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.

There was two "human shields"(one long haired European creep and an ugly female lard butt) yelling at our troops this morning and those two Iraqi guys held that sign up to tell them to GET OUT of their country. It was a pro USA sign.

I did a ping to "all" at the time the tanks rolled in. If you do a self search, you should find it. It was about 5 CST.

David Ashner, proud father of a marine son in IraqProud papa, indeed. Hasn't he been great! Hollywood won't dare face David since he K.O.'ed Eric Roberts. (^:
Rush is now listing the anti-American pundits...Jennings, Dowd, Scheer...says, "It's tiresome. The good news is you can put them in a tiny little neighborhood that's not very large, walled off from the rest of America." Calls them irrelevent. Heh. "There is on display a vivid display of vindication." In Iraq. "What we've done here is engaged in something deeply humane, and it succeeded." "It ought to make us more proud than ever to face the rest of the world." "What has been achieved here is a road map." "Doing what you say you're going to do, matters." The transcript is a keeper...so many keepers, so little time, lol!
