Interesting Video for all to see:

YouTube - u.s. military pelted by rocks

I wonder how may kids they shot while not filming. Gotta love those photo ops with the US military posing with kids.

Winning the heart and mind of the Iraqi people

This one's even more reprehensible:

YouTube - Iraqi Kid Runs For Water

mad_dog · 25-11-2006, 05:57 PM

The Islamic Resistence Movement in Palestine started with children throwing rocks.

I also found the video on some other blogs, with some nice people leaving kind messages behind

Quote:

We don't get to see the places where the Iraqui people live. This armored truck went down the street in front of modest homes and with people going about their business. The Americans on the truck were having a fine time teasing the little boys (they looked about nine or ten years old) with bottles of clean water. Since we blew up the Iraqui water system clean water is really in short supply. We won't even sell the Iraquis the parts to repair the damage done by our 'Shock and Awe'. Those boys will grow up and they won't forget our kindness.
We really should expect that we will be on the receiving end of such 'kindness'in the future.

So, is it "hearts & minds" or "scorched earth" policy?
The 2 don't seem to go very well together.

This incident was widely reported in the British media (both print and broadcast) and the RMP are conducting an investigation.

Kid is a yank, he wouldn't know.

That doesn't seem to stop them from running their mouths, though.

KID · 26-11-2006, 09:56 PM

Notice your always running your crap spouter about America ya ignorant twat !!!

Guess ya didn't know that the BBC broadcasts here every night also???

stroller · 26-11-2006, 10:02 PM

So, why do you say the British media are censored, when you could have watched the reports yourself at the click of a button?

Mentally challenged, or what, dude?

Do you honestly think you get the WHOLE UNBIASED TRUTH ??? IF YOU DO THEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS MENTALLY CHALLENGED !!!

stroller · 26-11-2006, 10:51 PM

First you claimed the Brit media is censored, so you wouldn't get to see this news at all, then you said BBC is available every day in the States, now you question whether I think it's the whole truth.

Make up your mind which of these comments you want to discuss, and which to dismiss before you call anyone "ignorant twat" again, grasshopper.

raycarey · 26-11-2006, 10:52 PM

kid

why do you waste your time watching it if you think it is biased and less than 100% truthful?

Butterfly · 26-11-2006, 11:05 PM

maybe it's entertaining like when we watch Faux news and laugh our ass off.

KID · 26-11-2006, 11:12 PM

ALL media is censored and biased to the owners views. The best you can do is watch many different VIEWS and try and create your own opinion

If it's 'BBC World' it's a very pale imitation of the UK version of the BBC and is something they ought to be ashamed of. You can listen to serious BBC Radio (Radio 4) at the BBC website.

So true. I've even sent emails complaining about the quality of the reporting. But nothing has changed. I think they send both their "has been" and "newbie" staff to BBC World and, if they do a good job, they get to go to the real BBC.

I tend to watch CNN more, but that has its problems too. Richard Quest has turned out to be an immature joke, but still they employ him. Unbelieveable.
