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.
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!

To: Ragtime Cowgirl
That's the one, lol! Peter Jennings was yelled at by a general today. Life is good. David Chater is an exception. He is doing brave work today. Minders suck. (^:
That is amazing that Joulwan yelled at Jennings. My husband used to work for Joulwan. We were not extremely impressed by him but at least he got to beat up on Jennings. Good on him!

No-see-ums are teeny, tiny biting flies (I think, you can't see' em..really!) that arrive with certain breezes blowing from the inland Florida swamps and trees toward beaches...often on beautiful days. They feel like pin pricks. People hop around slapping at themselves and looking annoyed. Good press punishment, non? (^:

In the same way that Chater and Marks are celebrating WITH us, some need to be sure they don't fall for the sudden spirit of conservativism and patriotism on the part of some hosts and networks. They're just trolling for ratings I understand .. he may lean left .. but he does seem to be very happy to see out Troops there

When it came time to research it, I just couldn't do it. Moving post, warren_pierce. Very moving.
Don't fall for the race bait. People are individuals. Grouping is a liberal compulsion.
To: Mo1
good morning, I woke up to the statue coming down. Is it over?

Some idiot UN Aid Worker whining about how its not safe in Iraq to deliver food on Sky.
Am I missing something here. There is a war on right? Like I have been led to believe there is still 20 percent of Basra that still needs to be secured.
