Re: Welcomed as liberators

"Defense experts inside and outside the Pentagon say military planners were clearly influenced by the Pentagon’s belief, expressed by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz and other senior leaders, that U.S. forces would be welcomed as liberators."

After the fall of Baghdad, Newsweek and Time both featured covers showing the same Iraqi planting a smacker on the cheek of different GIs. Curiously, this same dude was also one of the Iraqis photographed pummeling the fallen statue of Saddam Hussein.

Nice work, if you can get it.
