Iraqi protesters and teabaggers

Turns out the Iraqi protesters have something in common with the teabaggers:  they can't spell English words correctly!  At least the Iraqis have the excuse of not having English as their first language.  Teabaggers cannot say that!

In this protest in Najaf, Iraq, the Iraqis burned Obama, Biden, Gates and Sharon in effigy.  They also had some cardboard reproductions of US tanks with the faces of Obama, Biden and Gates on them.  There were several other protests around the country, and I will put the pictures up on the Faces of Grief blog tomorrow (Sunday).  But the first massive April 9th protest was in Baghdad in 2004.  There were reportedly five million Iraqis at that one.  They burned Bush, Blair and Saddam in effigy that time.  I guess they forgot about Cheney.  I have pictures of that on this blog, under April 2004.
