Did anyone see the news last night where they had that POW of some american/canadian guy, i don't remember. anyway, it looks like your average POW movie, where guys have the masks, and the prisoners are on their knees. But this one, after the iraqi said a little speech, he walked up to the POW and pulled out a huge blade and puts it to the guys neck. The news had to cut away, but supposidly they cut the guys head right off, and then dangle it in front of the camera.
yeah... so anyone know where i can get this video?

I apologise to any overly-patriotic Americans here, but I think these are sure signs of these Wannabe-'Warrior' Americans getting their 'just desserts'...all this bullshit about power to the Iraqi people by June 30th...looks like the Iraqi's have power within their grasp already...!

i actually don't think i can watch this.
Don't worry. I haven't watched it either. I don't really plan on doing so.
I watched it, and the video was really poor quality.
But the thing is, he wasn't a soldier, he was a bloody civilian working over there.
And apparantly he had been arrested for a month before, yet never received any charges so that makes you wonder.
At the end of the day, it's sad for him and his family, yeah, but everyone seems to forget immediately about the 20+ Iraqis that have died in Abu Ghraib.

05-12-04, 07:01 PM
ugh god dude. that was the worst thing ever.
Fucking hell, have you lot never been on ogrish.com before? I remember watching that Chechnyan soldier chopping off that Russian soldiers head, and that was in much better quality and WAAAAY more brutal. and i was about 14 when fucking Mickazee showed me.
that video was just too poor quality to do anything.
Dave Miles
05-12-04, 07:05 PM
like the guys facial expression... it would take a while to die too, he just has to lay there getting his head slowly hacked off. do you realize how much that would fucking suck? the guy with the blade was cutting slow, too.
I saw the russian soldier cut-throat thing when I was about 12. That's one of the last i ever saw. I can't handle that shit. Like right now, it's not really affecting me or anything. It's just when I watch them i get disturbed.

Yeah, I'm surprised no-one's gone and posted a picture of any of those 'Fuck-Pyramids' with some smooth Barry White sound to play with it, randomly in the middle of a totally unrelated thread...
i've turned so anti-insulting jokes recently.
oh and i just went on ogrish and they've got a better video than last night, yeah it is a bit harsh really.

There is something inside me that hopes it's fake... cos there is a cut between him dying and them removing the head... But I'm just being wishful here tho.
But man, that guy has such courage to stay so stoic surrounded by those psychopaths. Wherever he is, he's got my life-long respect.
And another thing - I'm sure Allah is weeping his eyes out.

But back to the point i was making, do you guys not see the shit that's going on in Iraq on the news over there? There's riots, hostage takings, gun battles, etc. all over the goddamn place and the British and Americans Forces are losing control...

Well of COURSE it's gonna be that way at first dude. I mean, the government they've had for so long has just been destroyed. Of course there will be activists and such. In time though, I believe the riots and such will die down. To say it will continue forever is foolish.

Stop paying so much attention to the liberal media, fucker. It's all fucking sensationalist bullshit.
The Iraq army is gone, and we have complete control over 99% of the country. The only people still fighting are a few terrorists, which we are hunting down and killing every day.
Edit: to Scatterbrain.
Hahaha. At first I thought that post was directed at me, and I was about to cry because X was so mean to me for seemingly no reason.
But then I read the end and didn't cry, 'cuz I'm a BIG BOY.

I don't need an argument when you're going around making up shit like 'you guys lost Fallujah'. There's nothing to argue against.
We fought the bad guys there for a month straight, and killed hundreds of them. The Marines left the city after the cease-fire agreement which leaders of the city were begging for. Then we rotated in an Iraqi Brigade under US control, and repositioned the Marines to outside of the city. We never lost, and we never left.

05-12-04, 08:21 PM
My brother is over there in Iraq. He's been there for over a year. Actually being there in the middle of everything, he knows exactly what's going on, and let's put it this way. For every one US soldier killed, a few hundred Iraqis are. The few chances I get to speak to him, he tells me every single detail about what's going on over there. Basically, in a nutshell, Iraq is getting PWNED.
Yeah. This guy I'm living with right now, his older brother is a US marine in Iraq, and apparently he's saying the same thing.
Xclexski
05-12-04, 08:25 PM

Most of these fuckers attacking the war have never even talked to a vet before, but think they're tactical geniuses by saying that America is losing cuz the media says so.

Exactly. All this bullshit, americans torturing iraqis, iraqis beheading americans, it's fucked up. Not very civil IMHO (and it IS quite humble)
If I were a US soldier, every time I shot an Iraqi terrorist I'd scream "PWNED!!!! BITCH!!!!" and I'd also give a motivational speech to my fellow comrades, and I'd end it with, "Let's pwn these motherfuckers! ON WITH THE PWNING!!!" and they'd be like "YEAAAH!" and toss their guns into the air and huzzah and stuff. It'd be so cool.

Anyway: *saves video to masturbation folder*
Yeah, I say something like "pawned" but with a lot less "a". Almost like "pwinned"
Each time I had to move to a different place, I would get a tape recorder to play "MORANGOS COM AÇUCAR!!! DUUUN!!!!" at the departure and arrival at every place.

What I meant was that US is definately 'winning' the war. Not very many American troops are getting killed compared to how many Iraqi idiots are. Several hundred Iraqis are getting killed for every one American, so, in '1337' terms, I believe you could possibly consider that getting 'pwned'.

There is [obviously] no one way of saying it, it isn't a fucking word. It's missing a vowel.
For me, I forget it comes from OWN. It's a totally different word, and when I look at "PWN" the first word that comes to mind is "PAWN" and actually saying "I pawned him good" is funny, it's like, you took his pawn in a game of chess or something.
Saying "I powned him!" makes you sound like a fucking retard who tried to call someone but has trouble prouncing certain letters.

I think it's only fair we let all our male gay US black prisoners rape sadaam in the poohole on live tv and broadcast it to Iraq. See how US handles them killing our people. FUH.
To my surprise I actually watched the video...and it was awful (obviously)! I wonder if he knew he was going to die, he just sat there in what looked like a daze. If that was myself in the situation I know after they pulled that knife out I would of least squirmed or tried to pull away....maybe I missed that though. He just seemed a little to calm for the situation. Let's hope the reason for that was they had pumped him full of drugs.
Things like that make me sad....

You guys arn't getting attacked by terrorists or even feeling this war.

Here's my reasoning. Terrorism is the most pathetic weak though out dishonorable shit to ever hit man kind. That is no way to make a stand. I mean, if they were to kill congress, attack any political leader, even kill the president. I wouldn't care. They are all fucking morons, and THEY are making these calls. Not the american citizens. Meanwhile, Johny Babaganoush Sand Nigger is cutting off heads of civilians. UNARMED MEN. We are playing around with their prisoners, we arn't slowly dismembering them. So fuck them, fuck what they stand for. Fuck their entire race. If you think I'm a redneck moron, I think you're a censored little pussy fuck that hasn't had a taste of the real world.

I really can't say anything that hasn't been said already.
As a Salvationist I'm opposed to the war on principle, but as a person with politics, well I'm still opposed. George Bush has perverted the scriptures and is calling this is God given duty. The Bible does give justifications for time of war. St. Augustine also had his 7 basic principles in 1611. What bugs me is that George Bush recited thos 7 reasons verbatim. That tells me that it's not because he truly believes it, but because he wanted the Christians on his side. Thing is, we have now learned that there was no direct threat to us and second no one is any free-er than they were 2 years ago. And the Oil Ministry is still the most heavily guarded place in Baghdad.
Ramza, you and I agree on George Bush. I just plumb don't like the guy. Some people say history is a BS degree with no real value. I salute you for pursuing it, because in researching history I have developed a better understanding of the world today and have a good idea of what the future will bring.

Sorry it's just I was absolutely repulsed by that video. For awhile it made me hate all muslims, then I realized that it's not all muslims. But hey, it's a fair number. There just way to ruthless. They bitch about how the Americans treat their prisoners after they drag soldiers down a street and hang their bodies off bridges? Sorry it's just alot of hypocricy.

I'm so glad I didn't watch that video. My Lord, what's wrong with these people? I understand their viewpoint to a degree actually. I even understand WHY Osama Bin Laden attacked on 9/11 although I can't condone it. But the problem is, these people aren't 'just doing it'. This is something their religion condones.
Before you jump on me saying Christianity condones it too, I'll explain something: Genesis says "Life for a life" then Jesus says "I'm here to fulfill the laws". Therefore, when he died on the cross, he WAS that given life so retaliatory murder no longer holds in the New Covenant. Anyone well versed in Christian religion would know that. I'm not pushing this on you guys, I'm just saying. I'll not reply to any replies made to this part of my response because I'm tired of debating my religion. If you disagree with me, just say it and move on and let's stick to the issue.
I just have to know you guys: How could you bring yourselves to watch that video. I stopped once they threw him to the ground cause I couldn't take it. Now, my problem is EXTREME empathy. God gave me a very, very soft heart. I hate to think that you guys enjoy watching that stuff, but please don't tell me it was easy. Maybe you were just made of sterner stuff than I was.

Damien, I've been to the site many times, usually to peruse the forums and laugh my ass off. Many - not all, but many, and you have to at least admit this - of the people there are absolute backwoods hillbilly morons. Honestly, some of them are troglodytes who would require somebody to read the Bible out to them because they couldn't read a fucking McDonalds menu.
http://users.rcn.com/rostmd/winace/fundies/
Now that is a great site.
Jason - I was repulsed by it, too. But it didn't make me hate any certain group. The actions of a few don't dictate the views of a whole race. I mean, did the Timothy McVeigh's actions in the Oklahoma City bombings or Harris and Klebold's actions in Columbine make you hate all white people? No, of course not.
One of the most famous film clips on the internet is a Russian soldier being stabbed in the neck and beheaded by a group of Chechyan rebels. It's almost exactly the same as the Nick Berg film, but it didn't make me hate each and every Chechnyan. Saying such broad, hate-filled things as "every Muslim must die" is what causes extremism.

These sort of people is why "The Living Bible" and "New International Version" were published. But I certainly hope you're not implying that I'm some kind of inbred halfwit because I'd hate to argue with you.

The people who got cut to pieces and dragged down the street weren't US soldiers, they were mercenaries working for an American security country. That company (I've forgotten the name now, something like Blackburn or something) pays mercenaries a LOT of money to go over and act as a secondary militia for the US army. Those guys were getting paid a lot more than Americans and knew the risks, and since they weren't soldiers, then they weren't treated as POWs. You keep forgetting, the rebel militia isn't a formal army and this isn't a time of war. The was was declared over by YOUR president, and since these aren't official Iraqi soldiers, they don't follow the Geneva conventions. So I don't see why you're comparing them to US soldiers, who actually broke their own rules.

Yeah, trust me, the aforementioned film clip of the Russian getting his head sawed off is basically exactly the same, only last a lot longer and is a close up. And the sound is a lot more disturbing. I saw it most recently a fortnight ago at Cliffmosher's place. Thankfully I was too drunk at the time to be disgusted by it.

No, I'm not. I'm just saying, if you're going to put forth a site as a source of enlightenment of wisdom, you must at least admit that many of the people there are exactly the opposite. People speak all of the time about Muslim fundamentalism, but fail to see that many of the people who put their two cents in on the internet are Christian fundamentalists - ie the Christians who claim that Muslims are Satan worshippers and that they should all be killed in the name of God.
Also, I have read the Bible, or at least many parts of it. But I was a child, and didn't appreciate it. I don't doubt it's an informative collection of morality tales but I don't agree with the way it's message is given.

This is where you're wrong.
1. The Koran (I know it's traditionally spelled Q'uran or something, but I can't be bothered double-checking it) does not say, ANYWHERE, that murder is justified. Like the Taliban, hardline Muslim fundamentalists simply choose to interpret it that way. If you actually spoke to Muslims (which I do quite often, as there are many in my university course), you'd see that most of them agree that the Koran does not promote or allow violence. Fanatics just twist it suit their goals.
2. "What's wrong with these people?" The same thing that's wrong with Christians who bomb abortion clinics: they're nuts.
Damien Jasper
05-13-04, 06:00 AM
Cal, you are right about something. Some people get so lost in their passion for Christianity the religion that the meaning of it gets swept away. I'm not offering the sight as a source of enlightenment, just a good study guide. Actually, I think the only useful part about the site is the FAQ. I don't consider Muslims to be Satan worshippers. However, I do believe they worship a false God. If I explain my reasons, I'll just open up the Pandora's Box again and me and Andres will be at it once more and I don't want that. So from here on out I'm willing to drop the religious topic and go back to the War intself.
I do understand your point about Christians who bomb abortion clinics. I suppose I was wrong about Muslims. However, I do know one thing for sure. Mohommad himself said "Convert by the Sword if necessary" That's something Jesus never said and if it did (which it did) happen in history, it's because people perverted the teachings (which we are taught will happen). So just like the Muslims you know who don't represent terrorists, remember that I and many other Christians shouldn't be categorized with Christian terrorists. We can agree to disagree on everything else.

Think of the Middle East as a foot, or a leg of the body. You let it rot, and it'll definitely affect the rest of you, even if not totally directly. I wish it weren't so, but it is.

Damien, I don't categorize you with terrorists. Or even fundamentalists. I just see you as faithful to your religion, nothing more, nothing less.
Jason, you talked about "what you hear on the news". Well, ever considered that the media is biased?
Personally, I contradict myself sometimes. I support Israel over Palestine, yet I accept that the only reason the US supports Israel is to get a foothold in the region, which is fairly unjust. So I'm at a loss there.
The best thing for the middle east right now would be a stable (non-theocratic) government in Iran, the US pulling out of Iraq, and a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine. Sharon is pulling out settlements from one part of Gaza, but that's not enough right now. There needs to be a stable ceasefire which involves Arafat calming down Hamas and the PLO for a while.
People need to start turning their attention towards Africa; it's getting far worse there than in the middle east. Militia death squads there are raping, killing and pillaging far more than the militia in the middle east, and the AIDS virus is rampant (owing to the fact that many people there mistakenly believe that HIV can be cured by having sex with a virgin girl).
If America really cared about people rather than profit, they'd be stomping out Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe, or helping lower the crime rate in South Africa (the crime capital of the world).

Back to the topic of niggers:
Why the fuck are they so brown?
Damien Jasper
05-13-04, 06:15 AM
Cal, you bring up a valid point (and continue to be the most sensible person on this board). Africa has been a rotting cesspool of human failure for longer than I can remember. That is as tragic as tragic gets, I can't say that with enough hyperbole. However, it is more important to the globe that the Mid East be top priority. Africa has no danger of destroying the entire planet because of their wars, the Middle east does. It's just the hotbed that End Timers can point to, with good reason. All the crazies over there with nuclear ambition and access and the desire to do so. While I think Africa is the tragedy of human tragedy, I also think it's a lost cause. But as a Salvation Army soldier, I vowed to go wherever I may be sent, even if there is no hope.
So before people cut on how awful the "civilized world" or "western world" (US, Canada, Japan, Western Europe and Australia) is, they should look beyond those borders and see that it don't get much better than what we have.
Sometimes I consider the offer that the nearest Amish community extended to me (in Montana). I'd rather spend the end times with those who understand. But maybe that's just hiding. I don't know.

05-13-04, 06:21 AM
I don't have time for this. But lemme tell you something, someone doesn't just up and decide to do that. It wasn't out of "jealousy" for our power. People who say that assume that everyone in the world shares the same values as us, that is material and military power, and that's not true. Look back at the behavior of the US in the Middle East: the horrible dictators they've proped up and the coups they've organized. That's what pissed him off. See, if Saddam was such an AWFUL person, what does that say about the US in backing him? See, Osama and Saddam were enemies as well. The friend of Osama's enemy is Osama's enemy as well. See what I'm getting at?
What is extremely ironic about all of this is that a vast majority of Americans and Arabs would like nothing better than to live in peace with each other. You think we LIKE hating one another? But things have gotten far too out of control for anyone but God to repair now.

Everyone's entitled to their own take on something, and simply because I don't think going around saying "Yeah, kill those fucking Iraqis, yeah they deserve it. That's it! Let's cheer on two nations' armed forces still fighting a year after this poxy war was officially declared over and losing more people now than they were then!" I really don't think that all of a sudden makes me fresh meat for you fucking Americans. It appears that simply because I'm not on your fucking level, I am a "Gullible Idiot with no IQ". How so? It's a fucking sham!
I am perfectly entitled to my opinion on this, and just because I don't hold the same opinion as yours, you immediately jump down my throat. Well up yours, guys. I think you're argument against me is severley flawed. It's nothing to do with media brainwashing, that's what happens over in your country. It's to do with the fact that America and Britain are going on about a June 30th handover date! Well, I think they'd better buck their ideas up, otherwise, they're just going to be
A) Handing over a far-from liberated wasteland to these fucking people, full of rebels, Sadaam loyalists, and people just plain upset about the mess that's been made... or
B) Finding the country is just taken from them by the rebels etc. who will just ruin everything that the 'Coalition' have wasted a year and a half over...
In my opinion, British and American forces are hardly keeping peace and giving their best shot at restoring Iraqi power and helping Iraq get to the position that they should be in. Free of torment, attacks and other such stuff...
I stand by my original comment, which was only a personal opinion which I wasn't forcing anyone to agree and think that this whole handover of power is not going to work, as these rebels and other such maniacs are actually, quite simply, taking it...and I don't care what you pro-war patriots have to say in reply to that...good day to you...

To assume no civilians have died is perposterous. But I see what you're getting at and I did take it out of context. But I'll wait until the whole story comes out. I refuse to believe civilians haven't been pulled into this. It happened in 'Nam and even tho that's a dirty word right now, this is a lot like it. The soldiers have no clear objective so the solution is to kill everything in sight until you feel like you've accomplished something. Lord, I hate nationalism.

Faggot, NO. You said there was no torture. THERE WAS. Also, to arab culture, torture like that is WORSE than execution. Forcing them to wank themselves and each other in front of american soldiers?
I'm not saying it's worse than execution, but it's right up there with it. Now fuck off, you gherkin.

It's pretty obvious it was in response to the TORTURE (not execution, damien). That's why they filmed it and hung the head up and stuck it on the internet.

Can I just ask, what kind of stuff is shown on American telly to do with this whole Iraq thing? (ie. News, Updates, and the like...) Because I personally have one word for News etc. over here, Newsnight I, myself, think they are the last word in news over here. They've covered a heck of a lot to do with this whole ordeal about the abuse or Iraqi Prisoners/Soldiers/Civilians, and what is shown is pretty undeniable. I've been told many times that US Television is under the thumb of The Bush Administration and a lot gets censored, or it at least get censored until it's very late in the evening etc...i dunno...but that's only what I've heard. Please can someone clarrify this for me?

Fox News is the Republican Gospel scatterbrain. They do nothing but show American flags and talk about what a wonderful person George Bush is. Sean Hannity masturbates to his picture I think. Seriously, it's a fact that Fox News is the ONLY news network that's shown in the Halls of DC. So everyone up there is just slapping their willies along with Fox.
The rest of it, I dunno. I suppose we get as much as you do. They say there's a liberal bias in the media but that's BS. Any time the ugly truth about our government is revealed, it's called a left wing conspiracy to weaken the country. But the truth hurts, to liberals and conservatives alike. But someone has to stand up and say it.

Hold the fucking phone.
How dare our military call this a mission from God, when we've treated these prisoners like shit?
So it's okay when a differnet group of people rename "mission from God" to "Jihad" and kill thousands of innocent people in a terrorist attack?
There IS a difference between soldiers and civilians. The bottom line is that it is NOT justified for the group of terrorists who killed, totured even, a normal civilian, just because he was an American. That would be just as logical as for me to go and kill a random Arab just to make up for what happened. There is a difference between civilian and soldier.
I never once said it was okay for American soldiers to do what they are doing to the POWs, but beheading an innocent person to make up for it is even more cold blooded and cruel.

Lemme get something straight, I don't think God supports terrorism in any way. But we aren't talking about the Arabs right now. We're talking about 'our boys'. The differene is that the media, liberal and conservative alike are telling us that we should all get down and kiss the ass of anyone in uniform. But that don't cut the mustard with me anymore. So I shiver when people say "God bless our troops". I don't think that's what God had in mind.

I was wondering you nationality because of your comment on media. I was just curious.
And I think God would support our fight for liberating a country, not militants who think committing suicide along with killing thousands of innocent people.
And no, I don't think your a traitor. You have the right to your opinion. I just don't see how you can sit and ridicule the slogan "God Bless Our Troops" when it fails to compare with Islamic Jihad. Until the Koran becomes interpreted correctly/differently and Muslims don't belive that killing will get them to Heaven, leave American troops alone.
Would someone briefly summarise this thread for the benefit of my lazy self?
I fucking loathe and despise any single person in this thread debating with the old "you're anti-american" crock of horseshit. You're the only fucking anti-american inbred pondscum. Being "pro america" isn't being a blind fucking tool who rationalizes the psychological and physical abuse inflicted upon some prisoners as "not bad" because "they aren't innocent", or rationalizing the deaths of hundreds of civilians because "we're still owning iraq". Being "pro-america" is standing for the laws and principles of your country, not for what some war criminals who hold the power do unto others. So how about you cut the "all of your reports just stem from being anti-american, but i'm sooo american i don't care" bullshit and actually start giving a good name to the principles your country stands for, which I assure you are not "to torture rebels into submission and sexually abuse them"?

EXACTLY! If an Iraqi citizen took a trip to America, he wouldn't be captured and beheaded while being taped. As far as the torture pictures go, exactly WHO are these detainees? I understand that they were being interrogated, so who says these people were "innocent civilians"? Like somebody said, it's still under investigation so it's really too early to jump to conclusions.

Torture on innocent civilians. Oh, but they were in prison, they were prisoners, it's cool to torture prisoners.

What a danger to society those terrorists are, right? So unless you can show me that physical, psychological, and sexual torture is OK against terrorists, and that of the sample being tortured here, all of them belonged to the 30-10 percent that are actually guilty of something (let alone terrorists), you've got no case.

She says there is no evidence to suggest that they were ever Iraqi soldiers or even militiamen.

No doubt about that one. It's not even a question anymore. Whatever this country stood for in good name, has been lost. All that's left is a sour taste in the back of our throats. The result of us being capitalistic now leaves us completely RUN by these massive tyrants. Speaking of the oil companies in general, every president who's ever NOT supported them has been shot. Someone mentioned this a year ago in another thread.
Maybe when the next term comes up and we have a new president we can invade the oil companies and liberate them.

Well, a Red Cross investigation into Abu Ghraib found that it wasn't just a few disgruntled guards... it was an organised system of abuse ordered by a group of higher-ups (two generals, Gen Sanchez and I think a guy named Gen Miller ordered most of it at Abu Ghraib, and some CIA interrogators were apparently enforcing a lot of it). Even Lynndie England (the "leash" chick) said she was just doing what her bosses told her to do... a group of government men apparently asked guards to "pose" for photos showing them abusing and torturing prisoners.
And man, there are unreleased photos of stuff like American soldiers raping Iraqi women, Abu Ghraib guards (Iraqis hired by the American soldiers) raping young boys, of Americans sodomising detainees with broom handles and light sticks, of Americans setting dogs onto helpless naked men... of Americans forcing detainees to masturbate in front of other detainees, or to masturbate other detainees, and female prisoners being forced to have sex with male detainees, all of which is totally against their religion, despite the Geneva convention saying that prisoners have to be treated fairly and their religion has to be respected. Also, there have been twenty confirmed murders of prisoners at Abu Ghraib - and apparently only two of those prisoners were trying to escape. The others just got beaten to death or shot by interrogators for no reason. One of the interrogators was a fucking civilian hired by the CIA, and he's been arrested. A few other soldiers have been court-marshalled (one of whom shot an innocent Iraqi woman in the head in front of a bunch of other Americans, apparently).
Dude, don't just swallow up Bush's words. You're smarter than that.
I think we're lucky to get a pretty broad media here. Our newspapers have both left and right wing editorials, and the articles themselves don't really take any biased stances. It's funny, our prime minister (spineless weakling that he is) told Bush that Australia was all for his coalition, despite concensus polls before the Iraq war showing that 74% of Australian citizens were against it.
Also, X, don't forget that the reason Nick Berg was decapitated was because the Iraqis found out about this stuff. If Americans had never tortured those men, Nick Berg would still be alive. The vast majority of foreign civilians kidnapped in Iraq have been released alive, including Americans, and without an event such as the abuse scandal to spur murder, the Iraqis probably wouldn't have killed Berg. Like when they caught those three Japanese people last month. They were like "we'll kill them unless Japan pulls out of Iraq" and Japan was just like "nope". And the next day the Japanese hostages were released alive anyway.

They came out to Iraq just because they would have the chance to kill Americans. It can't be said that they cut his head off just because of the abuse. You can't follow the logic of religious fanatics. These guys are just fucking unpredictable. I'm sure it was in retaliation, but that still doesn't justify it.
I don't think the abuse pictures should have been made public. I think it's total bullshit what happened to the prisioners, but the general public doesn't need to see it, at least until the whole situation it over. It just turns into a big shitty mess like this. People are using the pictures for propaganda and political purposes all over the world. The people involved need to be prosecuted and removed quietly, without distracting people from the big picture.
It also sucks about all the media attention around Nick Berg. People need to be informed about these things, but it just sucks for his family because they didn't want it to get as huge as it is.
What I don't get is that ok the prison guards did all that shit to the prisoners, that was just wrong so now the US government is taking it into their own hands and punishing the guards like they should. There really was no point for this retaliation by Al Queda since it wasn't like we were just ignoring the torturing of the prisoners we were actually taking action and hopefully giving those guards what they deserve. But hey what do I know I'm just a 17 year old American that'll prolly soon get thrown into all this shit.

that said, though, the overall balance of the media here is pretty impressive, i agree. we have both right and left leaning media outlets.

Here's hoping for the success of the Liberal Radio Network even though I can't stand Gerafelo. (sp?)
There have been a lot of good points made in this thread, but i'll say this;
I've listened/read lots of debating about the war and one thing that really pisses me off is how people are always defending stereo-typing Iraqis, saying "kill them all...ect" and people say "thats stereo-typing", BUT..then they see/hear about the torturing of Iraqi prisoners and all of the sudden the ENTIRE american army are the badguys.
NO, we have fucking sickos in that prison that did completely wrong and immoral things and SHOULD be punished BUT that doesn't meen all US forces are exactly the same as those men/women. I don't believe for ONE second that people higher in command gave the orders to those sicko prison guards, thats bullshit.
Don't get me wrong, im not saying that I stereo-type Iraqi people, they are just as normal as us and in no way terrorists. But im saying NICE FUCKING double standard guys.
Just because of those idiots mistakes doesn't meen all our forces are like that, I know a lot of good men over in Iraq.
I hope I made some sort of sense in that post?

okay, i'm commenting, (jasper, you have your wish ;)).
i want to comment on a few things, cal said that the CIA hired iraqi civilians to act as detainee interrogators, then as some of these iraqi civilians commited inhumane crimes against the Geneva convention, they were conveniently arrested.
first of all, that sounds like to me, the commanders in control of that division of the U.S. army purposefully hired the iraqi's to weed out their own people. if that got to an even broader extent, it would seriously sound like a self-holocaust plan to me. which is sickening.
on the other hand, this was all just the decision of a few commanders in particular divisions as i said. not one of the U.S. Army as a whole. certainly not what Bush had in mind. but i still don't like him and wish Bill Clinton was back in office. because he's an awesome mother fucker.
secondly, xclexski, you're a funny guy. but you have to know you were grossly uninformed when you denied that there was any raping, torture or execution of 'innocent iraqi civilians' during this whole U.S. tour. simply, domke was right, and you were wrong. and you didn't have to drag racial and immoral slurs in there to try and bring attention to your point. you american pig dog. (LOL SRCASM)
whoever said this was all a part of cause and effect was right. but then it comes down to determining what came first:
the extremist foreign chicken? or the abrasive over-patriotic western egg.
thank you.

yep. that subject comes down to that, they can't really fight back, and the ones who do take it too far.
that draft thing damien sounds pretty bad for the future of our society. if australia still follows under the american principles which we're doing now, i swear to all gods they better not bring conscription back.
it shouldn't turn into another world war type event even though it's situated in one country. honestly, 3dmm community: would anyone of you go out to fight for your country over this war and over these principles? tell me who would. and why.

I wouldn't do it on two principles:
1) My Salvationist Oath which I covered already. Why should the military oath automatically take precedence over the oath I truly care about? What makes it mean so much more?
2) Because the whole thing is a great big crock of bubbling shit anyway. (pardon my French). There ain't no WMDs and I'm not any free-er than I was 2 years ago. It's oil and I won't kill or endanger myself and others for a resource that's gonna run out soon anyway.

I would go if needed. My reasons:
I believe we need stay until a stable government is set up. It would have been easy to leave after crushing Saddam's army, but that doesn't mean it would have been good. There's no way to back out now, no matter what you think about the war.
There are terrorists there that need to be killed. Simple as that. They want to kill Americans, and any Iraqis or others that aren't part of them.

Yes, because.....well, you know....thats what this entire war is about.

Yes, that is what it's all about. "Simple as that"

No, I said they hired Iraqi guards, who ended up raping boys. I said they hired American interrogators, one of whom killed an Iraqi for no reason and then got incarcerated.
