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.

I'm sure he is in this country only as long as we permit. The wheels usually turn slow, faster when there is threat. The new Iraq regime will decide who to sent to represent its interests at the UN.

>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?"
BTW i think it was Oliver North that reported that.

I have no communication with Saddam.... Quick! Someone buy that man a Ouija board or at the very least put him in contact with John Edwards (the guy from Crossing Over not from Congress).

"The Game is Over. The War is Over. I have no communication with Saddam or Iraq." Alan Keyes was US ambassador to the United Nations Social and Economic Council
US ambassador to the UN now is John Negroponte
These folks are not in a position to surrender their country to anybody!

Jonah Goldberg (NRO) has a truly wicked sense of irony:
________________________________________________________
Iraqis are cheering in the streets.
The Minister of Information is dressed like a woman in the back of a chicken truck barrelling for the Syrian border, explaining to the flock that the infidel invaders are being slaughtered in the desert.
Jacques Chirac snorted his cafe au lait through his nose when he turned on CNN this morning. He turned to al Jazeera, but there were still Iraqis dancing in the streets.
Janeane Garafolo is shopping for knee pads because she promised to crawl on broken glass to Fox News and apologize if this happened. She'll weasel out, but that's okay because Iraqis are beating statues of Saddam with their shoes.
The wobbly hawks like Josh Marshall are wondering why they switched teams in the third quarter. Maureen Dowd still doesn't get it, but it takes more than a war to make her understand. But that's okay because kids have been released from the Tyke Gulag -- and the gang at the Nation need to come up with a reason why that's a bad thing.
Antiwar protestors are circling their picnic blankets and fingering the dregs of their trail mix bags, wondering what to do next like dogs whose food bowl's been moved. They'll figure something out, alas. But they'll have to explain how sanctions and inspections would have resulted in Iraqis cheering in the streets.
The war isn't over, of course. Our troops who've made us all so proud are still in harms way. Tikrit must be deloused. Weapons must be found. And the really hard work of making Iraq a decent country must still get underway. But you can't take away from the fact that today is a very good day.

But once there's a new government/administration in place, THEY'LL pick their own UN ambassador to the UN.
(hint: it won't be Combover)

That is really great.

When does he put those thread up?
No particular schedule. He has been doing about 1 a day for the last week or so. Occasionally, he'd get 2 up in a day. I'm on his ping list but he usually puts them in "breaking news" as well.
To: retrokitten
Wouldn't you LOVE to be able to write like that...on the run!
