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.
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.

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!

I sent an email a couple of weeks ago, too. Asked CNN to have their correspondent go to the Not-Light cam when Baghdad was free and seek out the men tending the camera. I told them we'd named him Achmed, I think, but it was a nice note.
Only problem, even if they did, I wouldn't see it unless they sent me a notice. I NEVER watch CBS.

You don't live to a ripe old age in Saddam's armies.

To: Tree of Liberty
Yup. Those comments came from people watching tv to see what's going on in Iraq.

I'm not a satellite or dish participant, as a user, investor or otherwise. Not defending that fact, just admitting ingnorance and disinterest.
Al Gore is a loser. I hope we put him in jail for his crimes, but doubt it'll ever happen.
To: DocRock
Fox just said we dropped a MOAB
