January 30, 2005 -- BAGHDAD — The man replacing the mayor of Baghdad — who was assassinated for his pro-American loyalties — says he is not worried about his ties to Washington.

In fact, he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush in the middle of the city.

My cat waits behind the door in the morining every day, so he gets smacked in the head every day. But moving on...

Hey, I don't want to go all, crazy rabid DU on you, but didn't they have a big statue of Saddam in the centre of town only a couple years ago. Hmmm...

Hey, if I become a pathological liar can I get my own statue too?

If they're smart they'll remember what happened to Saddam's statues and make the first Weeble statue to honor G.W.B. .....

I'm pretty sure Dubya's kids aren't out raping brides and murdering grooms on their wedding night.

Might as well put a sign up saying "place bomb here".

And the last time Uday fucked one of his dad's friends over he was kidnapped, beaten, and almost assassinated, not to mention being blacklisted from ever ruling again.

But yeah, you're right.

This is just to ludicrous, cheesey, and over-the-top for it to be anything other than the original idea of a grandstanding Iraqi politician with the rough demeanour of a riverboat gambler.

That's why we can cast the entire thing and its base out of solid armor grade steel, jacket it in depleted uranium and then coat the DU in a foot or two of graphite. We will then have a statue, which will be proof against nuclear weapons of considerable yield. It should be a valuable bomb sink, drawing away munitions, which might otherwise be used against more important targets.

Ah, making it the nipple of the great tit of a strategy they've been putting forward for iraq as a whole?

This is a great idea. The statue can be of Dubya on all fours, looking under the bed for weapons of mass destruction.

Good idea! Then we all can guess for how long it will stand.

Oh Jez-us, but that's a funny image.

I'll take two, and make sure they're built to Skimmer's standard. I want to drop them on someone from a great height.

Damn, I thought you were going to add a huge ogre standing right behind him pounding him in the ass, with the word "LOGIC" stamped on his forehead.
