Bush to Cancel 2008 Election - Frightening Concept: Possible

Remember to refer back to this after the election when nothing even remotely close to what was predicted happens.

Women are capable of EIA too

Was here a long time ago and never made it. Old one is dead and discarded now though so I guess it's fair game

I don't support the troops.

After checking around a bit and seeing the vehicles involved, this is the result of an EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) controlled detonation. EOD had already prepped the blast as evidenced by the evacuated area and lack of anyone interfering with the blast site. If you go to the liveleak version which has a few more seconds in advance of this one, you can hear soldiers commenting on the dog wandering into the blast zone. They can't make the dog get out, and no one is going to walk in there. So, do we halt the convey and continue to place human life at risk until the dog gets bored sniffing around the blast site, or blow it and move on? I've ridden with EOD before and they do not mess around or waste time when destroying roadside explosives no matter what random animal wanders into the blast site. Also, you'll notice that the people are kept away. Detonations are announced and areas are cleared to avoid injuring any civilians.

You can hear one soldier surprised saying "its a dog" after it wanders in. Another says "just blow it. dont wait for the dog to get out of the way."

Fade, I think you might find some interesting points about the war by Christopher Hitchens here:

http://www.videosift.com/video/Hitchens-Vs-Hitchens-2

The war is not illegal and every reason that has been given to call it so has been proven false. Absence of WMDs does not equal illegal war. The war was launched with congressional approval. Iraq had lost it's sovereignty years ago after commiting genocide. The Iraqi government harbored known terrorists and provided diplomatic passports. The list goes on. War is a terrible thing no matter what the reasons. However, this war is not illegal or without merit. The soldiers in this clip are the exception, not the rule.

*edit*

Here's another side if you want to continue to base your views off of short clips

I see you found another video to make your point since the last one was a dupe. The war is not illegal, everyone is not complicit in some evil scheme, and the actions of the few in sensational YouTube clips should not be enough to make people think that every soldier/Marine is not worthy of support. Do you have any idea how much of a shit storm this unit is in for if they are identified by the military? This is not average or acceptable behavior. I can only imagine the effects if YouTube had existed during any previous wars to showcase random idiocy.

I'm sure that looked interesting when I accidentally linked your own video as a dupe.

Sorry about that.

Also, nice generalizations... hate the many for the actions of the few. Good stuff.
