The world, and Arab TV should note that the U.S. flag got every bit as huge a cheer as the flag of Iraq got, and that when the U.S. flag was taken down and given to an Iraqi, HE waved it to the cheers of the crowd.

Fortunately, someone clever enough substituted the U.S. flag for an Iranian one, just before toppling the statue...

Ahh yes, the Iranian flag, ever popular in Iraq.

Martlet,

I know subtleness is not one of your skills

. But for once, try to see some inches beyond your nose, and think what is the role your country wants to play in this war (hint: I am not talking about Iraq).

Have you SEEN my nose? On a clear day I can't see the end of it, let alone past it.

Here in the Seattle neigborhood of Fremont, which is a screamin liberal enclave. They have a 20 foot tall statue of Lennin that they got from the Soviet Union. I wont be surprised if they don't buy a Saddam statue to go next to it.

If that had shown up in my town, "something TERRIBLE" would have happened to it.

That can be proof of an eagle eye....or the opposite

Any of you fellow old timers like me reminded of Don Meredith at the end of a Monday Night Football game as we watch this?

You mean "Turn out the lights........ the party's over..............."

Don Meredith, one of the most underrated quarterbacks in football history. Played the "ice bowl" with broken ribs and pneumonia.
