After, oh, about the third
After, oh, about the third day of the war, when the Great Iraqi Rebellion didn't immediately materialize more than a few people were quick to gloat. But even in the South, far from the reach of Saddam Hussein, they sneered, Americans are being defeated by the very people they intended to liberate!
And catch-phrases being so chic, they really wore this one out: Did you Americans really expect to be greeted with flowers? Or bullets? Hm?
Catch-phrases sure are a bitch, aren't they :
Hundreds of jubilant Iraqis cheered, danced, waved and threw flowers as U.S. Marines advanced through eastern Baghdad and into the center of President Saddam Hussein's capital on Wednesday.
