"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!

No, both Conyers and Dingell are safe. Conyers' seat has a big chunk of Detroit and no Republican can win there. Dingell is immortal and will never be beaten.

Bret took it well, he was laughing sort of sheepishly.

(I'm sure Bret has a good relationship with the Pentagon, he treats them with *respect* and gets excellent info out of them...)

What planet are these people from? The food they were bringing in is being found in Saddam's palaces! It wasn't getting to the people! Ahhhh!!!! This makes me so mad! They think trying is more important than doing!

When it's time for free Iraqis to write their new national anthem, I hope someone suggests a line:

"And the rockets red glare.

The palm tree is still there.

Gave proof through the night,

That the webcam's still there."

Rummy: A lot of experts thought they knew [how long this war would take].

Take that, you embedded in studio generals.

What was the question that he gave a one word answer to? I missed it.

Brett: "Is Saddam dead?"

Rummy: "I don't know."

Brett: "Was Saddam in that building?"

Rummy: "I don't know."

At this point a lot of other reporters tried to get their questions in but Brett didn't want to let go, so he said to Rummy, "Hold on."

You could see the fear on Brett's face as he suddenly realized, "Uh-oh, I just told Rummy to hold on."

Brett asked about the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein. Dead or alive? Rummy just said, "dunno"

Thanks for the info!

I just got home and I wanted to say I'm so happy. There's a lot of work to be done, but here's to our troops and to the (hopefully longtime) Free Republic of Iraq!
