well i wouldn't associate the word 'good' with that video...... interesting yes, and thought provoking maybe...

It was on channel4 news last week, I tried to find it to post up. Deeply deeply sadening.. ... here is the channel4 report (http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/politics/international_politics/surge+on+baghdad+frontline+force/598602) (hit the watch the report link) - it includes more footage and explanation of what happens... gives an even worse picture of events.

America will never win(there is no winning), or rather solve this if it continues with the same strategy. This does not mean that puling out right away will be the best option... if i'm honest I not sure what the best option is.

But my feelin is that American troops need to be off the streets - no patrols, and just concentrate on training the Iraqi forces, and support roles. Because US troops are just a honey pot to those that don't want them there.

Second thing that needs to happen is: to stop the US embassy (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12319798/) in Iraq being built. Think about how you would feel if you were a patriotic american, and say France had needed to overthrow the next US administration (there's been another false flag attack by the neo-cons and Bush has implemeted the emergency plan, and cancelled the 2008 elections :rolleyes:). After the Frenchies had overthrown the administration and put Kuccinic in as a puppet head of state... they decided to build an embassy in washington that could be seen from space... think theere might be some pissed yanks..

plus maybe educate america just a little more - sorry to be a little outrageous - but you do have some of the most moronic people on the planet in that country, and a large portion seem to gravitate to the armed forces (innevitably)... as a result of this you will get many more innocent deaths, and harm caused to the Iraqi's as we can see from that video - should be fucking obvious that old lady isn't a terrorist.. makes my heart bleed. This is not in contrdiction to me being in complete admiration of those that are on the front line, and feeling for their own suffering.
That is the respnsibility of all americans, but your media has a great deal to answer for, the level fear for saying anything differrent is quite staggering - in the land of the free, fear is your driving force of society.
