[The_Casual_Observer]

to be remembered and repeated as the Iraqi war years roll on.

1. The framing of the photo

bothers me....

did they frame it to "present" to Bush? A mememto of the "good ole' days"? :shrug:

2. We can't show the bodies of dead Americans, yet we can show Iraqis...

who had their heads shot up.

5. I get your point, but Zarqawi is Jordanian n/t

[tives12]

11. Sorry

I was also thinking about the Hussein sons. They were Iraqi, right?

3. Didn't Bushco want the actual head brought to the Oval Office

I remember some ridiculous request like that a while back.

4. The photo of his head is symbolic of a defeated enemy.

When you kill your enemy you cut off his head and put it on display. That is what all uncivilized people do. You guys did not think for a moment that our present leaders are civilized?

6. No, I didn't.

"You guys did not think for a moment that our present leaders are civilized?"

9. The Romans put heads on Pikes.

We should bring that back.

7. Uhm

Is anyone else bothered by the way he looks.

You know so peaceful and all.

Oh, and in good condition with relatively free of flesh damage or burns.

Does anyone here have any idea what a 500lb smart missle can do to a residential dwelling? not to mention the second one after the roof is already gone.

That body was killed by no bomb.

8. Saddam's Statue, his son's corpses, Zarq.'s beheadings, Zarq.'s head,

All are powerful visual images with the same message. We are the all powerful U.S. and here we come.

10. Of course if the "enemy" did the same thing to one of our generals,

It would be just the incident to set off world war four.
