What version of Windows Media player do you have?

[arasina]

9.0? The latest version, I believe. I'll try using my (ack!) IE browser and see if that works.

[abner]

I'm not that savvy with what player works with what. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

Myth: American Atrocities Were Widespread

If they were they were covered up with extraordinary skill and precision. Only two documented cases of War Crimes can be attributed to American Military personnel. One was the senseless slaughter of civilians in March 1968 at the village of My Lai by the 1st platoon of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion 20th Infantry, 11th Light Infantry Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division (Americal). The other was the murder of 16 noncombatant women and children by five U.S. Marines of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, at a village named Son Thang-4, southwest of Danang, on 19 February 1970. In both cases there was a court martial, and in both cases the accused were found guilty.

In the case of Lt. William Calley, President Nixon stepped in and pardoned him after he had spent three years under house arrest. Why Nixon did this is unknown, but it is beyond belief that he would do such a thing. For the end result is a slap in the face to every Vietnam Veteran who did their job and served with honor by adhering to the Rules of Land Warfare of the 1949 Geneva Convention which set the rules of engagement and expressly forbid the type of behavior exhibited by Calley and the thugs he commanded. They were not soldiers. They were thugs.

But while these egregious crimes have been trotted out at every opportunity by the anti-war movement, very little attention was paid to the horrendous atrocities committed by the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong on their own people. One of the end results of the 1968 Tet offensive was the deliberate roundup and murder of as many as 5,000 South Vietnamese civilians--doctors, teachers, lawyers, businessmen--by the NVA/VC during the periods that they held territory. The most widespread atrocities occurred in the Imperial city of Hue. There alone the Communists killed over 3,000 South Vietnamese. This behavior was not widely reported by the press, and either ignored by the anti-war movement at best, or justified by them as necessary in a socialist revolution.

Additionally, not much of a fuss has been made over the intentional murder of American civilians (including missionaries and USAID workers) captured and murdered by the North Vietnamese. U.S. POWs did not fair any better. Those that were not murdered were systematically tortured by the North Vietnamese. Although these atrocities qualify as war crimes under the Geneva Convention, the lunatic fringe of the radical left condones those acts as "justifiable".

Marking to try links later. The server seems to be overwhelmed at this time.

Thank you for providing the information.

John Kerry in 1971 was an angry man full of hate for society. It is easy to see, from his rhetoric, that he is still full of anger and hate. This man must not become the President. We must work very hard to see that President Bush is reelected in 2004.

I was able to get the WMP to play part of it but it's taking too long on buffering. I'll return later when there's not so much traffic on the website server. Thanks for your help.

[abner]

Thanks for the info.

[spodefly]

I smell smoke ... the servers have died. Must be getting a ton of traffic.

Mark for later.

I'm working on getting another place to put them.

[spodefly]

If I can get them down, I will place them on my server for today. The rack that I can put them on will not be bandwidth limited per request so there should be some good throughput, but I can only deal with about 15GB of transfer from that box, so they will have to come down in a day or so.

I'll post updated links if I get them out there anytime soon.

[abner]

This doesn't seem to be a bandwidth issue, but a denial of service attack issue.

[dead]

I got to look at the fourth one, but I'm still not sure which one is Kerry. Is he the "More bullsh*t!" guy?

[WTSand]

The fourth one seems to be a dead link. The others are .wmv format Windows Media Player 9 ,I think.

[spodefly]

They are on my server now, so that might take some strain off yours. I'll leave these links up for the rest of the day at least.
