| #14 The sounds of miniguns is heartwarming. I wonder how the ambasador handled this one. I would love to hear him tell the Syrians that as long as they harbor AQ they will be a target.... |

| #13 looks like cellphone video to me. i am just glad we finally decided to take on the issue in syria instead of letting the jihadis have a safe haven. better late than never. |

| #9 "What are the odds of Syria TV having cameras rolling on site at some minor village construction site?" To; cut some slack at the syrian propaganda guys, the footage most probably is shot by a local, using cellphone or whatever, and was retrieved by the officials later. That's why it shows nothing, past the helicos and the strafing sound far away, because it's made by a guy who just happened to be in the vicinity, not on site, and who doesn't really know what he's doing but films anyway. You know the type, now it's seen everywhere, people filming stuff with their cellphones, holding them at arm's lenght, looks pretty sordid when it's an accident or something, this is the arab version. |

| #7 It's very queer -- I saw no sign of human life except that the camera was operated. Granted, I was looking for people walking around and working, perhaps the sounds of hammering and cement mixers, a bit of classic construction worker cursing, whistles as the guard's wife walked by -- why a guard tower at a construction site, is that normal? Perhaps Old Patriot and others can explain what I would have noticed had I been properly trained. Still, the Americans have said it was a Special Forces raid, so the footage must be real... whatever it shows. |

| #6 "What are the odds of Syria TV having cameras rolling on site at some minor village construction site?" Pretty good when they're assigned to photograph Syrian choppers through wax paper. |

| #5 I love the part about the debarked troops firing wildly on construction workers and civilians as soon as they set foot on the ground. And the A10 which is heard firing in the background is probably aiming at random goat herders. CF is right, this just doesn't feel right without GHG. He has that magic. |

| #2 Wow! What are the odds of Syria TV having cameras rolling on site at some minor village construction site? Pencil-neck should have bought a PowerBall ticket! |
