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.

Oh my sunshine, I am old enough to be your momma. I have a child born in the same year as yourself. Two children older than you. Here is a very positive spin for you. I can retire before you (a long time before you :) )

Hey! Have pity on us poor people on dialup.
To: kcvl
I want to revive this excellent quote this morning, from Brit Hume, in response to a correspondent who suggested the fall of Baghdad would turn attention to the Palestinian problem:
BRIT HUME: "I do not believe those Iraqi citizens were dancing on that statue because they suddenly have renewed hope about a resolution to the Palestinian problem."
THAT'S GOLD! Thank God for Brit Hume.

I have decided that Democrats are toxic. They are sort of like those people they tell you drain your energy and spirit if you are around them for an extended period of time. (This is based on Senator Levin's comments playing locally on Michigan news radio. He's lecturing on how we need to restore our image among Arab countries now, that we have to be careful, etc. etc. etc.)
To: All
Oh Boy, Pretty Chicken is at it again :)
To: Petronski
Wasn't that wonderful?! He also wondered what Chirac, Schroeder and Putin were saying while watching the Iraqi people tear down that statue of the MONSTER. You KNOW they were watching.

Boy Bush and company could really run with images from this war outcome in Paradise Square- "Love Fest" for the next election.. I could just see and hear it now-- the song:
Get on Board- join hands on the --Love train--Love train.

Reminds me of the airline commercial after 9/11 where all the employees were reciting Bush's speech like he was Chairman Mao and they were Chinese. It was a great commercial for our victory in 2002.
