Why isn't * in Baghdad celebrating Iraqi Freedom Day?
You know, he could stroll down the street, shake hands, and kiss babies, all the while being showered with flowers and praise...

2. because he is a coward

pure and simple. plus, it would interrupt his vacation and lying/stealing/cheating and grimacing is hard WERK. He's gotta find some brush and clear it.

5. Because it's actually "Blow Shit Up" Day
Which is a popular festival in those parts.

You know the son of a bitch would never risk a hair on his head.

12. I love how our media are even giving the Iraqis their "holidays"
Ever see the far off shots of the taking down of the Saddam statute?

That was a special ops all the way, made for tv news, and delivered on schedule. What a load that was.
