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!

You may get it.
Sky News: US Military-premature to say Battle of Baghdad is over.
To: dsmtoday
new report from bunkerbuster bomb crater - no sign of Saddam or his sons, but they did find Jimmy Hoffa Well, then do you think there is a new "Al Capone's vault" job out there for Heraldo Rivera? He can dig up Saddam Hussein's debris pile on prime time TV.

Is that a quote?
To: cgk
This is apparently a huge insult, or punishment in Islam. Good point. Isn't it rude / insulting to "show the bottom of your feet" in Middle Eastern countries? Thus, it is rude to cross your legs like men do because it points the bottom of the show towards someone.
To: Straight Vermonter
I agree, but now that even the Baghdad police are noticeably gone, there is looting at the UN and other places I think the minders are realizing right now they are unemployed.
To: Consort
Oh oh getting rowdy now, Guy in Sultan suit looks so out of place.
To: fellowpatriot
Sure. You can quote me. LOL

The feet are unconsidered unclean. It actually goes back to the Torah. Look up the passage in Exodus where Moses is told to remove his sandals since he's standing on holy ground. Its thousands of years old.
