I can't stand that half-hearted commitment so many of the smaller contributers in allied missions show, if anything we need to avoid drifting into that level of commitment. Actions like the Medak Pocket have shown that Canada won't back down from their mission once we sign on. That attitude of...

wow, how impressive are the dutch, you'd think they might have something to prove after Srebrenica

Frontline is some of the best journalism around. Too bad frontline's 2 hour Iraq program, where they recounted the entire ground war of GW2 isnt available online, it had some of the most intense footage i've ever seen. I guess its war porn, but its good stuff.

I call BS on them having his DNA. There is so much dis-information and lies going out about this guy. He's an ethnic Palestinian born in a refugee camp, he's a Jordanian, he lost his leg, his leg was only damaged, he's on the run...it goes on and on. We've heard he's been killed at least 5...

Yeah right, as if the Saddam the bad guy story hasnt been done to death already. We've heard Saddam do everything from razing villages to pulling incubator cords (bs) and everyone knows he was an oppressive dictator. I'm sorry the media doesnt bow to your partisan objectives but they've done...

http://www.worldpicturenews.com/web/news_index.aspx Sorry, no direct link On the right hand side there's a features section, go to page 2 and look at US in Afghanistan to see some spectacular images of fighting in Zabul prov.

Yeah its an interesting situation, Iran flanked by Iraq and Afghanistan, Iraq flanked by Iran and Syria. Iran-Syria Mutual self Defence pact http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,12858,1416319,00.html

Standard sabre-rattling, we've heard this all before. And yes, they do literally call for the absolute destruction of Israel. What I find about this story so interesting is why its news worthy, probably because Sharon is using the media scrutiny of Iran to call for Iran's removal from the UN...

Agreed Its pretty enraging to see Iraqis throwing rocks at the strung-up, charred remains of contractors while a crowd taunts and screams. I would speculate(I'm no expert on muslim culture) that muslims would be equally enraged, regardless of their opinion of American actions, seeing...

You're right, Canada has nothing to do with abu graib, but I wasn't talking about Canada. I'll be a bit more clear. Actions like this are incredibly insulting to Muslims, and it'll go a long way towards alienating the population. To the people of Afghanistan it looks awfully familiar to the...

In the west we've always taken pride that we had the moral high ground, whatever basic human rights or rules of war were violated by the enemy, we were above that. To any afghani that hears of this, what differentiates us from the soviets? Between this, Gitmo, and Abu Graib I'm beginning to...

yeah that sgt.'s barracks is a site to behold eh.  Looked like that almost everyday, save the weekend we all had to clean it and had change parade...

Nice site dude, way better than that shitty Canteen...
