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.

maybe b/c it is the truth. This isn't about us, it is about liberating Iraq. Our flag has no business flying anywhere in Iraq.

I was glad to see them take Old Glory off of Saddam's head, but not for that reason. When they pulled the statue down, I did not want to see our flag being pulled down with him.
