forward this to Streisand, Sheen, Daschle, Mrs. Clintoon, Kerry and all the other leftist creeps who wanted to keep Saddam in power.

Elsewhere, an Iraqi waving a rifle yelled: "We are Americans, we are USA."

A singularly stupid thing to do.

Iraqis are now trying to pull down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad's main square.

To all Iraqis: We hear you, we are with you, let freedom Ring! This is history in the making.

[Right Wing Professor]

Damn, I know it's part and parcel of being a conservative, but I never get tired of finding myself on the right side of history yet again.

I will say, however, that waving a rifle in the air is safer than shooting it into the air.

I'm sure Ed Assner wants us to give up right now "for the children".

Even Reuters isn't trying to suppress the truth. Nary a snarl.

It's going to be a very bad hair for liberals.

Keep the faith, bro... You can say it again and again...

Even Reuters isn't trying to suppress the truth. Nary a snarl.

Does anyone else wonder if *any* of the news agencies and stations would be covering this accurately if Fox weren't out there showing us what is REALLY happening?

>>Invasion forces have yet to find any banned chemical or biological arms, a key justification for the war. Saddam's government denied possessing them. <<

Does anyone really care whether WMDs are found? The Bush administration had many justifiable reasons for this war, irrespective of banned weapons.

[Scarlet_Pimpernil]

This is the best evidence yet that Saddam and a major contingent of leadership were eliminated.

[demnomo]

I'm suprised that the journalists got over their hissy fit about three of their own being killed yesterday in a WAR ZONE to write this. I'm sure more than a few reporters are combing the streets of Baghdad frantically looking for Iraqis who will publically condemn the US for its evil and say that things were peachy keen under the Ba'thist regime. (Oh, and another quote from some disgruntled and out-of-power Ba'athist praising Saddam, while calling Bush Hitler...)

Reuters Television crews watched cheering crowds sack U.N. headquarters in the Canal Hotel and drive off in U.N. cars. The building had housed U.N. aid workers as well as arms inspectors, who were withdrawn shortly before the war began on March 20.

At last, this equipment is being put to good use.

CBS has abruptly cut away and is showing the film "Heidi".

Somebody please forward this to Streisand, Sheen, Daschle, Mrs. Clintoon, Kerry and all the other leftist creeps who wanted to keep Saddam in power

And tell them "NOT IN YOUR NAME!"

On NBC Tom Brokaw an Katie Couric were side-by-each at the desk reporting on the freedom of Iraq this morning. Tom informed the viewers and Katie that he had to "bail out and go to a studio across the street".
Katie responded, "was it something I said?"
Tom replies, "where do I begin."
Katie "ouch"
