2. Is that bloody INCREDIBLE or what...

...oh man...

[Bassic]

3. I can't access any streaming

What's it about?

[LynnTheDem]

5. I'll PM you so as not to give it away for others...

But if & when you can get to a puter you can stream on, you REALLY REALLY REALLY need to watch this video.

[RedRocco]

9. its a flash

not streaming media

[Kukesa]

4. My heart is breaking . . . n/t

[Lancer]

6. The people who need to see it most, won't

Heartbreaking.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Yes like the asshole FReepers!

Disgusting individuals that they are, probably wouldn't phase them even if they did happen to watch this. Have to find some way to justify the unjustifiable so that they don't have to admit what a HUGH!!111 mistake this destruction is.

[DistressedAmerican]

7. I Trusted You And I Am Glad I Did! Nominated!

Please watch this. It is excellent!

[leftchick]

8. Wow! Thank You Lynn!

That was amazing and devastating at the same time. :cry:

[willing dwarf]

10. So young

SO many of them look so young, so willing. Even the ones who look tough look mostly like they were just rying to be strong and brave because they were expected to be.

God bless them. What a horrible thing to be the mother or father of one of those kids and know that your child had been lost to a lie.

[Nimrod2005]

11. WOW!!! Thank you for posting

Thanks to all who take the time to help the rest of the country see the light.

[LynnTheDem]

12. Thanks, Nim!

Welcome to DU. :hi: :hug:

34. Hi Nimrod2005!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[johnnie]

13. I saw that last week

It really is tough to watch. I have to say though, and don't think I am bashing the video but a lot of the faces I seen pop up a few times. Possible explanation is they might not have pictures of some of them.

[daninthemoon]

19. I noticed that too. I'm very choked up, but I wish the photos had

only been used once for authenticity. I don't feel I can pass this on, because too many would see the dupes as misleading. I'm sure this could have been every bit as effective with some kind of stop at the break, and then a caption like "one more time". As it is, it's not at all clear just how many people are actually shown, or how many times.
Very unfortunate. Can we contact these guys for an explanation, or maybe even a re-edit? It's a strong piece, and I sure wish I could pass it on.

[johnnie]

23. I agree with you

I found it to be very powerful but I didn't pass it on for the same reason.

[LynnTheDem]

24. They were used only once, IIRC

They show the entire group of 500 several times.

[chalky]

42. How can you tell there are dupes? The film lasts 5 minutes, has a

40 second intro, has a 1 minute montage of caskets and about a 5 second break with a picture of Dick(head) flashing, leaving leaving less than half a second to show 500 pictures.

And they flash by at just about that speed.

And there's certainly no time to show 500 photos more than once.

[Tommy_J]

14. Kicking

[Clintmax]

15. Good gods.

:cry:

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Holy Moly. Very powerful video.

:cry:

[elehhhhna]

17. can't finish it

not willing

fuck

[LynnTheDem]

18. You need to see the ending.

It's got a bit of a surprise ending to it.

:hug:

[elehhhhna]

20. okay Lynn I'm going back.

done.

I want to throw up.

[LynnTheDem]

28. A bit of a shock,

the "since January 2005" part.

:cry:

[porphyrian]

21. They repeat the faces throughout the presentation.

I mean, it's still powerful, but I think that it might be a bit dishonest. I believe it's the end bit where they show the recent 500 in a row, not throughout the entire thing. The way it's presented, people might not get that, or worse, they might realize the same thing I have and dismiss it entirely as propaganda.

[LynnTheDem]

26. They show all 500 pics several times.

And if you want the names, ranks, ages, etc, of all 500, go to

[porphyrian]

35. That's a great site, thanks.

Does anyone know if anyone has made an updated collage of all the faces of the dead soldiers like the one that came out almost two years ago where they made a picture of bush's face? Know what I'm talking about?

I think having all the faces in one place is very powerful. Maybe someone should do a picture similar to the one I mentioned with the "mission accomplished" photo.

[chalky]

41. I don't think there were repeats. I just watched it again, God help me.

Just to time the film. It lasts for about 5 minutes. If you account for the forty second intro, the five second Cheney break and the one minute casket montage, that leaves 195 seconds. How do you show 500 pics several times in 195 seconds? Even one showing of 500 pictures in that time gives each picture .39 seconds of viewing time.

[noamnety]

47. It repeats

I saw a few that I recognized flash by more than once.

[blossomstar]

22. I cried... all those families pain...that will last forever, for what?

[dogday]

27. My son leaves for Tikrit in November

I just saw him for the last time until Christmas 2006. Watching this and hearing about Binka's son being wounded has me totally upset. He is so young and does not understand what he is getting into.

[LynnTheDem]

29. My hubby's unit is going back for another tour in a few weeks.

Young or old, none of them understand what they're getting into. None of them realize they are about to be changed forever; the scars will never fade.

Hang in there, dogday; it's gonna be a tough ride, I know. :hug:

GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL, BUSH.

[dogday]

44. Thanks Lynn, I appreciate the support

My Son and his friend just act like this is one big event. They have no idea what they are in for and they will not be the same. The boy I kissed and hugged goodbye will never be there again, he will be replaced by a man who is seasoned by war.....

[derby378]

30. So where I can download this thing?

Any ideas? Or is it on-line viewing only?

[LynnTheDem]

33. No idea, derby, but you could contact the owner at (LINK)

HTH :)

[ThatsMyBarack]

31. Hey, Lynn!

I can't get it to load, either.

Please PM me the link, too? Thank U. :)

[LynnTheDem]

32. Try this...

http://theunitedamerican.blogs.com/bring_it_on/2005/09/new_video_2000.html

PS welcome to DU :hi:

[ThatsMyBarack]

46. Thanks, Lynn....

....but it just sits there flashing LOADING.

[LynnTheDem]

50. Are you on dial-up?

My dial-up puter didn't load, either, but my laptop did.

Sorry, I'm a total dweeb at puters so can't help you there. Hopefully someone else has suggestions.

The video starts; "Have you ever wondered what 2000 looks like?"

Then there's a flash presentation of bush & Cartel quotes (lies) re WMD etc, while soldier pics flash. At the end it says "This isn't even close to what 2000 looks like" (and the entire stream of soldier pics flash) "This is only the 500 killed since January 2005."

REALLY worth watching if you can get it to load.

[Peace Patriot]

36. Recommended! Make it real! Keep it real! The truth will win out...

...in the end.

[rustydog]

37. Very powerful. forwarded to family, nominated Greatest

[spuddonna]

40. This is so sad... and makes me so angry!

So many people died... for what? The entire war was based on lies...

Those poor families... :cry:

[dretceterini]

43. this is just 1% of the lies

that has been told by Buschco...

[Pam-Moby]
