Fantastic! Let FReedom ring!

I love this stuff.

...some of the fiercest street fighting of the war that left one coalition soldier dead and eight wounded.

Does a fight resulting in a single KIA and only eight WIAs actually count as "fierce?"

I've been monitoring the stupid SOBs on DU the past 2 weeks. It has been a treasure trove of frantic desperation and futile grabbing at straws. Their hatred of America, and Bush in particular, has truly driven them crazy.

They banked everything on Bush failing this mission, and they have been proven wrong for, oh, the 10,000th straight time. Those that are left on their site are starting to devour themselves. It's hilarious.

Awwwww... they're cryin' we haven't lost yet huh? They need to go and commiserate with Baghdad Bob on the change in fortune. :)

That picture of Saddam taking the great fall is just so good. May terror end in Iraq! God bless America, God bless Great Britain, and God now bless Iraq! It is about time.

Please don't show pictures of Iraqi's destroying the Saddams and cheering US troops on DU...it may cause a mass suicide.

Nah, they'd just blame it on Israeli brainwashing.
