#1 "In Baghdad, members of the Iraqi Communist Party...raising red flags outside party headquarters"

well, well, well... big media just never disappoints, do they. Earlier, I was shocked, shocked, that the usual media suspects were willing to broadcast happy Iraqi's dancing in the street. Of course, the only people they showed dancing were waving red flags.

Watching the media spin good news into bad is becoming a very fun past time indeed.

It seems, however, that someone has told the gloomy reporters to back off and pretend to be gracious for a day or two. By this afternoon that they are all parroting the talking point...it's a glorious day for Iraq and for President Bush". Must have decided that if they didn't pretend to be happy today, then who would listen to their carping tomorrow.

#2 Those were the flags from the PKK or Communist Party of Kurdistan. Yup they are commies. What was really interesting was the Hamas Leader was "Digusted" that Saddam did not put up a fight. I HOPE that soon EVERY arab will see the duplicity of their leaders. They tell them to become martyrs but they themselves will not.

#3 This is a story that leads the journalists. They would much rather lead the story from the bar at the Palestine. This has forced them to go out and see what is going on. I'm sure their usually gloomy selves will be back to the bad news tomorrow.

#4 They're commies are celebrating while our commies are quietly mourning. So much for worker solidarity.
