"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!

Are you trying to say that Saddam is being served for dinner? S**t on a shingle?

LOL! We're back to scatological humor.

Actually, I think Ceegar Guy would be a perfect counterpoint to Belly Girl! We should demand equal time!

Yes, I get email from them almost everyday. They are
"family." You probably already know, Rich has this website:
www.truthorfiction.com
where he debunks current (and some very old) internet rumors as well as other famed urban rumors. That keeps him pretty busy. Has done several TV appearances about the website--including one not to long ago on (gasp!) MTV.
(sorry to be so long in replying---I can only participate in FR at work, and then only in snatched moments of time.)

Did you hear Helen's question today?

I can't stand that old bat. She reminds me of Kathy Bates in the movie Misery:

ARI: I've answered the question, Helen.

HELEN: You cockadootie!

Is it my imagination or does the WH press corp seem more respectful today?

The CENTCOM press corp was especially rude and self-centered today. That was at 7 AM EST (tomorrow, we'll see), but the Pentagon press corp was more respectful...absolutely.

I can't listen to the WH press corp. It makes me not love my neighbor. Perhaps they heard mainstream America growling at them. (^:

Did you read the caption?

The guy fishing was using noodles for bait...noodles from chicken noodle soup in his MRE's! No bites, though.

Wow, a friend of mine, who is a hardcore lefty, and vehemently opposed this war just told me that he realizes he was wrong because he is now seeing how happy these people are

Wow. I just heard hell freeze over.
