One channel (MSNBC or Fox) briefly showed even a better shot than that. An older man got the portrait down about waist level, thrusted his pelvis at the portrait of Saddam as if he wanted Saddam to do a Lewinski on him, and then turned and smiled at the camera. Shown only briefly and I suspect never again...

I thought he was lifting his robe and looked like he was about to pee on So-damn Insane -- before they quickly cut away. :)

After 8 years of Clinton, then seeing what President Bush has done to help millions of opressed people, makes me want to shout out: I am so proud of my country!!!

God bless the Iraqis!! God bless America!! That was the picure that broke the leftist's back.

Disclaimer: Doesn't matter who is in charge, I'll always love my country. It's just that now we can get back to business :)

LOL, I caught that also! ;-D

Do you suppose David Hasselhoff will show up to sing his "Freedom" song a.k.a. Berlin Wall?

What a treat for the Iraqis!

bttt

[Eowyn-of-Rohan]

Or Paul McCartney singing his "Freedom" would be great too--easy words for them to all sing along with :)

Earlier, before the statue came down I saw one woman walking and holding the hands of two small children. She bent down and picked one child up and took the other by the hand and kept walking. Probably some good mother who brought her kids down to the Square on V-I day.

BTW: To where has Jeneane, Martin, Susan and all the others disappeared? Garafolo needs to be brought back to O'Reilly's show and apologize...kicking and screaming if necessary.

[TheSpottedOwl]

that is so beautiful :)

[hattend]

I love that picture.

We should send plane loads of Hershey Bars over there. Or is that Winterfresh Gum?

[davisdoug]

Go Ducks! Liberate Portland next!

[hattend]

BTW: How come "My Comments" are not being updated? Anybody else having that problem?

[nutmeg]

I LOVE that picture also... that little girl is ADORABLE!

What a fabulous day to be an American! I'm SO proud of our US and Coalition troops over there!

LOL Must be tough to see the worst of everything hour after hour. At least one leftie is regaining his senses...

AWESOME TROOPS!
MAGNIFICENT PRESIDENT!

What a great picture of the soldiers. Thank you.
