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.

To: retrokitten
Actually, I read a post which dissed the children's prison story with "But what about the kid with his arms blown off by one of *OUR* bombs?" and then ranted on and on about how the media won't show that to us because they are so biased.
Basically the opinion over there is any thing bad about Saddam is our Propaganda and all the heaps of negative about the US is being suppressed. (gag)

I think this is the shot that may bring the Arabs into the 20th century That's what I think, too. It's going to be rocky, but it will happen.
I think we have seen a great President in action. I've been happy all day. Particularly since my liberal friends and acquaintances have not dared to say a word about this.
But then, that's the liberal way of dealing with this incredible, world-changing event.

I'm not convinced that kid was harmed by one of our bombs.
To: justshe
ABC News reported on the joyous Iraqis in Baghdad today and I was curious. How can they make this a negative thing? This was the negative part of their take on the liberation: "The coalition earned badges (sarcastic tone) killing Iraqis. Now they must switch gears and LEARN to be peacekeepers."
To: ChewedGum
They will never be happy.
