...sounding for all the world like a spoiled little boy whose Yuletide dreams of bitter coalition carnage had been hopelessly battered when Father Christmas brought photogenic candy instead.

I continue to be astounded at the hate-filled reaction of the leftists. They couldn't care less about the Iraqi people, innocent babies, or the "shilren." This was a breathless, hopefilled opportunity for somebody to take America down a peg or two, perhaps with lots of American bodybags to ice the cake, and their sugarplum visions disintigrated literally before their eyes at the sight of jubilant Iraqis hugging and kissing soldiers, thanking the troops, and chanting praise for George Bush. No wonder they're such petulant foot-stompers today...they didn't get their way (their way=GWB humiliated, American soldiers killed with "a million Mogadishus" in the streets of Baghdad, the U.S. defeated).

Indeed, said Bob, these Iraqis were "masters of concealment," brimming with self-confidence. "

Their mastery to the contrary notwithstanding, even they couldn't conceal their trucks and weapons when they were burning in the trees and beside the road.

To Robert Fisk's jaundiced eye, this was The Worst Looting Ever!

Tut, tut. This is merely a liberal's greatest dream come true. Wealth redistribution in overdrive!

"...they cannot handle freedom, and they cannot know joy."

Precisely. The public schools work as designed.

I rescued the European Union flag – flung into a puddle of water outside the visa section

Where's his journalistic objectivity?

Things still could turn out badly as far as the Iraqi government goes

Human nature is the same the world over

These people are loving us today . Six months from now they may be asking for and demanding

THEIR FORTY ACRES AND A CAMEL

I rescued the European Union flag...
"Why in the heck would anybody bother doing that?"

Might be TP shortage.
