January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD — The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.

In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.

"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."

Fadel's predecessor, Ali al-Haidari, was gunned down Jan. 4 when militants opened fire on his armor-covered BMW as it traveled with a three-car convoy.

2. This is such propaganda!

It's horrible! REAL LIBERATORS SUCH AS FDR and CHURCHILL didn't need statues to prove themselves!

[Placebo]

3. Fadel must have a death wish.

5. Why do these US stooge guys all sound like rug merchants?

There is a real tinge of unbelievability and insincerity when they pipe these guys in for an interview.

Let's see. Homeland Security? What we need is a new federal building. Let's call it the GW Bush Federal Bldg. How about another monument for the Mall. I know. The Freedom Monument with Iraq and Bush prominantly desplayed. Money you say? How about Bush's mug on Iraqi cash?

[LittleClarkie]

17. Oh goodie, something new to knock down and throw shoes at

Bet they get a bigger crowd this time too.

At the very least, can't wait to see the little Chaplan mustache they're bound to draw on it.

[Pam-Moby]

18. I agree

this will be a good statue for the Iraqi people to tear down to take their aggression out on the US for the illegal invasion of their country!!!

20. just curious about how he became mayor

I wonder how the citizens of Baghdad feel about their mayor's priorities?

Maybe they should fix the sewers in Sadr City first.

[kuozzman]

21. He's replacing the previous Mayor(assassinated)

Edit: That's in the article.

[greenbriar]

22. lets just let him move over there and take sadam's place

it would be "torture" but we would get over it!!!



can I help him pack his bags?

[TankLV]

23. I hope they really do it.

And we thought it couldn't get any worse.

This should be fun if they do.

Pass the popcorn.

This is SOOOO rich with possibilities!
