#2 Advice to the military; quit "crying in your beer", over the 'despicable' nature of the enemy; and get down in the 'trenches' and show them whats horrifying!! Must I be censored on this site in suggesting how to recompense?! Geesh!!

#3 Find the bastards that made the video, drumhead courts martial and summary execution.

Or MOAB the area, since the townsfolk did not report the issue nor stop the crimiinal barbarism.

This is a still taken from the video. If you look closely on the lower right you can clearly see the date. 19 3 2000. The video is a hoax.

"The video is a hoax."

Or...they do not know how to setup the camera! Which is a lot more likely!

#6 We have crimminals wearing civilian clothing slithering around amongst civilian populations. They publically broadcast corpse mutilation in attempt to humilate their enemy. Tell me again why that after we capture these people they deserve to be treated under the Geneva Convention protocols.?.

#7 "The video is a hoax."

Good point, besides what was happening in March 2000? Now much.

#8 Any chance the idiot didn't know how to set the date properly when he got the camera?

#9 I like the idea of a moab. It would work on so many levels.

#10 Ya know, when you stand back and assess this mess, it's very clear no progress and no real objectives have been met there. There is no way to rationally deal with Muslims. The only real objective should be to eliminate them. Permanently. Everywhere. What do we want in this shithole? The oil? It will still be there in 50 years or so when the radiation levels drop. Let's get our people out of there and start taking care of business.

#11 SOP35, perhaps it's best to think of Iraq as a kind of cultural recon by fire. We had to know if they were truly interested in becoming civilized.

Afghanistan has answered in the negative; I think the Iraqis are still mulling it over.

#12 we have to get serious with the 'wreckege party' they always hold afterwoods. Note to US miltary/ Next time a chopper goes down locate the wreckege fast, wait for the festival to start and the corpse burning then fcking flatten it with anti personel cluster munitions or napalm. / I dont give a flying fck if kids are hoping on the wreckege either ,even if thier in wheel chairs rolling over the corpse! I for one am sick of these propagnda tapes and the way we just sit back and comment on how awful it was without actually taking any action to stop it happening again. I bet you could kill and maim at leat 300 Jihadis and their inbred familys that dance on our corpses and wreckage. Tough sht for them! they shoulda engaged thier brain and not acted like the little Koranimals they are. I honestly woudn't mind if we sent an unmanned chopper laced with nasty toxins and anthrax and ditch it in a jihadi hotspot and wait for the wreckege fest to turn into a nasty mess of disease for those who choose to act like animals.

#14 note, there are two distinct vids on the net purporting to represent the Army AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter "shoot down".

both vids have major fact flaws

#15 Re #10: WM, I am partial to 'ground level' for the MOAB action.

#16 MOAB? Every good car-swarm should host one.
