Looting Breaks Out in Baghdad
Wednesday, April 09, 2003

BAGHDAD, Iraq

Youths bounced new tires down the street, a pickup truck spun away with an air conditioner in the back. In a free-for-all Wednesday, Iraqis in Baghdad pillaged offices of the government that ruled them for decades, making away with refrigerators, mattresses, telephones, even doors.

With the regime's feared security forces nowhere to be seen, Iraqis also dared cheer U.S. troops and attack the symbols of Saddam Hussein' rule.
In front of the Oil Ministry, a man clambered up a statue of Saddam, sat on its shoulder and bashed its head with a stone slab. Others beat it with their shoes.

They danced in the streets, waving rifles, palm fronds and flags, and defaced posters of the longtime Iraqi president ? acts that would have been unthinkable days or weeks before.

Seeing people taste Freedom for the first time is a very beautiful sight indeed.

I am so impressed with our men and women in uniform!

To be honest, I was not thrilled with the concept of embedded journalists but it has allowed the world have a first-hand look at what a soldier should be.

I have always honored anyone who serves our country. Watching them on television has only heightened my respect for them. The Brits and other coalition partners are now happily included.

Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening
of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires
of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar
in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence
by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel
writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners,
So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman,
crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men
before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him!
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom
that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy,
let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
