[quote="Low spark":76cd0]Are you kidding me if we dropped someone that looked liked Monica on Iraq it would be a war crime.[/quote:76cd0]

It would probably leave a fairly large crater too.

Marines enters the Iraqi border right now and air raid sirens are heard around baghdad and kuwait

a small group of iraqis have surrendered to american troops at the kuwait border...this news i recieved from word of mouth

Reports right now saying once Marines enter, Iraqi troops is surrendering..... how's that for "protecting the country"

latest news,. gas attack kills 30 in irland

One thing ive noticed, is the iraqis are realy good drivers. on the live tv things, every one of them indicate at junctions, and none of them are driving at stupid speeds. I wish we had more of their drivers over here.

i love the night shots with the anti-aircraft fire, it looks so cool

no offense, but this news coverage is insane. its like a fuckin TV show

It is a TV show, it's all about ratings, truth in the News is secondary to profit.
Hilter would be proud of the way use our visual media to show the glory of conquest of war. I don't watch cable news at times like these I listen to NPR, and read reports form the BBC New Times Washington Post .....and other, When I do watch Cable news I absoulutly do not watch FOX.

HAW HAW HAW! Yep, same thing!

move to Detroit we have more middle-easterners anywhere outside the middle-east

I think Saddam Hussein picked me up in a cab last weekend...

Im pretty sick of the news coverage already. It the same story over and over as they have nothing else to talk about. They are STILL talking about the first strikes that were said to be aimed at saddam himself.
And then they come up with their theories on what will happen next yawn yawn
"The US officials will not release an official statement of their latest intentions"

OF COURSE THEY WONT! its a friggin war not a sports event.

And if i see the same footage of US troops loading a truck and folding a tent one more time i will scream. They show it everytime they talk about when US ground forces will move in.
And of course being the british news reporters, they wont shut up what they think the SAS are doing right now.

The saddest thing ive seen though was an interview today with former SAS man Andy McNab, and they had him blacked out to hide his identity. PLEASE! all you need to do is buy his book Immediate Action. there are pictures of him and some sqaud mates without the black line over their eyes.

This was a classic though: "The US F-117's more commonly known as stealth fighters are not completely infallible, if the iraqis throw up enough anti air fire, they might just hit one."

hake:

One thing i did find funny though, was when bush was making his speech that war had begun, i flicked over to channel five - Live coverage of NASCAR racing!! a channel for the rednecks biggrin:

i'm not watching anymore unless they show some paladins firing in stereo

i dont watch the news as much as some people

if you dont watch the news then you will miss all the good stuff, because you never know when something big will happen,

and i hate it when friends ask if i seen this or that on the news and i have to say no i missed it and then they go on about how cool it was and stuff

so your friends think that people getting killed is cool? Its not a computer game.

i like Fox News, as they say, it is "Fair and balanced"

Ha Ha, that's a good one. Mind if I use it. I know a lot of people that need a good laugh right now.

confirmed clashes with marines and iraqi soldiers
mass surrendering of iraqi conscipts almost inevitable says fox news

fox news also reports that iraqi troops enjoy bananas as opposed to iraqi rations

Fox News is balanced, at least a lot more than NBC...

It's still conservative though, and it needs to stay that way. We alredy have the Clinton/Communist News Network owning several stations.

lies i tell you, lies
 

The news channels in my opinion are biased anyways, gloriflying the war. I'm not saying i'm unpatriotic it's just that i don't like how we seem to use propaganda to exploit others and make us look better, personally i though this country had some class. I don't bother to listen to the bullshitters at cnn for any form of war coverage because like in desert storm the military intentionally mis informed the news in order to fool or trick the enemy which could be the case...by the way remind me who the REAL enemy is anyways.

watching a war.....lol WAR COVERAGE? its like survivor

yeah
 

just another one of those damn reality shows....exactly what we need

a US Marine Chinook has crashed killing 12 US and 4 british personell.

That isnt "cool"

pentagon said it was do to mechinical problems and not by hostile fire

bullshit, it was shot down. if it was mechanical that would be 3rd mechanical problem

Thankfully the death toll is now 12 and not 16, but it was 8 britons, not 4.

yeah, mechanical failure. 9 miles inside kuwait, and they were returning from a mission.

but no doubt saddam will have something to say about it.

If it truely was mechanical, we gotta start checking our choppers more carefully. Or better yet find an alternative to helicopters. Whatever happened to that plane that was for the Marines that could do vertical take offs and landings? The one in half life biggrin:

Well atleast their relatives can feel a little better after Bush said he "appreciates their sacrafice" oOo:

they the 3id is running into old t-72s from the gulf war. thats pretty crazy, like going through a graveyard.

my post is gone

Re: lies i tell you, lies
 

I was brought up watching the Vietnam unfold before my eyes every evening at 5:30 on the CBS evening news. I saw American men dying for no reason. I saw villages destoryed by napalm. I saw veterans come home in shame, and if a vet came home and said the war was wrong, he was spat on by veterans of both the Korean war and WWII(My father quit the VFW because of their treatment of the Viet Nam Vets).

What do I see to day, I see a media that is showing off the might of Amerrica in all its glory much like the Nazis and the old Soviet Union did. I see media with all the retired generals, colonels, shoe shines, sitting build up all these wondeful scenerios about how this unit will this this "smart " bomb will do that.

What I don't see is mention of the 500.000 Iraqi childern that WE have already killed, or the fact that the can't even fix their water treatment plants because of Our Sanctoins

Sure Saddam is a tryant and an evil man who put him in power who supplied him with the technolgy for WMDs who turned the eyes the other way why he gassed the Kurds. Are we really any better than him.
Why do the Kurds fear Turkey more than Saddam, who really cares?


Finally I do pray that our troops stay out of harms way, and when they come home they are embraced and loved, because they cannot be held responsible for follow the orders of a man that would use lies and deceptions to start an unjust war.

I know that some of you are going to call me unpatrotic , a pussy, or watever. But I have news for you I am an AMERICAN, and I will use my FREEDOM OF SPEECH(until Ashcroft gets his way) to disagree with MY government when I think they are WRONG?

Sorry my wife had one of the cable propaganda channels on when I got home. oops I meany news.

couldnt have said it better low spark
