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 just sent an email to CBS to tell (Ahmed) thank you from the members of Free Republic. No, I didn't tell them the name that we call him, only that we had "named" him.

To: Spunky
Somewhat ironic that a "Spunky" would provide education relating to the word "Wanker."

Over 50% of Iraq is under the age of 20
Iraqis cheer the arrival of U.S. Army forces to their neighborhood in Baghdad, Iraq Wednesday, April 9, 2003.

I think you may be right, too. The DOD waited a full 24 hours after that strike before releasing that info with a TON of info about how it happened. Within 24 hours things changed and people started coming out. We'll eventually see someday.

Dish's owner was one of Gore's largest contributors. Plus, you only need one dish with DirecTV to get HDTV. With Dish, you need two.
