"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!

Monsur Ijaz is a Pakistani-American who has lots of contacts in the Muslim world. He was the one that the Somalians had contact with offering bin Laden to the US. Clinton, of course, refused. He was rightfully disgusted after 9/11 and has been on Fox as a commentator many times giving information on political attitudes in various parts of the Arab world. He is well-spoken and quite insightful.

He is a businessman and consultant.

I back tracked. Arkady renko appears to have the honors of the first freeper to post the idea.

Yaaaawnnn... Just waking up - what did I miss, Shermy. Was I lucky on a guess? Is he dead yet?

With nations that both my nation (UK) and America can TRUST 100%! Well that leave out the French, German, Russian and most other major EU nations.

Saying that what does this do to Mr John Howard, who was unknown a few weeks ago, but is to me a World Stateman, unlike certain other leaders.
