Also dude, what the is this bull link you provided?

:stongue: :stongue: Are you ing serious? Whatever moron wrote that can barely keep his sentences coherent.
There are several things wrong with that piece, namely:
| quote: | | The Reuters camera men had embedded themselves with the insurgents. This makes them enemy combatants themselves and should have been shot. |
This is factually incorrect and incongruent with rules of engagement used by the US military.
| quote: | | Reuters has a long history of its local stringers embedding themselves with terrorist forces. Perhaps they do this because they are sympathetic, perhaps they do this to get "the story", but it matters little to those engaging insurgents. |
What? The guy pulls up one article of ONE guy who did freelance work for reuters getting stopped and questioned at the green zone, as evidence of a 'long history of embedding with terrorists'. Did this guy complete high school or did he drop out in 7th grade? Do you know how large of an organization Reuters is?
| quote: | | Anything less than this understanding is purposeful naivite about "objective journalism". In war there can be no objective journalism. You're either with us or the enemy. If you want to stay neutral stay out of the war zone. |
What? :conf: Please do not tell me you read this and thought it was a thoughtful expose on the subject. Jesus christ. Absolute ing garbage. |

The irony is just off the ing charts.
Dunno why I decided to post in this thread but I knew this viewpoint that these journalists got what they deserved would come up. It's just disgusting. RIP an amazing 22 year old photographer. |

I mean, sure. We all get together on MSN once a week and decide on a "template/narrative" of various political stances we should be taking over the course of a week. Jesus. :stongue: |

The blood pool in front of the school with the kid and his soccer ball. We need to be reminded of these consequences DAILY. |

These Wars are pure imperialism, greed, and hate. It is fueled by pure ignorance and apathy. None of us will benefit from it or be safer because of this war or the Afghan war (mainly because our own government, its partners, and intelligence agencies created the problem they are fighting). This war and past Wars are essentially money making machines. When they create a war, they also create a blank check to write to themselves (beneficiaries of Wars). And you sheep help them to write that blank check. How many Trillions have been taken from Tax Payers, to pay for these Wars? And are these Trillions of dollars actually benefitting you in any way? They said they want to Protect America, but just a few weeks ago they were talking up "potential strikes on American soil." I mean how the F do you beat an "ideology". They created something you cant even beat. They created an enemy that can respawn...anywhere. This war makes no logical sense, and the money that goes into it, the lives ruined because of it, has made no sense.
Eventually, there will be a major war with China. Why? Because these people who have crafted these wars are insecure, and the advancement of technology will breed more insecurity from them. Because there will come a time, in their minds any uncontrolled state might be a potential enemy. Just look today's news about getting rid of Nuclear Weapons. They want to get rid of Nuclear Weapons entirely, even though America has HAARP and Russia has something similar, with vast abilities towards mass destruction. So they want to go from 9 Countries with WMDs, to just two. How does that help the World if 2 countries have a major WMD like HAARP? Along with the Nuclear Weapons, get rid of HAARP as well.
http://www.haarp.net <-read up a bit.
How is the World safer with something like HAARP and its potential to be abused? |

Everyone should pay their due taxes, and vote the right people in office. 90% people dont know who represents them. |
