Operation Iraqi Freedom
This thread is dedicated to the brave men and women of the
Armed Forces of the United States of America.
"Wish You Were Here"
For all the free people that still protest.
You're welcome. We protect you and you are protected by the best.
Your voice is strong and loud,
but who will fight for you? No one standing in your crowd.
We are your fathers, brothers, and sons,
wearing the boots and carrying guns.
We are the ones that leave all we own,
to make sure your future is carved in stone.
We are the ones who fight and die,
We might not be able to save the world, Well, at least we try.
We walked the paths to where we are at
and we want no choice other than that.
so when you rally your group to complain,
take a look in the back of your brain.
In order for that flag you love to fly
wars must be fought and young men must die.
We came here to fight for the ones we hold dear.
If that's not respected, we would rather stay here.
So please stop yelling, put down your signs,
and pray for those behind enemy lines.
When the conflict is over and all is well,
be thankful that we chose to go through hell.
Corporal Joshua Miles and all the boys from 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines,
Kuwait 3/9/2003

The DU dummies KNOW this is the end of the world. Please, please, please! Don't say that.
I can't go there; I will not go there; every time I go there, I can't resist signing up with a new email address, and they ban my red, white, and blue a$$ in about two minutes, and I stay mad about it all day.
I have to get some work done today, and I can't do it with my hands shaking that way...

Russia Meets With French, German Leaders About Iraq War
9-April-2003
Moscow: The leaders of France, Russia and Germany -- chief European opponents of the U.S.-led war in Iraq -- will be in St. Petersburg this weekend for meetings on Iraq's reconstruction.
French President Jacques Chirac will be in St. Petersburg on Friday and Saturday, the Kremlin said. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder was already slated to meet with President Vladimir Putin in the former imperial capital on those days. The schedule of meetings, or whether all three leaders would meet at once, wasn't clear.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan also was planning to visit at Putin's invitation, but he canceled those plans Tuesday.
Instead, he accepted an invitation to next week's European Union summit in Athens, Greece. A U.N. announcement said the change means Annan can meet with EU leadership as well as representatives of EU member nations.
Chirac said Putin had invited him and Schroeder "to discuss all aspects of the situation" in Iraq. The visit will also be "an occasion to discuss postwar Iraq," he said.

Right now, it appears pretty peaceful. As NamVet noted, though, that is very unlikely to be true overnight as they start the bloody work of going after Saadumb's henchmen.

Lindsey is practising her lede. "This is the most dangerous time of all in Baghdad......"
What spin! Of course, she always talks about the terror of sanctions, never the terror of Saddam.
This is how the bad guys will try to spin liberation. Of course there can be some anarachy. What do you expect. They make it sound as though the coalition is leaving tomorrow. Bleh.

I don't begrudge them going after Saddams thugs,,if it is a bloody business, so be it. They can do as they wish if you ask me.

I don't suppose any of this is going out of country on a TV feed to any of the other Arab countries.
How would the protestors in Jordan, Iran, and Syria explain this??????

I thought about that. I doubt al jazeera wants say the people in Syria or N Korea or Iran to see these pics,,they may get ideas.

There *better* be repurcussions for the French on this one. If we let them by with a pass on this, I am going to be very...very...displeased.

It would be nice if the locals can rid the city of the Syrian, palestinian, and Yemeni terrorists who were Hussein's henchmen.
