"STOP BUMPING WHEN FULLY REPORTED BY THE "OLD MEDIA"

That'll be a long time, good sir.

Again, what a wonderful array. The poverty in the streets contrasted against the opulence of Saddam's palaces leave me speechless. I hope that the palaces held a bunch of loot such as money and diamonds for liquidation and funding of the rebuild. It will be really interesting to see where Iraq is in 5 years--as long as the maggots and the vultures at the UN are kept at arm's length...

Heartfelt Joy

No Hollywood producer
That ever lived
Could ever reproduce such joy

No actor, no matter how fine
Could make their faces shine
Like these girls and boys

Though they've known fear
And darkness for years
For this moment in time
There are no more tears

The pic of the Iraqi civilian pushing the wheelbarrow with the blue drum cracked me up. Is this a Saddam wannabe? Getting his first drum of sarin? /sarcasm/

I hope our guys got to take the Mother of All Showers
in Saddam's Palace....

Some Brits finally got a chance to shower [posted in another thread]:

Thanks so much for your efforts. I've been collecting many of these pictures myself, because you're right, "Old Media" won't show 'em or report the stories they depict, and I always want to be able to show others what really happened.

There's an awful lot of steel beam and re-bar in this two story cinderblock building. Building codes must be real strict in this part of Baghdad. [/sarcasm]

You're right. That's a great picture that I haven't seen in the media. lol All I've got to say is that journalists were warned about Baghdad. They are collateral damage and if it's true that the Palestine Hotel is where the regime ordered journalists to stay, they were without their permission or knowledge, JOURNALISTIC HUMAN SHIELDS.

Instead of the rejoicing and pictures of the American Flag waving in Iraq, this is the story that is on today. Pentagon Briefing's at 1:30 pm est. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PRESS WILL BE ASKING ABOUT? Will Al-Jazeera tv stand up and do what they've been doing all along - ie. accusations in the form of a question (like Helen Thomas)?
