Videotape shot by Kuwaiti TV crews Friday showed about a dozen villagers, most of them adult men, warmly welcoming American soldiers who arrived and briefly took up positions in the village of Safwan.
The men, a few children, and one woman spoke to at least three soldiers who got out of their vehicles. Many shook the soldiers' hands or embraced them, and some kissed the soldiers' cheeks. At one point, a soldier tore large pieces from a large poster of Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi president. One villager took off his sandal and repeatedly hit what remained of the painting of Saddam's face.
