I'd be happy the give the actual Statue of Liberty to the Iraqis. There's no point in keeping her around since the French have dishonored her so badly.

...for more 'quagmires' like this one. No sign of the BBC, Al Jazeera, or the NYT of course.... they're scarcer on this story than the rest of Saddam's press-minders were this morning at the Palestine Hotel!

You are one of those people who needs a "laugh" sign when they go to the movies, so they know what parts of the movie they are supposed to think are funny, aren't you?

I would say that we both need to add the "sarcasm" tag to our posts.

"The general got shot yesterday and they quit."

Three guesses how that happened. LOL.

Bump to you.

Note to liberal lurkers: Under the direction and resolve of President GW Bush Coalition forces liberated Baghdad in 3 weeks. What have you done?

"There is no enemy," Grunwald said. "The general got shot yesterday and they quit."

American airstrikes on the tank division outside town had killed or wounded its general and persuaded the soldiers to desert. About the same time, the townspeople apparently had thrown out the ruling Baath party officials.

Praise the Lord!
