Re: Insurgent sniper video...

I'm not planning on seeing it. I understand what sniping is all about. I would happy however to watch some of our boys sniping. I would love to help out. If the DEMs win the elections then maybe I can help out here at home as the enemy infitrates with kit gloves by the new administration.. :|

Oddjob,
I have great respect for you powerful opinion.I will take it for what it is worth.
Maybe it is time for you to put your person where your opinion is. Why don't you sign up and go fight the war you so deeply believe in.Certainly,a person as strongly convinced of the justness of this war as you are, must make a difference on the battlefield.
Why wait for the democrats to win the election?They will invite the enemy to come to your doorstep.It is better for you to go to Iraq and destroy them there!

Rolmops, I got goosebumps reading your post. As a vet I inquired many years ago about reinlisting into the reserves. I think I was 33 then. They laughed and said they wouldnt take me as there was plently of young fresh men on waiting lists for all branches. Even Marines are now required to have a GED, maybe better I'm not sure. So until the military is desparite, I can only support our troops and this country as a verbal combatant here from the homefront where the anti-war/anti America festers like a virus from within the safety of our borders.

I think the enlistment age limit got bumped to 39 or 42, it was 33 when I went in.

a link I found.
maybe some of the folks that holler the loudest and are ready to fight will now see thay can still sign up and go fight. its the patriotic thing to do.
GED waivers are avalible as well, chat with any recuiter.

:} while the video is in poor taste it was sent to CNN...... BS stay tuned

That's irrelavant. Many news organizations receive videos such as these and never play them to the public. It doesn't excuse the behavior.

But CNN is not news. It is entertainment based on the news. Anyone that watches CNN with an eye toward being informed about anything is an idiot.

I have been out of the country since March. I knew the American news media was edited but I had no idea how much so. What the US gets as "news" is sanitized beyond your wildest dreams. France probably does about as good a job as any at quality visual images. Only thing the French are good for...that and the weird-assed name for that deep purple color.

So how do you rate the BBC?

The BBC just issued a statement (yesterday) saying that their internal liberal bias and anti-American sentiment is so deeply entrenched in the BBC staff and culture that they (the BBC) don't believe they will ever be able to provide unbiased reporting. That is the BBC's opinion. Mine opinion about their reporting is not much different, tho I tune in the BBC because the only other alternative is CNN where I am.

Literally heard it on the tube news last night, in an airport hotel. Don't know what channel, had whatever was on in English in the background. I'm thinking it was the BBC itself.
When I get a chance I'll see if I can find it on the BBC's website.

I think you have mistaken my post, i can say without any question cnn played a central role in this vid,,,,,,,,,, and just as rather paid the price for his amature attempt in mudslinging so will they.
