Statue just pulled down by armored vehicle! Iraqis dancing on the statue of Saddam! Praise be to God for the blessings he has bestowed on the U.S. and for liberating the Iraqi people!

According to FOX news, even Al Jizz-smeara is playing this straight in the region.

I wonder how they are going to explain how it went from a "Hollywood movie" to cheering Iraqi's in central Baghdad in less than 12 hours?

What a great picture. Al Gore would have been frozen with indecision as to what to do.

Maybe some enterprising liberal Iraqis will introduce affirmative action regulations for pulling over statues.

How American!

You're not looking good enough. There are women all over the place.

An Iraqi man puts flowers on the head of a US Marine in Saddam City in eastern

Are these caption writers retarded or what? The Iraqi man is at least 5 or 6 feet away from the US Marine in the photo.
