I flipped over from Fox to NBC briefly as we waited for the statue to come down. It's the first time I've watched anything but Fox since the first week of this war. Instead of enjoying the scene of these people experiencing the greatest moment in their lives, Brokejaw brought up the Middle East situation and they talked about that for the remainder of the time. Katie had to ask why the Bush Administration has erred in waiting so long to engage in that region, and some chick from London Weekly, or some some such mag, was in Iraq talking about people crying because they thought the Americans were there to kill them....She talked about the great fear down around the statue about the Americans occupation.
Sorry, but I am not turning that station on again for a long time to come. This is a moment that once again shows how truely fortunate we are to live in this nation, and that our great leaders and our military have done so much to spread freedom to nations around the world. There is truly nothing that compares to watching these people this morning experience freedom for the first time.

I flipped briefly to MSNBC or NBC and heard Timmy "Potato Face" Russert spewing similar anti-Bush venom. Unbelievable... can you imagine if their boy algore was in office and this happened???
Back to Fox News... as the statue toppled and the people cheered, Brit Hume said "I wonder what 'ol Jacques Villepin is saying NOW!" LOL

In your channel hopping, I hope you didn't miss Britt Hume's comment as the statue began to come down. He said, "At this moment, one woulld have to say that this is Saddam finally waving goodbye."
