An Iraqi worker identified only as Mohammed, right, helping in the reconstruction of a road near the port of Umm Qasr, speaks to US Rear Admiral Charles Kubic April 6, 2003. The Navy Seabees have started working with locals in repairing roads, setting up playgrounds and helping in the distribution of potable water in an effort to return life to normal. Mohammed later spoke with journalists and told them 'Tell (German Chancellor Gerhard) Schroeder and (French President Jacques) Chirac that if they lived for just one day under Saddam they would have asked the whole world to come and liberate us.'

Hmm, I know a reservist in the Seabees, he was called up a week or two ago. Nice to see what some of 'em are doing.

BUMP! And the Axis of Weasels whines that the US will cut them out of the post-war spoils....It won't be us, it'll be the New Iraqi government that will have absolutely no problem cutting them out!

Who are these Schroeder and ChIraq characters?

[Polybius]

An Iraqi identified only as Mohammed....

Say, that "Iraqi identified only as Mohammed" saved Pfc. Lynch, too. That guy gets around more than Tourist Guy. :-)

LOL, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking!

'Tell (German Chancellor Gerhard) Schroeder and (French President Jacques) Chirac that if they lived for just one day under Saddam they would have asked the whole world to come and liberate us.'

It's easy to be a liberal when don't have to accept responsibility for your actions (or lack thereof).

Give thanks to the Lord for the brave soldiers who "hath no greater love than to lay down his life for a friend".

[CathyRyan]

Is it not amazing whose side Mohammed always appears to be on.

[monocle]

"A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged" is a quotation which immediately comes to mind.

[JudgemAll]

Yep, priceless quote nailing it on the head. These so called sure shots of Europe are going to become the laughing stock of the world, sooner or later, when the chips fall down. I can see it now, us buying peace with the arabs gladly by offering them Europe on a platter. Yum yum yum.

I'm SO glad you posted this. I saw it over on Yahoo and was very impressed by the picture and Mohammed's quote.

More stories, sentiments just like this, will come out. And soon!

How history will tell the story:

A. The U.N. sent inspectors into Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction - the same WMD Saddamn said he did not have. Forming new alliances, France, Germany, and Belgium, continually sought prolonged inspection times in their attempts to restrain the U.S. and Britian from attacking Saddam. The U.N. Council repeatedly ruled in thir favor.

B. Saddamn, while insisting (and convincing France, Germany, and Belgium) he had no WMD, at the same time threatened the U.S. and Britian to destroy them (WITH THE SAME WMD HE CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE) if they attacked Iraq.

C. The United States and Britian agreed that Saddamn had not complied with U.N. resolution 1440, had WMD, then attacked and removed Saddamn from power to prevent him (or other terrorists) from using them.

D. After the U.S. and Britian attacked Iraq, vast stores of WMD, chemical, biological, and yes - even some nuclear - were uncovered by the prevailing U.S. and British forces.

E. Saddamn and his two sons were tried before a U.N. tribunal and unaimously found to be enemies of minkind perptetuating mass murders on their own people of magnitudes and ferociouceness not seen since Adolph Hitler's actions created the word "genocide." They were summarily hung for their crimes against humanity. Regrettably the knots where incorrectly tied and the distance of the drop was not sufficient to break their necks. They swung and kicked for almost thirty minutes before strangling to their infamous historical deaths.

F. The Democrats in the United States had their worst election returns in the 2004 elections in that party's history.

G. George W. Bush was elected president for a second term in 2004 by the largest landslide in U.S. history.

H. Ditto for Tony Blair.

I. Hillary Clinton was defeated for his (grin) bid for reelection in New York State.

J. Thanks to the "footdragging" tactics of France and Germany througout the entire world crisis, the United Nations was made to be a laughing stock of historical proportions and was deemed irrelevent and impotent and consequently vaporized into nothingness as did it's predecessor - The League of Nations.

There is Hope . . FREED IRAQI:S CHEERING CHAMPIONS OF FREEDOM WHO ARRIVED

This precious child knows nothing of the hatred between Muslim and Jew, white on black, rich on poor, elitists on the uneducated, or the monstrous deeds of tyrants. She could be any girl her age, in any land, any race, any religion.

If the coalition turns Iraq into something even approaching the 21st century's post-WW2 Japan, we are going to become the terrorist states' worst nightmare.

George W. Bush was elected president for a second term in 2004 by the largest landslide in U.S. history.

It will be hard to beat Reagan's landslide, plus the country has changed since then.

There are way to many liberals who are completely brain dead and still think GB is an illegitimate President.

Besides that, nice fantasy.
