"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.

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!

I've seen Daschle saddened, soddened, saddamed.
Iraqi flag now being draped on Saddam's statue. They probably should've put it on the other side of the neck.

Tommy Daschle is saddened.

So saddened. Nancy Pelosi is anxious. Hillary Clinton is pissed. The Democrat Wake is beginning!

This is a great day for us, but a greater day for the Iraqis.

"We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last 100 years . . . and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in."
-Colin Powell on charges of American Imperialism

Okay - just got out of 8 hours worth of meetings - I see that the Baghdadi's are flipping out-

Can someone tell me what's going on? Did I miss the climax?

That photo will be as important to me as the firemen raising the flag and ground zero.

Me too very very much.

I really really really REALLY have to go now. *sigh* really!

The only problem is that the flag might get destroyed along with the statue. In that case it might have been more appropriate to place a French flag there instead.
