A Public Service Announcement
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
This isn't scary at all. Nope. Not even a little. Notttttt a bit.I get that when you make a video like this, it is designed specifically to be alarmist. It is made to create a shock factor with the viewer. But even through all of the hyperbole, the nuggets of truth here about things that "could be" are scary enough.

I think the "he will make Cheney look like Ghandi" might be the scariest part. McCain's friends better keep their faces covered from friendly fire.
There is possibly one mistake in the video. NGOs,using sampling techniques have estimated civilian deaths in Iraq to be 600,000 to 1 Million.
The important part of the video is what it shows, that the news media has failed to show: ivilian dead and dismembered; the true cost of war.
I think there is evidence that some biological and chemical weapons were there. This shouldn't come as a complete surprise, especially to Rumsfeld, as he was part of the effort to supply Saddam with those kinds of weapons. That being said, I think that those kinds of weapons are better categorized as area denial, as opposed to WMDs.
I still believe this was a big mistake and could have been handled better.
Hey guys,
You have to give the creator of that film kudos for artistic impression and style and through all the hyperbole, there are grains of truth there.
One thing I found more than just interesting was the accusation that McCain is untried as a leader when this has been an accusation leveled at Obama since his opening bid.
I have a much more vested interest in Iraq, not that I didn't before, but more so now that my brother is over there and will be for another eleven months.
Thanks for keeping it real, guys.
Wow. Heavy shit there.
Yes plain obvious fear-mongering, but on the "other" side for once. I agree wholeheartedly with the point of this video, and understand that sometimes stretching something to this extreme is the only way to show people what the hell you mean!
Is propaganda still propaganda if it contains truth, regardless of the amount of truth it contains?

Is that the equivalent of "if a tree falls in the forest..."
I was going back through Smitty's posts, because I print them out and use them as toilet paper when I'm in a jam, and it just dawned on me why this post sent a chill through my backside. That frozen image on the video looks exactly like Dr. Evil. Mother of Gawd! Where's Austin Powers?
