"HA-haaa..."

[nmh]

Someone needs to alert CNN and the rest of the biased mainstream media that his death is a meaningful RELIEF and people are HAPPY that HE is dead.

I can't stomach much more of the minimizing of this victory.

How many people die in Iraq every year from falling bullets?

[Saiko]

Actually the show "Myth Busters" did a segment on that and came to the conclusion that a tumbling bullet from the sky does not have enough force to do any significant damage.

How many people die in Iraq every year from falling bullets?

I was wondering that, too. Maybe they could just yell and jump up and down - might be less dangerous.

Thanks for the heads-up - lots of good photos.

2 things struck me about them:
1. Pictures of the Iraqi soldiers and police setting up checkpoints and providing security in Baghdad. We don't see enough of those pictures.
2. The photos of Baghdad with the traffic ban. Looks like a really good idea.

I have read at least 5 articles about people in southern California who were killed by bullets that fell to earth after being fired, mostly by Mexican immigrants who like to do that on New Years eve.

And those do look like hair plugs.

LOL - I was thinking the same thing - Vain, and stupid. Terror leader who couldn't even operate a machine gun!...

[maine-iac7]

Urban camos I guess. But most things over there seem to be sand colored.

I"M guessing we supplied the uniforms - and may have chosen a color that would make it easy for our troops to differentiate?

[Seaplaner]

Yes, my friends, the Iraqis are justifiably celebrating.

This is, however, just a tuneup for when Saddam meets Mr. Hangman.

That will be THE biggie celebration, as well as a measurable turning point in the war on terror in Iraq.
