Meanwhile in Jordan and other Arab states that didn't mind seeing Saddam abuse the Iraqi People...

A Jordanian man in Amman cover his face as a TV shows a statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) as it falls in Baghdad, April 9, 2003. U.S. troops pulled down a 20-foot (six meter) high statue of President Saddam Hussein in central Baghdad on Wednesday and Iraqis danced on it in contempt for the man who ruled them with an iron grip for 24 years. In scenes reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Iraqis earlier took a sledgehammer to the marble plinth under the statue of Saddam. Youths had placed a noose around the statue's neck and attached the rope to a U.S. armored recovery vehicle. REUTERS/Ali Jarekji

"That's Elian, isn't it.

Yes, that's Elian.

"I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously;
the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea!
The LORD is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father's God, and I will exalt him.
The LORD is a man of war;
the LORD is his name!

"Thy right hand, O LORD, glorious in power,
thy right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy!
In the greatness of thy majesty, thou overthrowest thine adversaries;
thou sendest forth thy fury, it consumes them like stubble!"

(Exodus 15: 1-3, 6-7)

The sword of the LORD and the USMC!

Your #26 has me crying........you make us proud, sir.

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

Don't miss the post showing the comparison of the Elian kidnapping with a GI holding an Iraqi child, with the caption "What a difference a change of Administration makes."

It's a MUST SEE for everyone on this thread.

And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.

I hope the Iraqis don't forget them. No greater love hath any man than to lay down his life for another.

Great post.

Thanks for the heads up!

Do we all holy rites;

Let there be sung 'Non nobis' and 'Te Deum;'

The dead with charity enclosed in clay:

And then to Calais; and to England then:

Where ne'er from France arrived more happy men.

Non nobis, Domine, Domine,

sed nomini tuo da gloriam,

Repetition: Non nobis, Domine, Domine,

Non nobis Domine,

Sed nomine, sed nomine,

Tuo da gloria!

[Alamo-Girl]

That is beautiful. Thank you!

[homeagain balkansvet]

Thanks. I wrote it myself. :-D
