[OFFICIAL] Operation Iraqi Freedom - Conflict in Iraq

[zul-aid]

Two songs by Metallica

Disposable Heroes

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `till I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blind man

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blind man

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here


I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blind man

Back to the front.

One

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside i feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up i can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Back in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that i must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god, wake me
Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh god, help me hold my breath as i wish for death
Oh please god help me

Darkness imprisoning me

All that i see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

Ha, I was just watching the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), and they seemed to have uncovered the whole story as well as Bush's plans to attack full-fledged tomorrow well before all the US stations.
And, the only thing they are doing is poking around outside the Whitehouse

 

[KingPaulV]

oops sorry I made another thread...................Rhizome.........ABC, CNN are reporting that the strike was a "decapitation' strike aimed at taking out Hussein.......we'll have to wait and see the results.........if possitive I will be jumping for joy.....I,magine if they got him in one scoop.........


I wont be much too joyious until I see what happened

 

[Rob]

It has begun.

 

[rhizome17]

Lets hope the CBC find the roadmap for peace in Palestine too, cos Bush has misplaced it.

Yeah, but I would be surprised if they got him so easily...but like you say, I would be happy enough if that was all it took. Trouble is, if he has all those doubles...and apparently he hasn't slept in the same place on consecutive nights since the last gulf war.

....

Now they are showing a pretty cool and detailed bio on both sides military/weaponry.


edit: the US soldier may be packing ladders, battering-rams, and battleaxes if they go into Baghdad....seriously.
I can handle that kind of war: Whatever happened to good old knights, castles, archers, scurvy, the plauge, and the like?

 

[Rob]

This war is gonna be so bloody. If Iraq do use the tatic like the Soviets did in WW2, Fortifing them selves at Slatingrad.

 

[zul-aid]

Here in Australia we are getting live feeds of Fox News and CNN on our Sky News problem is all I have to do is to turn to the next 2 channels and I get Fox News and CNN (actual channels themselves)

Three Channels and the same **** -

THERE ARE THREATS OF AUSSIES AND AMERICANS GONNA BE KILLED IN INDONESIA YET THEY REPORT THE WAR - INDONESIA IS THE HUB FOR ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS.

There are only three principles of warfare: Audacity, Audaciy, and Audacity!

- Gen. George C. Patton

Come on, boys, and grab your sabers
Come on, boys, and ride with me.
Give the cry of "Garry Owen,"
Make your place in history.

- Author unknown, Vietnam 1965

There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is all hell.

- William Tecumseh Sherman

War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.

- Ernest Hemingway

I did not mean to be killed today.

- dying words of Vicomte de Turenne, at the Battle of Salzbach, 1675

In war, truth is the first casualty.

- Aeschylus

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

- Plato

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.

- Shakespeare, Henvy V, Act IV, Scene 3

 

[Rob]

They have a movie on Stalingrad?
How old is it? and Whos in it?

(Back to the topic)

What if Saddam has already been taken out? That was the objective with this Strike.

 

[Rob]

Just a suggestion to one of the admins to Sticky this topic, because we are going to get heap of War Threads, or a subforum, so the other forum isnt flooded with topics on war. Its very depressing

 

[Krypton X]

Ahh crap, they've started bombing Baghdad already. We need to get rid of Bush pronto before he wreaks more havoc, quick someone hand me a pretzel.

Man, i'm woried about my relo's back in Iraq, most of them live in Mosul which is around 400 km north of Baghdad but i've got a few cousins in the capital. I managed to call up a few of them yesterday afternoon (baghdad time), its probably the last time i'll get the chance to talk to them before communications facilities get decimated.
Surprisingly they didn't sound too worried (they were making kebabs in the backyard) but they tried to change the subject everytime i started talking about the war, there's no doubting that they're atleast pretty nervous about whats to come, this is outright occupation, unlike any war before it.

Baghdad now seems like a ghost town, everyone who could afford to leave the place already did, almost all fled to Syria, the only country willing to take them in so far, but the Syrians closed their borders yesterday and Turkey and Iran are hopefully expected to open up theirs to refugees later on.

May God have mercy on the innocent civilians cause sure as hell nobody else will.

Enermy at the Gate

Jude Law and Rachel Wiez

A Russian Sniper and A German Sniper go at each other

 

[rhizome17]

There is Enemy at the Gates, plus a better one, but older, simply called 'Satalingrad'.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

The Iraqi army is going to surrender pretty quickly. I was kind of cracking up when they said the battle strategy was just to bypass Iraqi troops and go straight to Bagdad, then just lay seige to it, so I don't think many people will die actually. I guess the elite fighting troops couldn't surrender fast enough in the Gulf War. I'm not worried about casualties, I'm just worried that the U.N. is now pretty irrelevant.

 

[Rob]

How long you think this war will last?
I think 5 - 6 weeks.

They will get bogged up in Bagdhad, the other cities and major places will simply just get rolled over.

135 American Soldiers died in the first Gulf War, and so did endless Iraqi civilians;

America has bigger and better bombs this time

Also during the Afghanistan war American Pilots were given speed to keep them awake and going during long flights problem was everytime they saw a light on the ground they would shoot first before comfermation about the target they ended up killing afew Canadian allies that way.
