Tomorrow's historic New York Times Headline:

"Iraqi citizen scrapes his shoulder trying to topple a Statue"

[monafelice]

Hillary, you can start writing your book now

Garafalo- what was that about crawling on broken glass

YA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

thank you soldiers.

I love this country

[wolf6656]

All of your wankers are belong to us.!!!!

[Cboldt]

And the real Saddam will pop out of the base, like popping out of a cake. He'll be like the wicked witch of the West, the crowd will sactter, and CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS can rejoice, as the war re-enters "quagmire" status

[melodie]

sorry for yelling

[Howlin]

I'm so GLAD we can all be together to share this.......we have put in our "time" for this war, and we NEEDED this!

[Kip Lange]

Move 'Statue'.

Move 'Statue' ... for Great *Justice*!

[retrokitten]

Plenty of gloating in Chicago coming from me!! LOL! DICK DURBIN CAN YOU HEAR US NOW???????

[SoldiersGirl]

we can shot the statue, weaken it up, then let them tear it down
joint project

[MEG33]

I didn't know. I can't imagine the horror..Today they will rejoice.This isn't over..but it's happening.

[Timeout]

Brokaw finally made it on...Today Show. Says he's spent a lot of time in Baghdad and never thought he'd live to see this sight!

[meyer]

I fear that when that thing does come down, there's quite a few people that stand to be crushed when it lands! Hopefully, they're fleet of foot and get out of the way!

[dogbyte12]

I just want to send out a personal FU to Peter Arnett, Robert Fiske, and Peter "Quagmire" Jennings. Your strongman is done for, finished kaput. You better pray that the Iraqi people are forgiving people, and don't lash out at you all for propping up the man who gave them so much misery.

[amom]

What I will miss from this is the sun comingk up and the birds, and someone out walking their dog.

Ahhh yes. Hummm maybe they'll put up a cam to say? That'd do it for me! Maybe the new government could hire Ahmad. :-)

[LauraJean]

Looks like the libs just got wanked

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Attacking the statue: FN: "that symbolizes an incredible thing - that is, the absence of fear." (^:

[ican'tbelieveit]

CNBC had video of a town in N. Iraq, supposedly they can see what is happening in Baghdad. Huge parade of cars and people cheering, honking horns.

FN reporting that Jordan can see it, subdued.

[InShanghai]

Anyone know where the Russian Embassy is?

Wait a minute, didn't the Russians leave? I posted this but now my Bravo Sierra meter is acting up...

[Anamensis]

This is so awesome..."reaction in Amman Jordan is... so far... subdued." Heh heh heh... I bet.

[prairiebreeze]

yes, it's being broadcast because we took over TV and radio
