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

Good Morning.
This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.
It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.
Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help! If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

Did anybody keep count of how many "real" questions there are as opposed to how many "hotel" questions there are?

I just heard this and I can't believe the stupidity of these people. They still can't seem to grasp the idea that we are at war!
To: Kip Lange
"My God! How could you people fire on a place you said you would fire on and told us to evacuate!!" (ROFL) What would they say if the Iraqis really used the reporters as shields, or started executing them. Would they want coalition foreces to use force in the direction of the hotel, or not?
What a bunch of freakin' ungrateful jerks.
To: mystery-ak
Notice they don't ask if the Red Cross has seen OUR POWs.

Why weren't they wearing flak jackets and helmets? Those are stage props. Literally. The reporters practice their lines in regular clothes, and put on the stage props for the mass audience, to give a certain appearance.
To: Kip Lange
They are going to try their damndest to make President Bush out to be worse that saddam.
To: E Rocc
OMG.....the thoughts that those creeps are lurking on this thread just about ruined my day!
