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

"What I want to know is, how come looters always steal doors"
That'd probably be my item of choice if I lived under Saddam and his goons kicking mine in for 30 odd years. :)

I won't believe it until they come up with some DNA evidence - but I hope and pray that it is true!

Whatever their building is called in Baghdad. They called it headquarters on Fox. :)

OH !!Has this been discussed?
IMHO, the new tape of OBL calling for suicide bombers to attack in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and ?? is a GREAT sign. In the past, he's always taken an "us" against "them" stance... All of us Holy Arabs unite against the Western Infidels !! But seeing that we ARE going to get this job done, he is now pissed at his "Arab" bretheren for not stopping the Infidels. So he's calling on his fanatics to attack "their own." Can't get much more desperate than that. And IMHO, that is a GREAT sign.

I've often made fun (good, clean fun) of Shep, but I watch him, and tonight I thought he was right on with his comments regarding journalists. I like it when he gets fired up like that. And sometimes I find it funny when he talks about "magical policemen", I can't help it. ;-) But I still watch him.

I can't understand why all these media losers are handwringing about the looters. Personally it fills my heart with joy! THEY ARE NOT AFRAID! Wonderful! It will settle down soon enough.

Stealing cars, chairs, rugs, furniture, guns, anything and everything that isn't nailed down is walking today.Hopefully its not from the stores. All the Shiites should bring their wagons, carts, Toyotas to the nearest Ba'ath party HQ and load up.

the theivery etc is very good therapy for them. working out thier anger & partially a feeling of getting a small little piece of what they have been cheated out of for years And, as Ollie mentioned, a good reason not to put in the "provisional government" too soon -- let them get that, and their understandable "retaliation" attacks on the Ba'athists out of their systems, without the new govt. having to take the blame.

Things are going good when Iraqis are looting the UN building in Bagdad, stomping on statues of Hussein, and our troops asking Laurie Dhue for her digits.
Troop on Fox just out of highschool..."I'm happy to be here. After looking on these people's faces, I don't care what those people are saying back home."
