I didn't realise how close the camera's would actually be to all the action. I realise that technology has advanced since the last Gulf war but "wow", it really brings the destruction to your front door. We are also hearing, on the evening news, reporters who are actually advancing with the front line troops. War TV is scary.

Don't be fooled dude. They're only showing what they want you to see. And believe me, they don't show what the reality of war really looks like.
They're trying to put it across like it's some kinda John Wayne thing.
Journalists have been at the front line for every war. This is nothing new (even if they had to disguise themselves to do it)

go to www.ogrish.com (there's loads of others as well) and troll through their archives for the war pictures if you want to see what they won't show on happy happy TV land.

Yeah its frightening. What I find even scarier is channel 46 CNbc. Its the stock market/business report channel. They have a big logo on the screen that says "The Price of War" The U.S. stock market went up 900 points last week after Bush said we were definately going to war. Markets in other parts of the world went up too. If you watch you can get daily updated financial advise from brokers and analysts on how to adjust your portfolio to maximize profits. If the free market represents the collective conscience of millions of consumers and the and the market goes up I guess that means that "war is good." SCARY!!!!

It's sick. The worst catastrophe that happens to people and the wall street crowd is licking their chops and rubbing their greedy little hands together.

I actually vacationed in Nova Scotia this summer. Turns out I have peeps there - there acadians. Lots of fam - very cool. FUn to find out that I descend from loyalists. :-) Beautiful place, Nova Scotia. Had a WONDERFUL time and met some cool Canadians (as well as some not so cool Quebecers) in the b&b's.

Enron and Bush info. Number one contributor to Bush's 2000 campaign. Enron. Logo painted on the side of jet Bushed used to fly around in during his campaign. Enron. Number of key officials in Bush's Admin affiliated with Enron.41... Enron was a corrupt company (duH!) NOw according to what I learned my from logic professor many years ago one cannot directly make the inference that Since Enron is corrupt Ergo the Bush Administration is corrupt. I ask you this. "what does your gut tell you" After all were suppossed to believe in a connection between Osama bin laden and Saddam Hussein but no connection between Enron and the Bush Administration. Not to mention big oil. Somebody help me out here my logic circuits are melting. One thing I do know. On 11/07/04 Unless I am dead or in a coma I am not voting for that dim wit. God help us if the stock market keeps rallying like it has he may get re-elected. Scarrrrryyy...

Yup, have you read the document? After all it is the ideological basis of the Bush administration.. in fact they even quote bits of it verbatim in white house policy documents..

The imperialism is economic, not territorial..

Do some research,your naivity is painful...

Just saw some Al Jazeera footage on the news showing those US P.O.W.... they said Rumsfeld forbids to have it shown in the US. Sooo keen to show Baghdad being ironed out by bombs, but when the real illustration of war comes knocking on the publics' door he keeps it shut.sheesh

what ? this is a REAL war on TV ? I thought it was like one of those reality TV shows, like I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. I swear I saw Jimmy Crankee and Sue Pollard concentrating mortar fire on Basra last night.
