"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!

"...who it was that kept saying that the Iraqis hated Americans and wouldn't put up for us being there? "

Isn't that the damn truth? No matter how well they dress that witch up, there is only ONE thing/reason at the bottom of ALL her answers.

Well, I haven't seen one of those "sky is falling" types that has been right yet.

It looks to me like those people LIKE us.

Other than a hug from their spouse & kids, these soldiers want ONE THING right now.  Do your part.  Have a soldier over for a steak when they come home.

Our FoxNews just went to bluescreen w/ EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM - just flashed on the TV. Nothing followed. No, "this is a test." Odd.

Earlier Thread of Iraq War Pics that Diogenesis posted!
Great pictures there of Iraqis being Liberated !!

Here are a couple, for example. The one on the right? "Beat it, Saddam !" . . .


In Umm Qasr, heroes AND Iraqis remove portraits of Saddam.

April 8th Thread of Iraq War Pics

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING TO SEE THESE ELSEWHERE

In Basra, Iraqis are FREE.
They are happy and dancing - except where the European and American media
are pushing antiAmerican comments and then taping it - and skipping some of these pics.

Clinton will take credit for "preparing the groundwork for this".

Yes; he prepared the way for Saddam to get his military arms from France, Germany, Russian, and China. Clinton also gave away military secrets to North Korea, aiding their nuclear weapons ability; inviting Arafat to the White House, more than any other individual--someone who Bush never allowed to step one foot inside the White House. Clinton refused to take Bin Laden, when offered on a silver platter.
