"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!

Is this a rumor that al-jazeera is reporting that he has taken refuge in a russian emabassy, or is al-jazeera actually reporting it?

It's true they're reporting it, but the Pentagon has issued a total denial.

Ministry of Finance, may have been hideout for Fedayeen..the locals will take care of their own. Ollie mentioned a Baath Party member hung from a lamp post. The Romanians understand. So do I.

1 Shout for joy to the LORD , all the earth. 
2 Worship the LORD with gladness; 
come before him with joyful songs. 
3 Know that the LORD is God. 
It is he who made us, and we are his ; 
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving 
and his courts with praise; 
give thanks to him and praise his name. 
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
