I could imagine Jockstrap Chiraque right now..."we need more inspections starting tomorrow!!"

[Bikers4Bush]

Not the whole thing.....just the head!

One guy was actually riding on it for a little bit.

Did anyone just hear the female reporter on NBC/MSNBC ask the quesiton: "Will the display of the American flag take away from the image that we are helping the Iraqi people?"

Even in victory the liberals are anti-American.

Tom Dash-hole is deeply saddened by the Iraqi people's failure at diplomacy.

And on Fox!

Watching the statue fall I had a sudden flash that it also represents the Democratic Party.

John Seigenthaler said that the noose was now tighting around Saddam's neck just like President's Bush said! Then MSNBC went silent with their anchors and allowed the scene to speak for itself.

What a moment after all of this to see the head being pulled around the square by Iraqi's!

A U.S. Marine covers the face of a statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein with a U.S. flag in Baghdad on April 9, 2003. Jubilant Iraqis tied a noose around a huge statue of Saddam Hussein in the heart of Baghdad and pelted it with shoes as the Iraqi president's 24-year rule collapsed in chaos. In scenes reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, crowds cheered as men climbed the huge statue of Saddam in the center of Baghdad and placed the rope around the neck in preparation to topple it.

Bravo Zulu, Devildogs!

[sharktrager]

This is great news, but we have got a seperate post for everything that's happened to the statue. Kind of overkill.

[muleskinner]

ALL YOUR STATUES ARE BELONG TO US!

[CounterCounterCulture]

This can't be! Hussein was "elected" with 100% approval (and Bush is an "illegitimate president"). The leftists told me so! < /SARCASM >

Seriously though, cool images!

Pretty soon they'll be dragging his carcass down the street, and they won't be crying!

[Conservative til I die]

On a different note, did anyone catch on CNN about two hours ago, two hippies being removed from some building in the square, and gesturing angrily and yelling at the troops? I gotta think they were Westerner human shields because the guy had on your typical college kid clothes and his hair was in dreadlocks (he was white though), which I'm assuming is not a big style amongst Iraqi men. It was hard to tell, as CNN had four camera shots going at the same time so the image was only a quarter of the screen, but these people just don't get it. At the same time I'm watching Iraqis draggins Saddam's statue thru the streets and celebrating.

WHo do these hippies think they're helping? The troops don't want their help, the Iraqi people don't. It's just their own sense of ego that keeps them there.

More images of "Saddam" being toppled...

The last I saw of the statue, Saddam's head was being dragged through the streets... someone was riding the head "hobby horse" while pumping his fist in the air. LOL
