Ooooo OOOOOO Tank Tank....tank gonna help with the statue

[atomic conspiracy]

I believe it is time for the lefty denialists and saddam apologists to follow the example of their long-time role-model, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, and put themselves out of Iraq's misery. They should leave their children out this time, though.

Is it WRONG of me to want to put on the Imperial March from Star Wars? :p

I don't thikn so. In fact, I've got it now.

NBC: Tom Brokaw says this is just like 1989 in Europe!

[Mo1]

Oh Oh ... the guy hit the statue with his show ... in Iraq that is meant to be a BIG Insult

[Anamensis]

Beating the statue with his shoe.... LOL!! The shoe is mightier than the tank! Well, no, I guess not really, but still.

[epluribus_2]

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

My dear friends!

This is a day of JOY, Baghdad is FREE!!

IRAQ IS CONQUERED!!

....IRAQ IS FREE!

But let us not forget for a moment, that many brave men and women - on Iraqi as well as on OUR side - can not celebrate this day of peace and justice for Iraq.

The democratic, peaceloving nations may welcome its new member, the Republic of Iraq!

Thank you, America and Britain, for defending the entire free world and liberating a nation from a regime that has oppressed, tortured and killed its own people!

Thank you, soldiers, who have given the very most a man can give: your lives! We mourn your death and will not forget, what you all have done for us - once again!

From a grateful German

Schadenfreude...it's better than Coke...and less filling.

Suggestion: buy yourself something, then wear it while you're placing the call-in order to Hooters for wings. Put the beer on ice, and send hubbie to pick up the wings, with a reminder that he'll have EVERYTHING waiting upon his return (emphasize "WITH the wings").
