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.

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!

Well, the sun came out today, so I suppose they wanted to take advantage of the weather. Now I know what unemployed Seattle-ites do when the rain stops!

Morbidly, I am quite looking forward to Robert Fisk's alice-in-wonderland column today from the Independent. I wonder how he will spin today's events?

To: Dog
he war is not over....Tikrit.....Mosul....Kirkuk...need to be liberated.
And the war goes on.. Ayup. Our troops are working as we speak. Haven't heard how many sorties, but I'd guess in the 800-1,200 range, with at least 400 of them being bombing runs against the RG.

FNC showing celebrating Iraqis in Detroit. Many getting ready to go back to Iraq.
Can we "liberate" Mexico now?

Fox coverage between 11:00 PM and 3:00 AM is great!
Shep's late 2 hour segment of the war coverage is THE BEST.

You're right, they were kind of lame questions :).
To: rumrunner
I remember people in my office saying (during the Clinton / Monica Lewinski trist) "I elected a president, not a husband" and said they didn't care about what he did in his private time. I think this whole thing shows that morality does matter and you have to have someone in charge that you can trust, because we (joe citizen) aren't going to have all the information to make a decision.
Clinton taught our young people that oral sex was ok.
Bush is teaching our young people to stand up to your convictions - despite what others think. I couldn't be more proud!
To: cyncooper
Here's another good one:
Samantha Sheppard, 28, a soldier with the 2nd Light Tank Regiment, smiles as she receives a flower from an Iraqi man during a patrol on the streets of east Basra, southern Iraq.

Really? Why?
I really don't like cigarette smoking, because it gives me gross breath and makes me kind of light-headed. I have heard that cigars are different.

A reporter on FNC yesterday said, "we can't see a flower for miles yet the Iraqi people present them to the soldiers. Where do they get them?"

"He had a couch cushion I think and the kid was running into it and bouncing off over and over again while saying "Fair and Balanced.""
That's right, I remember that now :).
I especially enjoyed seeing Brit having a happy family moment like that as I was so pained for him when his son Sandy died. He was so proud when Sandy would appear on the show early in its run...what a tragedy that was.
