1 - Saddam Down (videos+books)

Iraq war (1) - Kristol and Kaplan's book presents a modern view of the conflict, focused on international politics.

Saddam is down - the war is over!

The war is over. I am really impressed how an army of just a few thousands men and women fought and won a battle with urban incursions, thousands of miles away from home, in roughly just 15 days!

Two icons will survive for a long time now: (1) Saddam's statue falling @ central Baghdad, and (2) the Iraqui Information Minister speeches :).

Check the videos section for a video of the statue's fall. This is a world premiere; this website also was the world's #1 to post a downloadable video of the second plane that hit the Twin Towers, five seconds after it happened.
