Im not over there in the US. But most the comments i see on Fox are so disgusting. Like dont send troops, bomb them.
Take the rags off the ragheads - then wrap around their throats. Tie one end to the southbound end of a northbound Clydesdale - the other end to the northbound end of a southbound Clydesdale.
GIDDYUP.
There would have to be a mass awakening over there to have change.

You know after just finishing 1984 by Orwell I really understand how visionary that novel is. Sure we don't live in a dystopia/big brother state as portrayed in the book. However the way in which the media is controlled by higher interest, that is so obviously a reality today. They create a certain reality for us to believe in.
We live in kind of soft dystopia/big brother state.

Hate to sound like a pessimist but it seems like business as usual for the US government.
This is news that should be getting rounds on the nightly cycle, unfortunately our journalists, whose job it is to keep these things in check by informing the public, are simply on a much higher payroll than we can afford.
Now the Libyans have sharia law in their future.
The video with Qaddafi was interesting though, where he calls the reporter out in English, "You don't understand"
then goes on to talk about how the kids in the streets were on drugs given to them by Al-Qaeda.
I don't know whether to laugh at the response given by Qaddafi because he is giving the text book answer any US official will give for fire bombing things to get away with it but combined for extra effectiveness, or to give a second look into whether maybe there is some strange truth what he says.....

Who heard the Alex Jones show today. Aaron spoke to Wayne Maddson I think. He said, he has reports of the Kadarfi convoy flying white flags. I would say in surrender.

Really worth a listen, if you havent heard it yet.
The offensive action for which Highway 80 is infamous became a controversial point, with some commentators alleging that the use of force was disproportionate, as the Iraqi forces were retreating from Kuwait (and thus leaving the country in compliance with the UN Resolution 660 of August 2, 1990), and the column included Kuwaiti captives (apparently to be used as hostages[5]) as well as some civilian refugees including women and children (mostly family members of pro-Iraqi Palestine Liberation Organization militants and Kuwaiti collaborators who have fled shortly before a wholesale Palestinian expulsion from Kuwait in early March). Former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark alleged that these attacks violated the Third Geneva Convention, common article 3, which outlaws the killing of soldiers who "are out of combat."[6] International law explicitly states that retreating military forces are legitimate targets in war to deny them regrouping and reattacking (only surrendering military forces are protected by the Hague Conventions). It was however also alleged that the American combat vehicles opened fire on a large group of more than 350 disarmed Iraqi soldiers who had surrendered at a U.S. military checkpoint after fleeing the devastation on Highway 8 on February 27; these allegations were publicised by Seymour Hersh.
