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.." 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.

The Marines did a classy thing. They took the stars and stripes and placed in the face of Hussein. They removed the stars and stripes and then took the Iraqi flag and placed it below his face. They then removed the Iraqi flag before pulling down the statue of Hussein. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT! Semper Fi
