"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.

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!

And the real Saddam will pop out of the base, like popping out of a cake. He'll be like the wicked witch of the West, the crowd will sactter, and CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS can rejoice, as the war re-enters "quagmire" status

I fear that when that thing does come down, there's quite a few people that stand to be crushed when it lands! Hopefully, they're fleet of foot and get out of the way!

I just want to send out a personal FU to Peter Arnett, Robert Fiske, and Peter "Quagmire" Jennings. Your strongman is done for, finished kaput. You better pray that the Iraqi people are forgiving people, and don't lash out at you all for propping up the man who gave them so much misery.

What I will miss from this is the sun comingk up and the birds, and someone out walking their dog.

Ahhh yes. Hummm maybe they'll put up a cam to say? That'd do it for me! Maybe the new government could hire Ahmad. :-)

CNBC had video of a town in N. Iraq, supposedly they can see what is happening in Baghdad. Huge parade of cars and people cheering, honking horns.

FN reporting that Jordan can see it, subdued.
