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?

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, |
