Saddam’s Regime Is Over
So where are all of the cheering masses? After the statue of Saddam Hussein was brought down by the citizens of Baghdad (with the help of a US tank of course), the streets of Baghdad opened up. FOX News was showing pictures of Iraqis dragging the head of Saddam’s statue through the streets.
If you watched the video, take a good look at the size of the guy with the sledgehammer. Good Lord! Now there’s a guy Saddam needed to get in his regime ASAP! Or even better, put in charge of security for Baghdad.
The Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, has joined Hitler in the pantheon of failed dictators, the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said tonight.
Mr Rumsfeld’s words came as Iraqis took to the streets of the capital to celebrate the end of Saddam’s 30-year reign.
Three weeks after war began, jubilant crowds greeted American troops in Baghdad, cheering as marines toppled a giant statue of Saddam. Iraqis had earlier attacked the city center statue with a sledgehammer.
