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

Forces move into northern Iraq
By Tim Ripley, at US Central Command, in Qatar
Published: April 9 2003 17:14 | Last Updated: April 9 2003 17:14
As US tank columns headed into the heart of Baghdad on Wednesday, American commanders were turning their attention to finishing off the Iraqi regime in its 'tribal heartland' of Tikrit.
An advanced brigade of the US Army's 4th Infantry Division is already motoring north out of Kuwait and "within days" will be moving past Baghdad ready to launch what could be the last battle of the war.
Helicopters and C130 Hercules have also been ferrying the division's troops, supplies and equipment into forward airstrips deep inside Iraq to bolster the drive north. More troops from the division will be close on their heels, giving America's Middle East commander, Tommy Franks, the troops needed to punch past Tikrit to occupy Mosul and Kirkuk in the sensitive Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
US officers say that the Iraqi Republican Guard's Adnan Division retreated to Tikrit with a number of senior figures in the regime, suggesting that a bloody battle could be expected. However, once Tikrit is overrun they expect a less resistance in Kirkuk and Mosul, where some 100,000 regular army troops are understood to be keen to surrender to US soldiers rather than Kurdish peshmerga fighters.
The Adnan division is now the main focus of US airpower, with almost around the clock air strikes being launched against the last large formation of the once feared Republic Guard now in the field.
