Ha! Now there are gunfire sounds.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Russians blew that swaztika....Fighting was still going on when it happened too.

(Look at photo's of post-war Berlin to see what city fighting "could" be if the defenders wanted to fight.)

[Norman Arbuthnot]

I can't believe that the DU crowd, much of the media, Europe, and the middle east are depressed today...

Not just depressed, but angry!

William Pitt actually posted a thread over on DU titled Regime collapses (Bullsh#t Alert)

How delusional can you get?!?

[Herodotus]

quick, FORCE PROTECTION!!!

[epluribus_2]

or that we own the (former) russian embassy. Document search?

[AppyPappy]

Some of the Iraqis aren't moving.

[pitinkie]

thanks..i tired but it wasnt capturing!! thought lots of caps would be up!! I want one as a background.

[null and void]

Too bad we can't send that missive to "Clarence"'s boss...

[Michael81Dus]

HAS ANYONE A THANK-PRAYER OR PSALM IN ENGLISH (I don´t want to quote from a German bible so far..)??

[Prince Charles]

Probably Fedayeen scum.... they'll have to be hunted down like mad dogs.

[InShanghai]

Shots fired in the square, people running.

[Spunky]

Shots being fired. Everybody scattering

[Howlin]

Well, I meant the way they usually fire into the air.

I wonder if that SHOT came from the Palestine Hotel??????

[Jaded]

What are the shots being fired?

[steveegg]

They should've used the chain first.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Good point. I think our military is as cautious as they are capable. Nothing can prevent every possible evil plot...still, our guys know this and choose to go to Iraq anyway. Awesome.

[GOPyouth]

From Debka:

US special operations forces have sabotaged Kirkuk-Banias pipeline cutting flow of illegal Iraqi oil exports smuggled through Syria. Damascus notifies buyers that 2003 supply diminished by 40pc, equal to 240,000bpd – exactly the quantity that Iraq previously pumped through.

[Cboldt]

Nothing will surprise me in the coming days as the last shrieks of evil are extinguished.

Evil is never going to be extinguished, not on this planet.

Brief delay while some evil takes pot shots at the circle. Not too bright, with Marines and tanks hanging out.

MSNBC saying "party's over." I think not. In the scheme of things, the shooter will become a dead ornament on the statue.

[melodie]

donkey urine

[Anamensis]

Everyone watching this amazing moment around the world and rejoicing because liberty is prevailing is an American.

You said it, hon. This is awesome. Ooo, did I just hear "crane" on FOX??
