4 American Soldiers and 8 British Soldiers That Didn’t Have To Die

4 Replies

This tragic accident only emphasizes the dangerous situation our troops are up against over there.
It’s too dangerous to even fly a helicopter safely during a sandstorm.
Here are more details from a KTVU News broadcast here in San Francisco.
If someone knows more information about the 8 British soldiers that were killed, please let me know so that I can post their information here.
These soldiers that are dying for oil aren’t just numbers on a page. They are human beings with names and families. How many human beings must die for this war of “Iraqi Freedom”?

I hear there are 30,000 or so people in Civic Center so, you know, I hate to be a party pooper!
I’ll have whatever I shoot today — and the rest of footage from Thursday going up tonight and all day tomorrow. (I’ve got to catch up so I can get back to my SXSW and Spectrum Conference footage.)

Repubs Slash Veterans Benefits

How can the Shrub Administration proudly send our boys and girls off to war, while quietly cutting their benefits by billions at the same time?

Congressman Lane Evans (D-IL), the Ranking Democratic Member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, today said the budget adopted by the House Budget Committee would mean drastic reductions in funding for veterans

My Mistake. Natalie Actually Did Apologize

How sad.
McCarthyism lives!. It worked then and it works now.

Statement from Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks
March 14, 2003
“As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers’ lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American.”

Note: This set of video clips does not contain the ones from my earlier posts here and here.
Note that the hi-resolution clips might not have uploaded yet till about an hour after this post. (I’m having tech difficulties and it could be longer.)
This is footage of people getting arrested and the people around me yelling at the cops. Note: Just to clarify… I myself am not yelling at the cops.
In general, as a personal decision, I choose to not yell at the cops.
(Call me conservative 🙂
It would also screw up my video footage if I yelled while I was filming.

An Apology From Natalie Maines

But now, thanks to the thousands of angry people who want radio stations to boycott our music because criticizing the President is unpatriotic, I realize it’s wrong to have a liberal opinion if you’re a country music artist. I guess I should have thought about that before deciding to play music that attracts hypocritical red necks…
And most important of all, I realize that it’s wrong for a celebrity to voice a political opinion, unless they’re Charlie Daniels, Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr, Amy Grant, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Lee Greenwood, Lorrie Morgan, Anita Bryant, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria Jackson, Charleton Heston, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Kevin Costner, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill O’Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse Ventura.

As usual, our first casualties of war are friendly fire and accidents. It’s such a waste of lives.
(Note 3/22/03 – damn! I had my VCR on the wrong setting and it didn’t record ollie or the messages from the boys mentioned below 🙁
I’ll have this up soon from some footage I sampled on television. Oliver North “Fox News Correspondent” in Kuwait actually witnessed the accident.
I’ve also got some footage of “our boys” sending messages home to their families. I do however, have footage from the families of those that were killed coming soon here.
Be safe guys!
