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!

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.Shep is good. I love to hear Brit Hume. But THE BEST coverage is whenever Brigitte Quinns beautiful face is on fox.

Hot guy in camo alert....
Combover expanded a bit, informally. The game is over, the war is over. I have no direct communication with Saddam. I hope the people of Iraq have a happy peace. (paraphrased from FoxNews report - 15:45)

"I wonder how he will spin today's events?"
He's probably deep in consultation with Baghdad Bob as we speak... trying to get their story straight!
To: TheExploited
Oh Maddona-mia, your joking right?
To: Timeout
Just for today. Sorties for just today I would geuss at around 1,000. Just a pure guess, based on the number of targets remaining.
To: melodie
combover says the war is over and he has no relationship with saddham....He CAN'T be serious--oh, yeah, he's toast. And he sure as heck doesn't want to go back to Baghdad.
To: two23
I love Shep too. The Shep bashers really aggravate me and I become very protective.
To: hobson
Mohammed Al-Khomovar just said it again:
"The Game is Over. The War is Over. I have no communication with Saddam or Iraq."

Rummy didn't hear Combover's statement. But, Combover's statement was not a formal one. Combover is ambassador to the UN. No authority to surrender, any more than our ambassador to the UN does.
To: retrokitten
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.Well, of course it depends on what woman has the ceegar. It certainly does not fit with every woman, lol! Some women look disgusting with it. But you know how it is--the magazines covers always have some total babe puffing a ceegar.

He's no Baghdad Bob. Bob wouldn't wimp out and admit the war is over.
