Disturbing video from Iraq

CNN? ^ | unknown | CNN?

Please excuse the vanity post, but a Swedish fellow I've been debating with for the last year over the conflict in Iraq sent me this Windows media file as proof of "war crimes" committed by our troops in the recent fighting.

CLICK HERE for the video clip.

I could use input on this particular event, if anyone has any context in which this clip could be put into. We all know how the media, combined with modern video technology, can make anything look like anything, and I could use some information to use against this and what it seems to portray.

Thanks,

Joe Brower

Also, ask your friend how many Iraqis died as a result of Sweden's sweetheart deals with Saddam's Oil for Food Prgram.

Looks like somebody has gone to the Michael Moore Film Editing School.

Thanks for trying Joe. Still cant get Netscape to bring it up though.

[Vision]

No bias there

Try Explorer, I could not get Netscape to work either, but it worked for me using explorer.

Wondering where you got the info that US snipers are shooting to wound?

[Pompah]

Screw cnn. And that Swedish fellow too.

I'll stand with our guy's.

Don't kill American kids. It pisses their friends off.

Around here, we say "Don't draw incoming fire. It annoys the people around you."

[Iron Matron]

Where's the alleged "war crime?"
****

Has anyone noticed that the War in Vietnam did not have "war crimes" committed by our Soldiers until Nixon started letting our Soldiers KILL the VIETCONG?

LIBERALS,DEMOCRATS,SOCIALISTS, all of them believe that war crimes are "killing the enemy", but if the enemy is allowed to slaughter our Soldiers they are "oppressed, or freedom fighters".

It is about time we quit giving in to the anti-american left and took our country back and KILLED THE ENEMY.

Now that I have watched the clip again I do find it deeply disturbing that at least a couple of the jarheads appear to be shooting "high" as their rounds appear to go over the guy and into the field beyond. Even allowing for the possibility of return fire, we expect better marksmanship than that!

Clearly, a mandatory course during elementary, middle and high school in basic through advanced firearms training is required in order to protect the children of America (yes, for the children). Naturally, firearms/ammo/other required supplies would be provided by the State. Write your Senators and Representatives today!!

That video of the Apache helicopter firing its 50 cal. into a couple of terrorist must have really upset you?

See here.

From the story: Sometimes a guy will go down, and I'll let him scream a bit to destroy the morale of his buddies," said the Marine corporal. "Then I'll use a second shot."

[wtc911]

Got it. Thanks.

This reminds me of that former soldier that the History Channel loves to use in anything related to Iraq. The one that witnessed the "horror" of the Iraqi retreat from Kuwait. Anytime a murderer is killed its a good day for free people. That guy looked like a murder and the Iraqi retreat was filled with murderers (and rapists).

Now that I have watched the clip again I do find it deeply disturbing

Had me worried for a second there.

I don't see the problem here. Didn't John Kerry get the Silver Star for shooting a wounded guy?

BINGO! Give this post a Lewinsky Kotex!

"That video of the Apache helicopter firing its 50 cal. into a couple of terrorist must have really upset you?"

Nope, not at all. Did you even read my post and/or check out the video clip I linked to?

The vid in question has nothing to do with the successful Apache attack on the three Iraqis.

BTW, the Apache has a 30mm chain gun, not a .50 BMG.
