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!

David Chater is not a traitorous Arnett! I just saw him interview a US Marine, he had a huge smile on his face, and he said "Bloody good to see you"

To: Big Bad Bob
Oh I will. He put our Canadian troops in harms way and allowed our troops to plan your bombing runs in the AWACS planes but yet said we weren't part of the effort all to protect his votes on the left.
That lack of support to our troops has thoroughly pi$$ed me off.
Hey is anyone watching this on Sky. On Sky they are showing the Marines coming in on one side and the 3rd IN coming in on the other side. The "optics" for the world to see. Someone in CENTCOM realizes the image of this is very important for the world to see.

To: Timesink
Good for them!
To: Howlin
he's talking about it again. Says he feels like a big weight off his shoulders because the regime is gone, his minder is gone and he's in charge of his own life again.
I don't know if he's broadcasting or not.
