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

I think he's going to hold up in his fancy NY apartment and cry all night.
He's so full of himself. He acted like Iraq and the people were not of his concern. "I hope THEY live in peace" he said.
What a total jerk.
I wish we'd go to his NY home and arrest him for being a moron. Then take him to Iraq and throw him in the middle of Baghdad.
To: Fledermaus
I got a kick out of how that DUmmy poster thought the Saddam statues were some sort of great art that has to be preserved. The fact is those Saddam statues were TACKY as hell. They reminded me of that movie where some dictator collected velvet paintings as if they were some great artworks.

Anyone who considers that statue to be "art" has got to be blind as well as DUmb.

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?"

PJ, I am so glad you're willing to visit DU. They are a lost bunch, and we need to be vigilant...keep that red button away from them.
Since when do we destroy art? Even if it is of Sadam?
That's priceless!
Just the other day I was looking at the really bad Saddam art in Baghdad thinking that perhaps it would finally convince a few Democrats to support the war.
Regime change at journalism schools and art schools.
It's a start. (^:
