I can't see the air that I breathe, but I'm pretty sure it's there.

To anyone who cares:
I lived in Africa and the people, especially on the western coast, love America... all they could say was, "Do you know Michael Jordan" or "How can I work in America" or "I love America" or "Come sit and eat with my family" or "Would you like water" or "Come sit and we'll talk for awhile" or "What nation are you from because you work hard, not like the other whites" or "We love America." Africans love us.
Can not get it to open.
You think rebels in Africa are not sophisticated enough to produce propaganda? Please question what you see - Ivory Coast is French Speaking - few can read and write in their native land - and suddenly you have these signs in English - perfect for the cameras?
Be wary and aware.
LOL as much as I would like to believe what's written on those signs is real. In the day of Photoshop, among other things you just never know....
Its doubtful that the french set fire to the UN vehicle so someone in the crowd had to do that.
Sorry about dp. Nerve in pointer jerked with finger on mouse.
When I make a post to you, I expect you to understand that we agree on common ground. Your nonsensical diatribe on the obvious wounds was wasted hot air.
There are portions of this video that seem to be embelished anguish without visible cause. Propagandists do this to cause emotional repsonse in the viewer. Is that what is going on in parts of this? I'm not sure.
I never said the whole thing was a hoax. I simply made the observation that part of the video seemed to show scenes that made me somewhat sceptical about their authenticity.
In the first video you can see the French firing warning shots at the street in front of the protestors. A few of the protestors are hit by shrapnel.
Neither video shows what precipitated the deadly firing. I have to agree with some of the more rational posters here that the scene after the shooting is surreal. There were people still standing around like nothing happened and the French casually drove off. Weird.
The burning of the U.N. vehicle was a nice touch at the end, as the French retreated.
Yea know what? If i saw my wife or friends head explode infront of me.. i might want to set something on fire..
This was taken when France first sent there troops in to help the muslims.
Was posted on FR awhile back did a google image search and found it.
"The top comes off and the pants stay. There was no checking for wounds."
Maybe some of them had heat stroke, I don't know it's just guess.
I am actually lactose intolerant - I tend to avoid cheese - but your cheesy post drew my attention.
This says it all...maybe this set the French off. The second video is clearer. The local crowd is singing a song behind a rope line and then the French soldiers start popping rounds. You can see firing from more than one french soldier. It appears all small arms fire...no crew served weapons. But its the French firing...no question.
Okies. I'm using a new client. It seems stable, but I've found it has some quirks. Having said that though, it's the best I've seen yet: Azureus is the name of it. I recommend it!
In the name of the holy spirit
God the father
God the son
God...
Jesus is here
Holy spirit
(I think! Sounds like our sign of the cross prayer.)
As I said to another poster, I expect you to understand that we agree on the obvious. Try and remain calm and understand that some of the scenes look somewhat staged. This is a tragic event to be sure, but the attempt to cast the French in an unfavorable light is supported best by full disclosure and accurate depictions. When I see scenes that appears as if staged, it makes me question the overall motives of the producer of the video.
