A friend of mine sent me this email:
I can't believe it, unbiased reporting from the BBC.
I used to belong to 1/8 Marines back in 1985.
GET SOME!!!!!!!

That is an extensive report---nearly 18 minutes in length.
"..this enemy doesn't like to show his face....like I said, the enemy has got a face. And he's called Satan. And he's in Fallujah. And we're gonna' destroy him."
5 minutes into it, very objective do far. Factual reporting for once, and from the BBC (??!?!)
Maybe the example of Kevin Sites finally taught them a lesson.
That is a pretty fair report. I do wish they would point out that we are within the Geneva covention rules in attacking mosques.
Since the scandal related to Iraq the BBC has flown much straighter . . .its reports are often much more factually based than US Media reporting.
This is amazing. Great reporting.
Excellent. Thanks!
Great footage. He did manage to get a few "BBC" type comments but it was minimal.
That is because their charter is up for review next year and some in the Government are none too happy with them.
This is truly a very good accounting of what Marines do, long but very good!
Whoa. Very moving report.

This is the best Fallajuh footage I have seen. Everyone should have a look.
I really do wish the American public would be able to see this and see what our troops are doing. As we spend these holidays spending $8 billion on Christmas gifts, our troops are fighting Satan.
It's good to see this from the BBC. I was surfing channels this morning and caught a story CBS did on Margaret Hasan. In summarizing at the end of the story, they blamed her death on our invasion-not on the demons who grabbed her, killed her and video taped it. CBS can go straight to hell.
The BBC news reporting has improved somewhat in the last few months, since they were found guilty of presenting left wing propaganda as news and most of the top management had to resign.
They are still "honeycombed with socialists, probably communists" though (to quote Winston).
is this a stream or downloadable? how big is the file?
Interesting piece. I wonder why we never see this stuff on American TV?
