Awwwww.........

[Steven W.]

hopefully many of these people will realize they've been lied to

"We now hope Washington will have time ... "

Once again, we run into the same old song and dance of "America is bad, but they'd better come here and solve our problems."

All those babies named Saddam.....how do you say Rummy in Arabic?

Palestinians stunned Astonished by collapse of Saddam's regime

Oh nooooooo. Does this mean that families of suicide bombers won't be getting a $25,000 check from Saddam?

Palestinians may be unhappy now, but when they realize that the U.S.-led coalition does not intend to occupy Iraq long-term, and that Iraqis will eventually govern themselves, and that they (Palestinians) may finally get their own "state" if President Bush has anything to say about it, they will change their tune!

"He gave us a sense of pride because he was the only Arab leader who stood up against Israel and the US," said Abdel Majiud al-Bahs, a 46-year-old engineer. "Now that Saddam is gone, the Palestinians feel like orphans. We have lost an important ally. He was even more popular than Yasser Arafat."

I would never cross a bridge this "Engineer" designed!

"Shock and Awe" as moderate Muslims realize they've been hosed.

[Hildy]

This is going to change the face of the Middle East forever. George W. Bush will go down in history as the leader who had the guts to expose the truth the the Arab World and move it into this century. Thank God we finally have a principled President. Thank God.

Nazis, Soviets, French, Taliban, Osama, Saddam, etc. Just a short list of regimes those morons the pallies have supported. Here's a tip...if the pallies support someone, bet on the other team.

[Trust but Verify]

Only the guy in the last paragraph gets it. All the rest are in an irreversible coma due to the lies of their 'leaders' and 'media'.

[korean-conservative]

GREAT article! i was waiting for a response in the arab world concerning the developments of this morning!

[Libertina]

"Let's hope that the US will now implement the road map plan for peace in the Middle East and force Israel to stop its aggression on our people."
First order of business, destroy the madrassas of hate... this poor guy has some big shocks coming.

[dalebert]

"maybe now the Americans will have time to stop Israeli agression"...........HeHe!

[Gritty]

As the truth comes out, the depression will settle in even further!

[ThomasMore]

"I'm stunned and appalled. I can't understand what is happening,"

That's because you've been lied to all your life.

[PhiKapMom]

Looks like the Arab media is even worse than ours. Our media is a pest compared to their Arab media who tell outright lies that go beyond one's imagination! Telling the Arabs that the Iraqi's were winning in Baghdad was one huge whopper and coming back to bite the Arab media.

[AppyPappy]

When the war erupted, I warned my sons not to watch Arab TV stations so they would not be disappointed and depressed when the truth eventually comes out."

Hell, that's why I don't watch CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC
