What Took You So Long Guys?

"Here is how I woke up and lived this day, April 9, but three years ago.

The night before, I slept after listening to the news from different outlets. On Jazeera satellite channel, the news talked about the American forces making their way to Baghdad. they talked about these forces cordoning the city from the south and the west. On another channel, or maybe the same, I heard Iraq’s best clown ever, Muhammed Saied al-Sahaf, former minister of information and the former regime’s mouthpiece, saying that al what we’ve been hearing about the coalition forces success in closing on Baghdad and the soon braking through was simply a “lie” and that the Iraqi forces were fighting the “occupiers” and there is no chance for the occupation to win the battle. I slept that night thinking: why is it taking them so long to come here? Why would it take so long for me to see the “liberators” and high-five them?"
