Just so the 'left' does not forget why we are in Iraq.....this picture should be a good reminder. This is all the Saddam Hussein-al Quaeda connection I need.

The soldiers in the picture obviously do not agree with the latest Kerry pronouncement that the war in Iraq is the "wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."

I'm not sure what it says, but I will try and find out.

I believe it says: "Please take all you photo's first before blasting this mural into dust". Wink

If this is for real, this could kill Traitor John's candidacy if it gets seen by the public...

Finally got a translation -- I trust the guy who provided it.

In the circle it says, "Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq."

Along the bottom it says, "May God preserve Iraq and Saddam."

Whoever designed and painted the sign seems to have been a bit too optimistic.

Saddam is no longer President and God does not appear to be preserving him. On the other hand, Iraq is showing showing real progress as a country, except uncoupled from Saddam who has been unceremoniously stripped of all power by the U.S. military.

Here's another mural that was found inside a classroom in the early days of the war.
