"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!

[mhking]

Pretty chicken's on the BagCam again, eh? No flak vest this time?

[crobnson]

Doesn't this guy know he has thousands (millions) of people watching him?

[Dog]

Fox News: Mohammad Al-Douri UN ambassador for Iraq has fled to FRANCE!!!!!!

[retrokitten]

I swear I would've called it and told him what an ass he was making of himself.

Let's wait awhile on telling him what a dork he is. Then we can laugh at him longer.

[Catspaw]

Yes, The Mother of All Combovers is on his way to France.

I wonder if he'll meet up with the Coneheads.

[Timeout]

I'm beginning to think Liz is having a little fun with Pretty Chicken! Keepin' him waiting...........


God, is he a pompous ass or what?!

[Fledermaus]

Figures!

[angelwings49]

Good -- they deserve each other :)

[Petronski]

Yes, we spell it combover, but the correct Arabian transliteration is "Al-Khomovar."

[mhking]

Doesn't this guy know he has thousands (millions) of people watching him?

Probably not - it would deflate his ego if he knew....

[Dog]

I think the FBI needs to grab this guy quick.....

[Consort]

Combover alert.

[Fledermaus]

Can we shoot his plane out of the sky?

[melodie]

what a peice of shi# that guy is

[crobnson]

Underground bunker? The slight possibility that SH THINKS he's being sneaky? (That's of course if he isn't worm food)

[Carolina]

Just got back from church...Combover making for France, huh. Guess ole Jack has a villa waiting for him.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Xavier Becerra, a member of the socialist Progressive Caucus, on H&C tonight? To host a defender of dictators and tyrants, on this day?! Xavier and his buddies defend Castro and Chavez, and fight against Miguel Estrada's nomination to the court. They are enemies of freedom, and truth. (GRRR, too!)

Un-American Progressive Caucus Members

[amom]

LOL Just got back to the cam and what do I see? lolol What's he doing? Darn that wind...darn that hair.

[najida]

Mohammed Al-Khomovar has fled to France! Bwa ha ha ha ha!

Why is that NOT a suprise?

[Petronski]

Can we shoot his plane out of the sky?

No. The way things are going, he'll be flying coach.
