1. Cripes. Another dirty little secret, not so secret now. nt

[jojo54]

2. WTF???

This isn't somebody's personal video game in realtime!!!

[YOY]

3. Don't compare this to a video game.

And don't compare these murderers to videogamers.

[jojo54]

8. Excuse me if you are a gamer!!!!!!

Let's get real here, that video is a LOT like what you see on the ads for video games!!!!!

[YOY]

9. Which video game is that?

Seriously? I've yet to see it.

That's reality. If you think that has a connection to violence in video games you are sadly mistaken.

Actually they've been trying to recruit gamers with some pretty pathetic commercials as of late. It has not been effective to say it simply.

[The Doctor.]

10. The point is clear...

These fucking assholes behave as though randomly firing at civilians is just a game. They are at a complete disconnect with reality in that they have absolutely no understanding of the ramifications.

These are the same assholes that would go on a rampage and scream 'injustice!' if someone did the same thing to one of their family members. They are mindless assholes with guns, and they are helping to create plenty of enemies in Iraq and the world.

[YOY]

19. Thrill killing is thrill killing. Treating human beings as game in some insane hunt.

I just don't like the comparision that has been used.

[The Doctor.]

21. OK, it's worse than a game...

They understand what they're doing and are enjoying it.

I was too kind when I said they didn't understand the reality.

[Az]

27. The issue isn't that it is a game to them

It is that they have dehumanized these people to the point that moral considerations do not extend to them. Thus they feel as though they have the right to treat them any way they please.

[MrPrax]

4. Usually reported as

"sporadic sectarian violence"

fucking Nazis...

[stellanoir]

5. Haven't got any links but I've heard on various radio shows that there are

closer to 150,000 private contractors (aka mercenaries) in Iraq.

Has anyone else heard this. . .?

"Short sightedness" says it succinctly. So does "sadism" and "wholesale slaughter."

What they REALLY hate us for is our freedom to do this with falsely presumed impunity.

13. Here is a link to a source watch article on PMC's...

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=PMC

They seem to provide a good list of references...

Peace.

[Hand]

20. Not all the contractors are military.

A lot are foreign workers who do things like drive trucks, load supplies, cook and serve food, and lord knows what menial tasks in the Green Zone. No surprise that many if not most of them are from third-world countries--a lot of Bangladeshis work in Iraq, for example, because it pays far far better than they'd make at home. For them, it's worth the risk.

That said, the second largest military force in Iraq is the PMCs, who come from everywhere--US, UK, Europe (eastern and western), Asia, Africa, you name it.

6. OMG!!! That's horrible!

[truebrit71]

12. Wow....powerful stuff...

Wish it was more widespread though...

[truebrit71]

11. You have got to be kidding me?!!

WTF kind of fucked-up bullshit is that?

[ryanus]

15. more footage

[everydayis911]

23. That is

Disgusting, and to think on this video it's our troops killing innocent people. I know it happens when they fight and shoot randomly, but there is no excuse for this. And as far as those contractors same thing goes. That video is about a year old, so they probably have killed a lot more since. It's too bad we can't send the contractors to the White House and Cheney's house to do some hunting. Let them know what kind of monsters they released to the Iraqi people. Because unlike the Iraqi's Bush and Cheney are guilty and should pay the ultimate price for what they have done. Bush and Cheney are WMD :mad:

[Usrename]

14. It would be great if they were rogue contractors.

Unfortunately, they get paid to do that.

[SteppingRazor]

16. I've see that whole video.

Pretty hair-raising stuff. It lasts for that entire song. Sometimes, they wait for the people in the cars behind them to get so close, you can see the expressions on their faces when the guns come out.

24. OMFG!?! This is insane.

Something must be done to stop this.

[L0oniX]

25. Looks like a good solution to tail gating

:sarcasm:

[Kurovski]

26. Sick sociopaths getting paid a high wage.

I can't say what I'm thinking.

recommended.

[raccoon]

28. Remember in the movie "Schindler's List" a prison guard was

taking pot shots at concentration camp inmates? That's what this reminds me of.

I haven't seen the video, but I entirely believe this is going on.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Of course the dipshit corporate media wouldn't touch this with a ten-foot pole.

The average US citizen will never hear of this, and will wonder why Iraqis aren't eternally grateful to the US for invading liberating their country, and wonder why "they" hate us for our unbelievably overwhelming arrogance freedoms.
