Thanks to anon for sharing a link to this clip of US servicemen pissing themselves at the sight of an Iraqi woman walking towards a controlled explosion...
People who are pro the occupation probably won't see much wrong with this at all - the woman survived and you can plainly hear someone in the background trying to arrange for her to be warned off and to be given assistance. That laughter sounds more nervous than genuinely gleeful...
People who are anti the occupation will doubtlessly think this clip is disgraceful
Personally, after watching the clip a couple of times I was left thinking that there are going to be an awful of lot of desensitized, fucked-up and combat-trained kids returning home to America and the UK over the next few years
Hmmmm...
I wonder what they'll end up doing for a living

Is this a coincidence - ITV1 are showing "The world is not enough" tonight (perhaps as a Georgian war primer)?
"The Warfare State"
I love it.
One of my favourite extremists is alleged to have said:
"As ye shall sow, ye shall reap".
And as one of my favourite bands more recently said:
"And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next"
The battle on the home front continues
In their cardboard version of realpolitik George Bush's "Axis of Evil" is reduced to a spinner in the middle of the board, which determines which player is designated a terrorist state.
That person then has to wear a balaclava (included in the box set) with the word "Evil" stitched on to it.
Kent police said they had confiscated the game because the balaclava "could be used to conceal someone's identity or could be used in the course of a criminal act".
Andrew fumed: "It's absurd. A beard can conceal someone's identity. Are the police going to start banning beards?"
What a daft thing to say
That would be parliament's job

I think I can match that
Film clip?
Disgusting.
Simple.
there used to be a website called thatsfuckedup.com run by some sick fuck in the US.This site encouraged US military personnel in Iraq to send in pictures or video clips of atrocities in Iraq in exchange for pornography.
There is a website called Ogrish which has a thread where there are well over a thousand different videos made by Iraq "insurgents"recording various attacks ieds beheadings etc etc,,,you name it.
Its the first time in history I think where graphgic images (thanks to digital tech)of a war zone are available to all and sundry.
Iraqis are viewed no better than cats or dogs by US military in Iraq.

I've just tried to locate an online copy of hyper-nervous, chain-smoking Sean Langan's excellent...
Mission Accomplished: Langan in Iraq
...but could only come up with a promo of the first 10 minutes of the 52 minute programme
which is a real shame as it's the best English speaking documentary I've seen to come out of Iraq
(Less info)
For the past fifteen months I've created artwork in hopes of shedding light on the plight of innocent civilians under modern warfare. In this video I put my art to the music of Pink Floyd's "Goodbye Blue Sky."
