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.

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 agree we should sing it more often. Speaks of an unapologetic righteous cause and humbly acknowledges God's power & control in the affairs of men.

OMG, I just turned on ABC and General Joulwan is CHEWING OUT PETER JENNINGs!
He said "You should NEVER use the term 'cakewalk'"!
Evidently Peter had said this looks like it was a cakewalk for our troops and G=Joulwan lit into him...hard!

GOOD.
To: Nam Vet
the Kurds will go wild with Mosul and the northern cities falling even more I just saw some footage of Kurds celebrating in a northern city. It wasn't Mosul or Kirkuk, but they are celebrating.

Did anyone see Brian Wilson on FOX about 2:00 this morning, saying he had "located Saddam?" They then showed the picture of Saddam w/the Blixy Chicks (that we've seen here on FR)... it was so funny!

What an a$$hole Jennings is, he needs to just GO AWAY!!
To: Cboldt
Has anyone gotten an interview with the soldier who climbed up on the crane and put the flag on Saddams face?

the Kurds will go wild with Mosul and the northern cities falling even more, if you can imagine that. Sky showed footage of the Kurds celebrating in the streets. I noticed that the flag they were waving is slightly different: the three bars, green, white, red and a large yellow sun in the middle, instead of the 3 green stars.
I heard the three stars stood for the Ba'ath Party.
To: Cboldt
I wonder where the previous owners of that banner are now? Human shields no longer necessary! I figure they are hanging out in a cellar somewhere with Baghdad Bob!
