"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.

This is the Daily Thread of Operation Iraqi Freedom - Situation Room - LIVE THREAD.

It is designed for general conversation about the events of the day. In depth discussion of events should be left to individual threads - but links to the threads or other articles is highly encouraged. This allows us to stay abreast of the situation in general, while also providing a means of obtaining specific information.

Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help!  If you post graphics, please "size" them so that our browsers continue to load the rest of the thread!

This clearly shows the hipprocisy (sp) of the left. These kids need some help!

[ztiworoh]

In some ways, that picture disturbs me, I know it's his happiness, but it just looks alittle creepy.

[TomGuy]

Colmes is a typical liberal. He kept interrupting every time Regan tried to make a point--and then he jumped on defending Clinton. Colmes can't admit that Somolia is DIRECTLY related to the events of today.

[pitinkie]

I love it!

[johnb838]

BUT THEY SLAMMED THE PRESIDENT AND THE MILITARY IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD br>
Thank goodness for video tape.

[Cboldt]

Did McFarlane say Saddam was in "Latakia" or Syria? Latakia is tobacco, cured over camel-shit smoke (like the camel, errr, stuff, in a smoke house, and cure the tobacco leaves in there). I am not impressed with this dip.

[Sacajaweau]

I'll take him Monday Wednesday & Friday. You get Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. On Sunday, he can pray that we see the light!

Tell ex to post him with belly girl tomorrow!!!!!

[jayef]

not quite

[ztiworoh]

Im sure he's smart, but he's just not very stimulating to watch...

[alnick]

Alan Colmes is DYING. Just said Pelosi supported the war from the beginning!

Yeah, and when Sean or Michael Raegan said that the democrats had been wrong, again, Colmes said that no, many democrats voted for the war back in October. Allan whined and whined and whined about how he was against this war. He's proven wrong, and then tries to take credit by citing that some congressional 'rats voted for the war.

[Consort]

Wasn't Latakia that guy on Taxi?

[ztiworoh]

That was Latka Gravis I believe

[Fledermaus]

The only reason they voted "yes" in Oct 2002 was to "be on record" so slime like Colmes can say "they voted for it".

You know darn well that if this had gond badly, Colmes would be saying, "The Dems were warning us, they were being more cautious"...blah blah blah

[GOPyouth]

I wonder if Ollie and Bud have mended fences.

[TomGuy]

Yes, he is in meltdown. But its good, he is showing what the Dem playbook will be. All of a sudden, Pelosi and Kerry and all the rest are "for the war". Next he will claim the peace protestors were for it too!

Alan does the same old Clintoneze spin that the Dems have been trying for years. It doesn't work any more, but they don't get it, they don't realize, they don't understand--but the people do.

[Consort]

Isn't Latakia a Baltic country?

[retrokitten]

You have FReepmail!

[WIladyconservative]

Hey, everyone we have a new Freeper...my son Jonathan...he's at Ft. McCoy awaiting deployment.

And he's receiving care packages from a WI Freeper Lady who shall remain nameless . . .(smile).
He's a great guy and we are all proud of him!
