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

I just heard from BBC that American foot patrols are less than 500 meters up the street from the now-famous roundabout, and the journalists there are expecting them in the square before long.
Someone may want to post a live thread on it, perhaps, so other FReepers get the chance to view this event. You think?
To: johnb838
It is the tyrannical regimes all over the region that are shivering in their boots and trying to figure out how to attack us. The MO has been to blame America for everything to deflect attention from their own failings. Bingo!!!

Hey are we going to take the palestine Hotel?/ why are we going there. Wanta bet the journalists loot the hotel of soap and shampoo and turkish towels.
To: thedugal
Yep,
The dirtiest, most disgusting part of your body is the bottom of your foot....
SO showing someone the bottom of your foot, or worse...TOUCHING them with your soul/shoe is like, erm...
Pooping on them.

and the $64,000 dollar question is.
Has the U.N, after it's downright opposition to the liberation of Iraq got any future?

and the grocery stores. We could run the Iraqi economy from all the wonderful chaldean stores in Detroit. They put up shop where NOONE else would and are good, good people.

Mansoor Ijaz was saying on Fox last night that we should be sending a message to Bashir Assad (Syria) the he needs to "Back off. You aren't big enough, you aren't strong enough, your regime can be changed too." I like Mansoor Ijaz a LOT.

which cam will be the one to watch for the soldiers coming to the square or whereever,,I wanta see tanks.
To: fellowpatriot
The best medicine for the media whiners is to give them a dose of their own. Ignore their pleas, and change the subject. Ask them what they are going to cover next, move along, nothing to see here, etc.
