Saddam's last act of defiance - crushing his people...

That first guy with the hammer was a big ol boy.

just "ask" the americans to drive a tank into it

They might need a slightly longer piece of rope to pull it down

whats the betting they get into the centre of that statue with the sledgehammer and find a weapon of mass destruciton?

'Tis great fun pulling down statues. A good psychological outlet for the crowd.

The US troops are prolly wanting to keep this as the Iraqi people pulling the statue down, rather than the US doing it

Even if it takes them all night, that you can count on.

It's so funny how all of them take off their shoes and start beating the posters of Saddam with them.

Saw on some News program last week a coalition tank crushing a saddam statue. The one on BBC now looks a bit big tho...well you can bet they're gonna get it down somehow

Here comes a tank. That'll bring it down!

Over Clocker · 9 Apr 2003 at 15:08

US Soldiers are now joining in to lend a hand

These pictures look so cool on News 24!!!

I hope certain people are watching this and feeling suitably ashamed.
