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.

lower case "w".Know what that brought to mind?
Those juvenile, assinine, military-hating Clintoon staffers who stole the "W"s off the WH typewriters on their way outta town.
It's a perfect metaphor for how they perpetuated years of misery for the people of: Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq...more to come.

Gee, that was big of him. Hope you've got your resumee ready, Comb-Over Guy. Heh heh heh.
To: melodie
COMBOVER JUST SAID PEACE WILL PREVAIL!!! "The game is over, and I hope the peace will prevail."
"the game is over," if not followed by the rest, could be taken as threatening. But in combination with a hope that peace prevail, well, I hope his countrymen get the message and stop shooting at our guys and gals.
To: mewzilla
It was a bunch of "is it over yet" "is he dead yet" "can you consider it victory if Saddam is still alive" and questions trying to trip them up into making statements that the press could come back and say "gotcha" on the moment some wacko Saddamite with an AK-47 opens fire.
Unbelieveable but true... there are four anti-war protesters out in front of the Federal Building right now with their silly leftist signs.
Hey guys: TOO LATE!!!

I'll bet Hillary Rotten Clinton is angered beyond belief at this time.She has to be going out of her mind at the success of Freedom for the Iraqi people, and I couldn't feel better about that fact."Peet-uh The Lemming" is a piece of debris,and I can only wish I was near a TV to see a general give him grief! LOL

Hi Carolina, Thanks!
"wanker" discussion???Sounds naughty! Could you guide me to the aprox. post #?
To: Timeout
Boy, I am remembering how mad I was about them trashing the White House...and now I am even more mad, knowing all the stuff that we know about Iraq and that Clinton knew and DID NOTHING!!
I am going to the grocery. Back in a bit. Probably I will have 1,000 posts to read! LOL!
To: mewzilla
I missed it. What was up the WH press corps' collective butt this afternoon? I was in another room and am remarking just on the tone, rather than the actual words, as I couldn't hear that well. They sounded accusatory, as usual. As I said, if I had just woken up and flicked on the tv I would have thought Ari needed to account for some disaster that had happened overnight.
They are ticked at the success of this administration is what it comes down to. I don't think any questions about humanitarian aid or new leaders are sincere, or else they'd be asking about the children released from a children's prison yesterday, among other subjects.
They are mean-spirited jerks.

Good grief, the WH press corps is so clueless. They don't have the slightest idea what asses they're making of themselves. They make Marie Antoinette look clued in for pete's sake.
