Six years ago today-the Saddam statue event

[underpants]

and then....there is the rest of the story

[doctor jazz]

1. The saddest thing about that whole production is that some 70 or 80% of Americans still don't know

(or maybe believe) it was a totally bogus, orchestrated melodrama.
:grr:

[JuniperLea]

2. 20% or so think Bush and Cheney...

Have saved us from more 9/11-type terrorist attacks... sad.

3. CNN reported on it this morning-of course there was no mention of the reality of the situation

they DID however mention that there was a massive anit-American rally held today (I think at that spot)

[doctor jazz]

6. Gee, what a surprise.

:grr:

[gratuitous]

4. And I still wonder

What right our military had to pull down the statue? Of course, I still wonder why Saddam's personal pistol is in George W. Bush's custody, since keeping these sorts of souvenirs are forbidden.

7. Maybe he keeps souveniers from all his old friends.

I bet he has Osamas dialisis machine in his bathroom.

5. K&R for more viewing!

9. It seems like a lifetime ago, phony as ever.

All the righties got wood.

10. The BUSHers just don't have the stagecraft of the RAYGUNs!1 n/t

11. Wasn't that hotel "accidentally" shelled a few days prior to these shots.

Then our so-called free and left-wing media shows it to look like throngs instead of what it was.

13. Not sure. This is Firdos Square

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firdos_Square

There is a traffic monitoring camera that provided that wide shot I have seen THAT camera used since then to show "life returning to normal" by our MSM

[Festivito]

15. Picture 5/6 places hotel across street of its shot.

It could be a traffic cam.

Regardless of the camera placement, it looks like the international press was intimidated from the days prior in order keep more such pictures from surfacing and ruining the illusion of a war worth our unmonitored expenditure of tax dollars to duplicitous perople.

[peekaloo]

16. yes, the Palestine Hotel.

Keeping Iraq safe from the zoom lens.

14. Yet another phony republicon propaganda project

How pathetic republicons -- under the guidance of their Chickenhawk 'leaders' -- are when it comes to respecting truth & honor.
