NBC Today Show was showing the celebrations in Bagdad and in Northern Iraq!! Will wonders never cease!?!?

They had to put out their feelers first, I guess they decided people wanted to see this.

Just a small word of thanks for keeping the lights burning here making it so we could all share this moment.

And now back to our normally scheduled liberation.

[golas1964]

Dittos! Then on to Tikrit! It ain't over just yet...

[hawkaw]

Does anybody know what the "futures" are doing at the Stock exchange?

I can't believe Sky News David welcomed the American troops after what he has been saying the last few days.

Wonders never cease.

QUAGMIRE! QUAGMIRE! QUAGMIRE!

Elenor sneered yesterday that unless we find a lot of WMD, then the whole war was wrong and the Dems were right. I guess she wants to put the women and kids back in jail and have the UN prop up the Baath Socialists back in power.

They asked Richard to describe the moment. Instead of talking about the thrill of it, Richard went off on a long monologue about how he'd been afraid and had a rock lifted off his shoulder.

Imagine the reporter at the burning of the Hindenburg. Instead of reporting what's happening, telling about has scared he was.

Stick a fork in Richard. He's cooked.

"Corporal! You've just rolled into downtown Baghdad and wiped out the remnants of the Baath party! What are you going to do now!!!"

I'm gonna BOYCOTT DISNEY: a vortex of seductive evil™

I was in the 3dBn 4th Marines before going to Vietnam the first time. While in Vietnam I was in "Hotel" Company, 2nd Bn, 7th Marines.

What a sense of pride I feel at this moment. Both the 3dBn 4th Marines and 2nd Bn 7th Marines are major units here in the liberations of Baghdad.

[Poser]

Canadians??? Um... I thought they were against this war. Were you being facetious?

[amom]
