Trying to pull the statue of Saddam down

Maybe, this will knock the Anti-war wallies into shape.

The People of IRAQ are Free!! They are NOW HAPPY, they can now get their lifes back.

Now all we have to do is smoke the real rat and his son's out.

Wonderful scenes on the TV! It's finally happened for them, thank god.

I wonder if a few 'Not in my Name' people would like to go to that square and explain to those people why they thought that they would be better off without the war... :rolleyes:

Yes I have changed my mind, I'm a hawk now purely because several hundred out of 23 million Iraqis were pictured attacking a statue.

I cannot actually believe the arrogance and blind stupidity of these ******* Americans. WTF were they thinking putting an American flag up there.

Managed to ruin an historic occasion

Do you think that, after seeing these pics, the end justfied the means? I think we all know this isnt just a few hundred people.

i dont think they ruined it, when they out that up the crowd cheered the even more, just not as much as when they put the old iraqi flag up

No they didnt...The Iraqis were fine with it and even held it up themselves afterwards...

The two flags together was a powerful symbol...

You think the rest wanted to keep Saddam? Yeah that makes sense..

The Iraqi people have waited for this moment for years, and one thing for sure, the only reason they have it now is through positive military action. Think the UN would have brought round this result? :rolleyes:

The Iraqi's seemed to like it, although i agree it shouldn't have been done maybe, but also, why not, they have helped, they deserve it IMO.

Sorry the Iraqi people failed to arise against the US libera...oops I meant oppressors. We should have tried another 12 years of sanction. tTey were bound to worj eventually. After all Saddam is 65 years old.

No way. They are meant to liberating the Iraqis, it is their country and should have nothing to do with America.
