Title: US flag in Bahsra
Post by: videoholic on March 21, 2003, 09:03:49 AM: Anyone else think they should have put the Iraqi flag over the US one. Taking the one down I think is wrong. Symbolic that it is still their country, but we are there for them. I just thought it was in poor taste.

Take all his freaking pictures down.

Shit that guy has his mug on every wall in that freaking country.
