CNN Airs Islamic Death Porn
2006-10-19
Posted something similar last night that didn't make it to the list. These fuckers are really trying to boost morale, eh?

Every time you believe mainstream media simply canÂ’t debase themselves any further, they pull something like this.

CNN is airing a terrorist propaganda video showing the killing of US troops: Video shows snipersÂ’ chilling work in Iraq.

(CNN) — Chilling scenes from a videotape made by insurgents show the work of snipers in Iraq, targeting and killing American troops, taking them down with a single bullet from a high-powered rifle.

The graphic video of 10 sniper attacks was obtained by CNN — through intermediaries — from the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq.

In one scene, U.S. soldiers mingle among Iraqi civilians on a city street as a U.S. Humvee with a gunner in its turret stands guard nearby.

From a distance, possibly hundreds of yards away, a sniper watches for his opportunity to strike as a fellow insurgent operates a camera to capture the video for propaganda purposes.

They know it’s “for propaganda purposes,” and they gleefully put it on their front page anyway. CNN is openly doing the work of the enemy.

#19  Mark, if I may suggest one small wrinkle to your plan. A complete media black out once it commences.

#16  RC and Dunno: CNN proudly gives voice to the enemy. Your respective question answer themselves, don't they?

Has CNN HQ in Atlanta ever been fire bombed? Of course not. It's clearly enemy territory albeit occupied by innocent civilians. The good guys have not sunk to the level of the enemy.

Not yet.

#15  LoD: I thought you were advocating carpet bombing downtown Atlanta, lol! CNN headquarters. I'd just ask that you not hit the Federal Center a block or two away. Do some of my finest ranting from that building during lunch, lol!

#13  How is admittedly airing enemy propaganda NOT "providing aid and comfort" to our enemies?

Anyone?

#12  Twenty-four hours notice: Evacuate. Then level the whole "effing" place with a B-52, B-2, and B-1 led area bombing campaign. Of course, first chuck the 1977 Geneva Accord against area bombing, a plank we never should have signed to begin with.

Once the place has been reduced to smouldering rubble, say bye-bye to the shitty Sunnis and Shiites of Iraq. Let them all go hell.

#10  I couldn't think of any logical or sane reasons why CNN would even conisder showing footage of US Soldiers being shot ?

What a bunch of unsympathetic assholes.

Maybe we should all mass email the fkers and show our disapproval.

#6  Welcome to: Ted Turner's Tet Offensive. The only thing missing is the voice of Walter Cronkite narrating the "insurgent" sniper video explaining to the uninformed American people how the US militry is outclassed and doomed...doomed...and that Uncle Walter was saying all of this in February 2003 if only we had listened.

Here's an idea: identify the city where the video was made. Surround the city. Give the women & children and old folk inside 48 hours to evacuate. Detain all males ages 13-65. Then level the f**kin' city. Ground the rubble. Salt the earth. Repeat as needed.

To date we have not tried this technic, so what have we got to loose? It worked for Baby Assad's father circa 1981. The only difference being he didn't give time for an evac. It's called Hama Rules. It works.

As for what happens to the detained males ages 13-65 that take advantage of the evac: you cull the arabs, chechens, yemeni, iranians, syrians, egyptians, afghans, turks, kuwaities (sp?), paleos, pakis et al. All of whom will be repatriated in due course. Discreetly. From 30,000 feet.

Survival of iraqis aged 13-65 will depend, in great part, on their innate ability to lie.

Has my patience been exhausted in the manner in which the war has been prosecuted? Yes, it has. I'm now of the opinion you crush the enemy and those that suppoort the enemy and then maybe...maybe...you worry about rebuilding. It does not work trying to be nice. We know. Because we've tried.

#4  It appears they're trying to improve themselves. Apparently they aspire to be as respectable as al Jizz.

#3  It seems that Mr. Turner is still trying to make up his mind whether he is with the terrorists or against them.

Was there ever any doubt? Not to me.
