An Iraqi Twofer

Wow, first we have an Iraqi vote that annoys leftists and insurgents both, and now this:

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.

"We will build a statue for Bush," said Ali Fadel, the former provincial council chairman. "He is the symbol of freedom."

Hmm, I'm picturing Dubya, clad in Roman battle armor, with a flowing tunic; glowing Sword of Freedom's Might held proudly aloft; all while riding on the back of an eagle; with Toby Keith playing everytime someone passes by.

Tasteful, subdued... perfection.

Update: Some possible poses can be found here.
