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

Jubilant crowd greets US forces in Baghdad
BAGHDAD (AFP) Apr 09, 2003
Jubilant crowds cheered US troops rolling through a district of northern Baghdad Wednesday, applauding and chanting "Good, Good, Bush!", an AFP journalist said.
Hundreds of Baghdadis welcomed the US convoy of seven vehicles carrying Marines through the Hababiyah district about three kilometers (two miles) from the heart of the capital, and tore up a giant portrait of President Saddam Hussein.

SKY cut away from CENTCOM after a few minutes of briefing.
I would appreciate anybody who is watching to give us a few tidbits of what they are saying there.

My NTV is showing skyline, not the roundabout. It's dark, but I can see. No voices...just the hum of the air compressor. Are we seeing the same thing????

Forget Lara, Katie Couric seems absolutely crestfallen; I can't remember her more somber.

BBC was showing a clip of two guys one saying "Thank you Mr. Bush! Thank you!" the other guy saying "We very like Mr. Bush!". Cheering and celebrating everywhere.
Of course, liberal media slack-jawed and trying to spin...

Minister's Mercedes mobbed
April 09, 2003
YOUNG Iraqis attempted to hotwire the abandoned white Mercedes of the irrigation minister amid widespread looting in the Iraqi capital, an AFP correspondent said.
A group of about 15 to 20 men were working to start the engine under the lifted hood of the luxury car while another sat ready in the driver's seat.
The minister, Rassul Abd al-Hussein Sawadi, was nowhere in sight.
