Just as we seldom see the WTC attacks on TV, and those poor souls jumping from the upper floors, YEs, we should also show the beheadings. Remind people what it's all about.

CNN is afraid of calling them terrorists because it would indicate that they side with evil.

CNN covered up abuses under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad bureau. That they have not shown the same delicacy around President Bush shows a double standard in play.

This is pro-terrorist media and nothing less.

I would suggest that if CNN is going to show OLD video, they show this video instead.

The Clinton News Network is working to defeat by all means the GOP--they will stop at nothing to gain power-just like a despot.

We can't see the beheadings videos or dead bodies from WTC/Pentagon/Pennsylvania because that is "insensitive" to the victims families.

But the media shows no such sensitivity to the families of our military.

Snipers have long been a force multiplier since the Civil War. In my opinion, the Army has not focused on providing this capability to the level that it needs to for an urban conflict. 1 trained sniper with 7.62 (.308) rifle accurate to 600 yards PER SQUAD should be a standard for an Infantry unit.

Marines are also somewhat guilty of this but since they focused more on rifle marksmanship during their basic training than the Army, they are not as impacted by this oversight.

I posted a vanity earlier this morning at

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1722111/posts

I don't watch television or read papers...my first exposure to CNN in probably 10 years came last night when I went to a friend's house, and I was just...well, enraged and disturbed by the way CNN was operating.

It was a real eyeopener for me. One thing to hear about CNN, another thing to actually see it with my own eyes.

It's truly a shame that we can't make videos that show the targeting of CNN and Al Jazeera reporters.

Well you know, CNN did have to pick a side in the WOT.

Since Israel is part of Western civilization they had to choose against us all ...of course.

What idiots.

No CNN refused to air that video because it might upset americans.

Now CNN is showing this assuming Democrats will be cheering soldiers being shot?

CNN is showing this because they want to convince americans to cut and run?

remember Osam ASSUMED 9/11 would have americans withdraw from the world.

CNN is doing the same thing.

This makes me want to fight harder.

Since most of us can't go.

I will fight at the ballot box.


Remember, every Republican elected is one more democrat electorally dead.
