How Symbolic!!! US flag placed over statues face only for a moment, then removed and handed to an Iraqi helping to reset the rope. Iraqi hands US flag to a marine lower down. Now they pass up an old (pre-saddam) Iraqi flag and hang on statue!!!!

THIS IS [] AWESOME!!!

All those joyous Iraqis cheering. Trying to pull down this 50 foot tall stature of Saddam. Swarming happily around US tanks.

I tell you it's a quagmire. We are losing this war. The Iraqis hate us.

Right?

God Bless America and the Iraqi people and a free Iraq.

I have never seen the Today show until this morning, and the blatant bias is absolutely mouth-dropping. Anyway, Katie Couric about had a fit about the erection of the American flag, and she made a point to let us know when and why it had to come down.

I hate to see the American Flag soiled. Glad they took it off his ugly head.

And just as quickly, the ABC news radio person said "well, we don't want to appear as conquerors, perhaps the flag display is not the best thing we could be doing.." Is anyone else sick of that $hit?

Not a peep from the reporters of pride in what American military might and blood has accomplished in 3 weeks, or even a hint of pride in their voices, or a tear in their eyes. This is the "4th of July" for Iraq and our reporters are afraid we'll offend someone by displaying our flag.

Ya gotta admit though, nobody puts up American flags with as much style as United States Marines.
