On the tenth anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq, we have decided to share this one video as an example, and a reminder, of just how terrible war really is. The mission, muddled, the enemy, undefined, the effort, a waste of time. This video of one single incident can almost summarize the entire misguided American adventure there.
For an overview on some of our coverage related to the so-called War on Terror, a few highlights were posted on our FACEBOOK page. You might also review labels such as 9/11, war on terror, etc., in the sidebar at right.
Beginning at about 20 seconds of this video, you will see an American rejoicing with rebels after a Syrian military helicopter was shot down. According to the American, they have just "smoked... about ten, twenty" Syrian soldiers.
Let's not forget, that the Syrian rebels are al-Qaeda, the same people who toppled Quadaffy in Libya at the same time we whine about al-Qaeda attacking our own consulate in Benghazi.
You have probably seen a few videos like this already, but here are a few archived for posterity now that filming has been prohibited by the TSA. It's bad press for the government to let you see tyranny in action, when it is presented in a negative light anyway. So now things like this will be swept under the carpet and made a routine part of our society. Just remember, the government terrorists are there for your safety.
