"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

Anyone heard from Ahmed?

Wasn't that Ahmed riding the head of Saddam as it was pulled through the town circle?

"I'm going to miss Baghdad Bob."

I'm sad that we haven't seen him today. I looked forward to his daily words of delirium.

I see the military took my advice. I said they should pack a LOT of American flags.

It appears as though the draping of the American flag over the face of Saddam today hasn't caused a stir.....I was sure that it would be used to some extent by the propogandists...

I get the feeling that Baghdad Bob didn't get out of the garage this morning when he realized that Saddam and the boys left the planet.

Anyone else just see Jeff Goldblatt on Fox Report? He's in Dearborn, MI at the big celebration. He said the only time it got ugly is when Al-Jezeera showed up. A bunch of the former Iraqi's started shouting that Al-Jezeera spreads lies.

I am looking at the front page of Al-Jazeera's english language website. Here are some of the stories they are headlining.

Anarchy amid the euphoria
Will US manufacture evidence of WMD's.
Dead Correspondant was deliberately targeted

oh... and they say they bring us fair and balanced news on the site. Good grief.

I agree with the first part, but I'm guessing some Iraqis tore down the "Human Shield" sign and wrote the wankers part on it. They probably were educated in Britain and thus the U.S. wanker reference.

I hope those Brit. human shields are not still in Baghdad...the freed Iraqis might kill the "peaceniks." Did you see the happy crowds in Dearborn? A few Iraqi exiles were restrained by Mich. police to keep them from attacking an Al Jazeera reporter. They are not happy with a press that lied for Saddam all these years. I hope AP and BBC are paying attention.

Similar happened in s. Iraq earlier today. Reporters (I think also Al Jazeera) where chased across the border and the Kuwaiti police had to protect them.
