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.

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!

Shep picked some lame letters to critique, relating to journalist performance.

Right on, Shep.

Since we didn't even get close to 7000, I am taking a short break. Catch you on the next thread.
To: GOPyouth
Alan C., eh?
As in Alan Colmes?
To: Poser
Give him a break. He's on an all-terrain in the middle of nowhere. Hasn't slept a lot regularly(until last night he said). No entertainment. Out of regular surroundings. EAting and breathing sand. Hasn't had a shower in whenever.
No wonder he might obsess about food a bit. Maybe he was also concerned about the troops, that's where his preoccupation stems as well.......
Let's give him a BIG benefit of doubt, as he is doing some of the Lord's work right now. Bringing us the news from the only channel that's not wringing its hands about our losses......Lighten up on Rick and snacks. Better yet, send him some when he gets back!!! :)

Oh yes. It's never the journalists fault. Okay, so I can give Mr. Chicken the benefit of the doubt. He had a minder 24/7. What about the journalists embedded in studios? Their venom had nothing to do with truth. It was cut video and agendas. Give it up Shep.

Maybe it is wind. You have to admit..the Iraqis know how to be jubilant and party down.

Methinks neither William McKinley or Alan C. were the birth names of those e-mailers to Shep....
