Its ridiculous.
The more they spend, the more they make,
so they are encouraged to spend;
$60 cans of soda,
SUVs that dont go anywhere,
luxury hotels, jetskis,
soldiers sending their laundry out
at upwards of $100 per bag,
and getting it back unwashed!,
water not being decontaminated,
and so on, and so on.People should see this. Then maybe they'd start asking:
"Why isnt this all over the news?!?!"

I wonder if anyone ever considered the possibility of getting their news from sources other than video clips produced by those with an agenda and no controls or accountability over whether or not they contain a particle of truth?From what I've seen in some of these so called news videos, there's more truth in Bugs Bunny cartoons.  Seems to me this is one step below "comic book news".  IP: Logged |

Jwhop, dear, newsflash .... you're getting your information from video clips produced by those with an agenda too. In fact, try pointing me to someone who isn't. IP: Logged |

More than clips, this nearly feature-length film includes numerous interviews with soldiers and contractors, eye-witnesses to the corruption. The footage speaks for itself, as do the witnesses. IP: Logged |

I haven't watched the video so I won't make more than this general observation - footage is easily edited and manipulated. Those for and against the War each have their own agenda.
Once again, discrimination is the key.  IP: Logged |

Of course broadcast news has an agenda...and one I don't like or agree with TINK.However, at least there are some controls on the so called main stream press. There are none whatsoever on the producers of these clips run on you tube or any of the others. First of all, they're anonymous. Your point is well made that we don't have a clue how the tape was edited or manipulated. We also don't know if these "soldiers" are real soldiers or from the ranks of the phony soldier crowd...or, for that matter who these people really are who are claiming to have been witnesses...or contractors. Perhaps you recall a film production set in the so called Palestinian area. They called it Pallywood...because that's where they filmed their propaganda clips to feed to the news services. Of course, this was totally staged film footage. Lots of people thought it was all sooooo true though. Those who are most suseptible to propaganda are those who want so desperately to believe it's all true.  IP: Logged |
