Time to get the he*ll out !!!!!!!!!!!!
Baghdad, my *ss.
Is that a DAMN US FLAG they are burning? I've pretty much had enough of Iraq. Our soldiers died for their freedoms and they burn our flag because they are mad at Bush. Hell, were mad at Bush and them, but you don't see us burning their flag or ours. If they dislike Bush, then grab his picture and burn it, not our flag. Damn Ingrates......
Damn ingrates - I'll say, they should be very thankful that we shocked and awed them into the stone age, tortured prisoners, destroyed the infrastructure of their country, drove hundreds of thousands - if not millions - from their homes, and murdered thousands and thousands of innocent men, women, and children.
DontBeFoolish, your ignorance is astounding. I'm pretty sure the Iraqi's have pretty much had enough of US. Died for their freedom - you have GOT to be kidding me.
