I saw this happen live on Fox and it brought a tear.

Check this out.

While we all rejoice at the "Fall of Baghdad", I can't help shed a tear for all the Kids (ie: military personnel), American & British, who died in the name of freedom without ever seeing this day. May God smile upon them, and the prayers of TWO nations help them and their families.

Yep! What a great pic and what a GREAT day for Iraq !

I bet President Bush has that picture in his e-mail inbox a bunch of times already !!

[kanawa]

Amen

[Mr. Mojo]

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 Scott Ritter. ....The guy who said we'd be leaving Iraq "with our tail between our legs." ...LOLOLOLOLOL.

Elsewhere, an Iraqi waving a rifle yelled: "We are Americans, we are USA." Another screamed: "Thank you Mr Bush."

When told of this, Senator Tom Daschle replied,"They can't vote, can they?"

This one didn't give me quite the same reaction ...

... 4th of july !

[wayoverontheright]

At some point, one of W's post war speeches should include...."this war was waged in the name of freedom, in the name of free people everywhere.....except a few who wished their names not to be associated with this war....."

Heheheheheh!!!

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 The building had housed U.N. aid workers as well as arms inspectors, who were withdrawn shortly before the war began on March 20.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.

Hopefully, they're burning the UN flags and removing the UN lettering from the vehicles.

Amazing how the Amurikkkans (as we are called over at DU) are able to stage these types of outpourings of support in so many neighborhoods.

That wasn't exactly a thanks for liberating me kiss.

FYI: I've only heard a blurb on the radio but apparently, some "activists" decorated Tampa International Airport in yellow ribbons. Thought you'd like to know. Maybe somebody here knows more than I do at this point.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks. bttt. . .

And the soldier seems to be enjoying it (GASP!!!). Hopefully she will wear the badge of shame when she returns to her convent.

Message to Iraqis: do not kiss the attractive female soldiers who, like angels from heaven, have recently delivered you from hell on earth. There is a limit to what proper, God-fearing, hypercritical American internet typists will put up with!

[Melinator]

How dare he kiss her on the chin strap! Where I come from, proper gentlemen never buss a woman on the chin strap!
