"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!

Geraldo is in Kuwait City, and judging from the big grin on his face the last time I saw him on FNC, my hunch is he will be embedded with part of the 4th ID, reporting on the Battle of Tikrit.

Shep might have an overall point, but he's comparing apples and oranges in relation to journalists and the 6yr olds. The journalists, as far as I know, were always free to leave the country and get out of harms way. The girls never had that opportunity.

One letter that Shep read essentially said the reporters deserved to die. I suspect the person who wrote the e-mail didn't mean to express that. It's easy to pick on inaccurate expressions.

Okay, I remember that letter.

I like Shep, but he can be very dramatic at times.

I am disgusted that Ricky was thrown out.

I'm finally trying to catch up on comments here. Ricky blew it with the hat, IMO.

I'm behind, but I distinctly recall this "it's thanks to clinton's military" garbage being offered up during the breathtaking Afghanistan action and the dems pathetically tried to hitch their wagon to the success.

Nobody bought it then and they certainly won't buy it now.

However, forewarned is forearmed. It wouldn't do to let them say things like that unchallenged.

You think? My daughters called me right after the show and were upset about Ricky being eliminated. Their theory is that most people didn't vote for him because they figured he would already have enough votes. Once I heard Simon describe Ricky as the nicest contestant in the competition. Wish Kimberly Caldwell had been eliminated. She is pretty but really isn't the best female singer. I think Kimberly Locke has the best voice. Oh well, most will do well now anyway from the exposure.

It gave a whole new meaning and not a very favorable one to the cognomen Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation!

Hey, at least they're honest and up-front about it. That's one thing I admire about BBC News.

In terms of bias, I've found that while the BBC World Service is no Fox News Channel, it's a heck of a lot better than ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/NPR.

Did I spout that nonsense about Fox and a gauntlet? I must have been sleep deprived, although I really wish Fox would have had one to ease my conscience about watching the CBS webcam. Nevertheless, here's to O Reilly:
