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.

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.

I'm not so sure he meant that figuratively. Can you imagine a platoon of marines, armed to the tits, being approached by 10-15 ragheaded Iraqis waving scimitars?? HAW HAW!

Platoon Leader: "Do they have swords? Am I seeing this?"

Private: "Yes sir. Scimitars, I think they're called, sir."

Platoon Leader: "Hmm...yeah. Ok. Fuck this, OPEN FIRE!"

biggrin:

It's like Indiana Jones when that dude with the sword in tunisha. He just whips out the .38 and wastes him... lol

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

Slaughter · 03-20-2003, 06:07 PM

i dont watch the news as much as some people

1080jibber · 03-20-2003, 06:14 PM

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
