Much has been made about the 4 year anniversary of the “fall of Baghdad”. I wanted to do this earlier, but better late than never…
Here’s a picture of the massive anti-American protest that took place a couple of days ago in a square in Baghdad:
For the other 2 pics, see the flip…
Here’s a picture of the fall of Baghdad, in 2003, when we were told that:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Iraqis danced and waved the country’s pre-1991 flag in central Baghdad’s Firdos Square after a U.S. Marine armored recovery vehicle helped topple the square’s huge statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The statue — the height of about four men — was one of the symbols of Saddam’s rule over Iraq and came down about 6:50 p.m. Wednesday (10:50 a.m. ET).
Iraqis had begun tearing down portraits of Saddam and throwing shoes — a grave insult in the Arab world — and chipping away at the base of the statue with sledgehammers after a column of Marines advanced into the square Wednesday afternoon.
How many times did we see THIS picture?
But not this one — showing the same view AND SAME LOCATION as the first pic above:
What a difference 4 years makes, eh?! You wouldn’t notice by watching the corporate media, though.
We’re told, “Look how Bush ‘lost his opportunity'”.
BULLBISQUITS!!
It was ALL psy-ops from the beginning people — on both us AND the Iraqis. Let us not forget that!
