"As bad as that tape is to listen to, it's something more people need to hear.
It takes the sanitized t.v. element off the war and drops the horror of it right in your lap.
I agree with you though that if you hear it once, you never forget it.
We have similar opinions of the Berg family.
He is a SICK ugly man..delusional!
"We'll get the other jackasses as well. Whenever they pop their heads up out of the holes they hide in, we'll snag them."
From your lips to God's ears.
Nice catch on a breaking story...
I think he was going to try to contract for cell phone or satellite or something along those lines. At the time I thought he was foolish to go there during the war to try to cash in.
Great scorecard!
God bless our troops and the people of Iraq.
Couldn't have happened at a better time. We are on our way today to Oklahoma with two vehicles.!!! Now, if someone could just produce a snow storm so that we do not have to use the air!
What GREAT news to wake up to!
I know. But I'm trying to keep a Christian thought in my head towards the guy. And it's not easy.
I thought that from the start, like other so prepared ones upon similar news.
I know, irrelevant question at a time like this, but when something happens in the middle of the night, do they waken the President with a knock on his door or a phone call?
Just a trivial detail I am curious about.
Well, I have never heard the sound of a person being murdered, don't even like to watch or read murder mysteries, but it is haunting - maybe more would change thir opinion, but I do think we should be able to see the 9/11/01 scenes more often to remind folks why we are fighting.
Uh, we don't generally post quotes from DU here.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday Iran is ready to discuss "mutual concerns" over its nuclear program and claimed the West had given in to the will of the Iranian nation.
Ahmadinejad did not say whether Iran accepted a Western proposal for resuming negotiations that demands Tehran suspend uranium enrichment in return for a package of incentives .
"On behalf of the Iranian nation, I'm announcing that the Iranian nation will never hold negotiations about its definite rights with anybody, but we are for talks about mutual concerns to resolve misunderstandings in the international arena," Ahmadinejad told thousands of people in Qazvin, west of the capital Tehran.

Now that you mention it, I do remember thinking it likely he was sent by his dad, based on the reports back at the time.
