I wonder what it's like to believe every piece of shit I download?

[RSX-S777]

It's probably very similar to believing every piece of shit that spews forth from your President's mouth, I would imagine.

well, its kinda hard to fake that clip. I have seen it before on other sites. But, on the other hand too, you don't know when that clip was taken, and if the tankers suffered any disiplinary action too, and also, your making a generalized statement that is assuming all Soldiers over there are like this.....

and that is wrong. dont let the actions of a few speak for everyone.

And I wouldn't know what that is like either. Could you please elaborate??

[RSX-S777]

I think my statement is straightforward. Glad you're not one of them.

Great site. I have been going there for a laugh for a while. Lot's of great videos and pictures. Check out the archives.

I think it is demacrat media just always giving the stuff they what us to see anything that would put us against what is going on over there. If not why don't you ever see the pictures over there like this:




I think the truth is most people in Irac like the us troops being there it is the north cities like sadams home town were most of the trouble is.

you must remember, the media is biased usually one way... and thats whatever will sell the most papers. If suddenly, the whole world shifted towards liking the war in Iraq, and agreeing with it whole heartedly, then the negative images would almost dissappear, and you would hear about Soldiers giving up things to help desperate iraqi's, tales of heroic effort, and the things that I am sure that are happening, but are being passed over because its not whats "hot" right now.

It is sad IMO, when the media sensationalizes the negative, and has a tendencie to blow things bigger than they are.

its the same though with everything. negative sells, positive doesn't. How often do you read about negative reactions towards police or town officials, but in all reality, how often do oyu read about the good things they do.... unless it was something that just "has" to be reported because they would suffer the idignity of having someone get to it before them.

That is the truth, but people just like talking shit about Bush

I know a few Iraqi people (kinda friends) an they were happy when the US went to war with Iraq. They were tellin me thats the reason they left Iraq to come to north america cause of Saddam's regime, they're glad somebody's doing something to fix the system over there so their family thats still there can live in a democracy, not be tortured and killed if they oppose the President's views (which most people do). They even told me that more people were dying every year in Iraq before the war because Saddam was making his people starve to death or something like that


But you cant argue with the Bush shit talkers... their skulls are too thick. Whatever you say their response will basically be fuck bush, fuck bush, bush is and idiot, fuck bush, fuck bush

Saw that clip quite a while ago, almost immediately after the occupation.At that time the Iraqis had absolutely no police force, no chain of command, and no internal security.There was no plan in place other than to dispose of the military and oust Saddam, nobody planned for the complete collapse of the local services, even though it should jhave been obvious that Saddam's police force would have to go too.

In the absence of any law and order,and without routine,power,running water, money,all the things that people take for granted, the Iraqis had to fend for themselves while the US consolidated its position and started reorganising.Looting was rampant,and looters had no regard for the long term consequenses of what they were stealing,focusing only on getting through the days after the war.

The troops on the ground had to use whatever means were necessary to keep order.It's not right to demolish someones car for looting, but the flow-on effect from the word-of mouth would ensure that the locals understood that these guys were in chaarge,and that there would be no tolerance toward looters.

drastic times call for drastic measures.

And how is crushing a car a good way of teaching them a lesson?


Maybe they just wanted to have fun and crush things...

Plus they made a video and got to be on the internet.
How cool is that?

As I siad, this clip dates back to the post-invasion era...If it's a set piece for the internet, I'd be surprised.Back then the army was kinda busy trying to keep a lid on things.
