CNN's LATE EDITION opened with never before seen captured video taken by agents of Osama Bin Laden that showed a chained up white dog being gassed with a nerve agent.
They reported this was the first time these tapes have ever been seen.
Discussion also on the Sunday Talk Thread.
However, the experiments were VERY (some say brutally) accurately re-created for the motion picture Men Behind the Sun, a Hong Kong-made feature which has the reputation of being one of the top three most violent, hard-to-watch movies of all time. It's on DVD now, although there's NO WAY I'd ever buy it. If you want a link to a review, drop me a FReepmail.
When one is a film buff, one stumbles across some far-out stuff. This one is all the worse, being true.
Once in Kosovo in 1999, some muslim-savage KLA supporters said (to US KFOR troops) that a dog left behind by its Serbian owners when they had to flee Kosovo should be killed because it was a "Serbian dog".
Terrorist muslim savages do display extreme cruelty to animals. But their cruelty to animals is always connected to the muderous intent of these savages toward human beings!
Religion of Peace (except for animal cruelty) bump.
Judging by the caliper of losers we've captured, the terrorists didn't do the work. Bin laden $$$ can buy anything.
Presumabbly, you mean insofar as convincing the idiot left is concerned. Perhaps you are right. After all, murdering 3,000 civilians on US soil is one thing, but gassing a dog, well that is simply intolerable.
Perhaps this will enable the libs to see that these "downtrodden, misunderstood freedom fighters" are not nice people.
They'll just denounce the war on terror by likening the Bin Laden boys to our own prison population and their disdain for enforcing hard time on them..."Oh you can't do that...You'll just make them mad...They'll turn out even MEANER!"
Does anyone think for one minute that while the press was following Clinton & Monica around, thinking their little fling was harmless & cute, and watching Slick whip out his sax in front of his Hollyweird pals for two whole terms, that Hussein, Bin Laden, and the terrorists were taking an eight year vacation on the French Riviera???
It frosts me how anyone can say "What about Israel?" as though there's even a doubt. Israel is GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.
You all can say what you want about your belief in the existance of God, but in 1967, surrounded & hopelessly outnumbered by Arabs, who kicked who's tailfeathers back to the stone age?
These underdog feats don't just happen folks...Israel has a higher level of protection than you may think and as long as they do God's will, the premiums on that policy are paid and in good standing!
If you're a betting person, ignore the odds out of Vegas, put it all on Israel, & just let it ride!
Not just the chem/bio test, there was other scenes too.
Lots of trainging clips, a bridge being blown up and there was a new clip of Bin Laden in Afghanistan with a missile/rocket or something hittin the mountains in the background. It was all too quick to take in.
This is going to be an amazing series. I think it's 5 parts.
I went to cnn.com but couldn't find anything.
Showing the video is irresponsible. It makes CNN an accomplice in perpetuating a feeling of helplesness and dread. They slam President Bush for waging war against terrorism then use this video to slam our inability to stop terrorism.
Are they reporting news or manufacturing it?
