"There are 131,000 persons in Canada who have been prohibited from owning
firearms by the courts, another 36,000 with active restraining orders and
more than 9,000 persons who have had their firearms licenses refused or
revoked. The trouble is the government doesn't make any attempt to track
them so police will know where the bad guys actually are." According to
Opposition MP, Gary Breitkreuz. "Two million law-abiding licensed firearms
owners are required by the Firearms Act to report their change of address
within 30 days or face up to 2 years in jail. But thousands of
proven-to-be-dangerous persons are free to roam Canada without telling the
police where they live. This is absurd".

Posted by someone who obviously wasn't
around for all the boasting about "TechnoWar"
40 years ago and how those Vietcong didn't
have a chance against the US military.

Really, Froggy, try not to be soooo
naive about these things.

The VC didn't have a chance, and they were killed in droves.

The war was lost by the U.S. because the lefties here were supporting the
enemy.

The VC were completely destroyed as a fighting force during the Tet
offfensive. The NVA had to take over the war at that point.

The war was lost because it was being run by politicians who did not
have the will to win, which in turn caused the citizenry to become
disenchanted with the war effort. It had nothing to do with the
ability of the military.

The Viet Cong were destroyed during Tet? That is the stupidest thing I
have ever heard. Yes, they suffered large losses in the area of Saigon and
around other main bases but no mater how many you killed there were always
more to take their place and every year more and more of them came of age to
fill the ranks.The war was lost because the American people finally lost
trust in the political and military leaders that had missled them for so
many years. The troops on the ground gave it their best but they were, in
the end betrayed by their leaders. I really don't think the Americam
military will be as forgiving for as long this time in Iraq. PS I was in
Saigon during Tet on TDY from Japan and it was not a good place to be in
during that time.I also had two tours in Vietnam so I speak with some
experience of the times.

It wasn't a lack of willpower that has put us in these situations time and
again. It's greed, plain and simple.

Admittedly, we have the capability to win the vast majority of conflicts.
However, that is only if we intend to win.

As we are seeing with Iraq, there is far more money to bilk from the
American people in prolonging a war effort. Last I paid any attention, Bush
was demanding $60 Billion for it. All it takes is for a little bit of that
to stick to his fingers. Johnson did the same during 'Nam. He covertly
invested in arms manufacturing companies. Got called to the carpet for it
too. Nature of the beast, I suppose. Not a bad way to grab a bit more power,
either. Gotta put down those peace-nik types, etc.

If a politician is making a distraction and excuses, or talking about
"necessity", you can bet there's money being made or power grabbed.

Seems to me the Geneva Convention covers uniformed combatants.

Civilian criminals in ambush situations would not appear to be
covered.

And all lefties are not stupid, some of them are quite clever lying

Oddly enough, the little cocksuckers are the first and the loudest to

Considering that you have an illegal occupation situation, non-uniformed
"civilian" combatants would either be "freedom fighters" or "patriots".

They won't have to. We'll be out of there a lot earlier. For one thing -
there won't be a Tet-like event. The VC had the military supply
capavbilities of Red China behind them. The Iraqi "insurgent" have no one.

The only problem I have is that the vehicle on the left is a tractor with a
cultivator attached, as seen to the right of the tractor where there are
obvious rows.

It would seem that they took out three farmers, no sign of weapons.

From the video we can't tell if they're wearing uniforms or not hell we
can't even see weapons. Even if they are in fact guerillas the US should
still at least live up to the spirit of the Geneva convention, after all
you are saying that the old regime was evil for doing the very same
thing. Don't you find that a little hypocritical? Oh yeah that's right

The "tractor" on the left is a towed 12.5mm or 20mm AA cannon. It was
probably engaging the US helipcopters, since its barrel is still hot.

The first target hit has an AKM under his coat. The AKM is clearly
visible on the ground, towards the left of the frame, best seen
between 0:27 and 0:29 as the camera pans back over to the trucks.

After neutralizing the 1st target, the AA gun is engaged. You can
clearly see the operator working with the ammunition feed belts just
prior to the cannon being taken out.

Finally, the two trucks are engaged, first the larger 5t cargo truck,
then the smaller 3/4t one. Both trucks were mission-killed by having
their engine compartments shot up. The Apache was obviously engaging
the trucks, not the person seen crawling around on the ground. That
person is not even visible when the first truck is engaged.

My interpretation of this is just as good as anyone else's.

In all honesty, we did not lose. We left Viet Nam in accordance with a peace
treaty which was negotiated with the Communists. As I understand it, the
North Vietnamese pretty much behaved themselves for a couple of years.It
wasn't until after they realized that we would not rescue South Viet Nam
again that they invaded in force and overran the country.

Too bad he didn't think to surrender. Or better yet, not be toting a weapon
in a war zone. He won't make that mistake again.

The trucks are "empty?" How much room does it take for a load of RPGs and
reloads?

True. But sometimes it's just not practical to individually gut them like
fish and bury them with pig entrails.


From the ABCNews site:

The video opens with the helicopter tracking a man in a pickup truck north
of Baghdad on Dec. 1, one day after the 4th Infantry Division engaged in the
bloodiest battles with Iraqi insurgents since the end of major combat.

The pilots watch as the man pulls over and gets out to talk to another man
waiting by a larger truck.

"Uh, big truck over here," one of the pilots is heard saying. "He's having a
little powwow."

The pickup driver looks around, then reaches into his vehicle, takes out a
tube-shaped object that appears to be about 4 or 5 feet long, and runs away
from the road into a field. He drops the object in the field and heads back
to the trucks.

"I got a guy running throwing a weapon," one of the pilots says. Retired
Gen. Jack Keane, an ABCNEWS consultant who viewed the tape, said the object
looked like a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, "or something larger than a
rifle."

The pilots check in with their operational commander, who is monitoring the
situation. When they tell him they are sure the man was carrying a weapon,
he tells them: "Engage. Smoke him."

The pilots wait as a tractor arrives on the scene, near the spot where the
pickup driver dropped the object. One of the Iraqis approaches the tractor
driver.

Then, within minutes, the Apache pilots open fire with the heavy 30 mm
cannon, killing first the Iraqi in the field, then the tractor driver. The
pilots then fire at the large truck and wait to see if they hit the last of
three men.

When he rolls out from under the truck, one of the pilots says, "He's
wounded."

The other pilot says, "Hit him," and the Apache opens fire again, killing
the man.

The Apache fires nearly 100 30 mm cannon rounds in all.


Engagement Called Justified

A senior Army official who viewed the tape said the pilots had the legal
right to kill the men because they were carrying a weapon. He said there
were no ground troops in the area and if the Apache pilots had let the three
Iraqis go, the men might have gone on to kill American troops.

Keane agreed. "Those weapons were obviously not being pointed at them in
particular, but they [the three Iraqis] are using those weapons in their
minds for lethal means and they [the Apache pilots] have a right to
interfere with that," he said.

Anthony Cordesman, an ABCNEWS defense consultant who also viewed the tape,
said the Apache pilots would have had a much clearer picture of the scene
than what was recorded on the videotape. He also said they would have had
intelligence about the identity of the men in the vehicles. "They're not
getting a sort of blurred picture. They have a combination of intelligence
and much better imagery than we can see."

As to whether the Apache pilots could have called in ground troops to
apprehend the men, Cordesman said: "In this kind of war, wherever you find
organized resistance among the insurgents, you have to act immediately. If
you wait to send in ground troops almost invariably your enemy is going to
be gone."

Army officials acknowledged that the 30 mm cannons used by the Apache
gunners were far bigger than what was needed to kill the men, but said it is
the smallest weapon the Apaches have.

who do you think was charging into south vietnam in uniforms and

the war was lost when the post-watergate, two-thirds-demoshit congress
cut off all aid to south vietnam. it was one thing to pull out our
troops, but to cut off all materiel to an ally was something else. oh

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12639-2004Jan13.html

MONTERREY, Mexico, Jan. 13 -- President Bush on Tuesday rescinded his
widely criticized ban against Canadian companies bidding for
reconstruction contracts in Iraq, part of his effort to mend fences and
improve his image with leaders attending a hemispheric summit.

Bush announced the reversal after a breakfast meeting with the new
Canadian prime minister, Paul Martin, as one of several White House
concessions and gestures during the two-day Summit of the Americas. They
were designed to help defuse rising anti-Americanism and criticism of
his policies in the region.

The administration had said last month that Canada, France, Germany,
Mexico and Russia would be among the countries barred from seeking
contracts because they had refused to join the U.S.-led invasion of
Iraq. The first round of contracts, which excluded those countries, was
worth about $5 billion.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said three or four other nations
might be removed from the blacklist soon. Officials said they would base
their decisions in part on countries' pledges toward Iraq reconstruction.

You will find that I am not an idiot.

horrendous battles of our Civil War is close and serves as a reminder of our
struggle to free men and keep our union together. On both sides of my
family there are members who have served in our military.

While Iraq is not (yet) free, it will be soon. It will have to decide
whether to stay that way, a gift we give them, or to let it slip through

Gee, what do you base that fairy story on? You've had six months or more to give
the people of Iraq their freedom, so far you've stolen the control of their
major asset and you've denied them any of the normal steps towards freedom.
You've denied them freedom of choice, freedom to act as they want, freedom to
make their own decisions ...

How are they going to make that choice? There is no mechanisim by which they can
make such a choice.
You anti-freedom yanks took Iran from a developing democracy to a feudal
monarchy - now you blame the people of Iran for following those who promised
them freedom but lied, just like you are now doing in Iraq.

But you're not, you're developing another pro-US dictatorship which can only
serve the corrupt politicians who have jumped on your bandwagon. You're dooming
the people of Iraq to disaster, just like you do where-ever you interfere.

Good footage. I'm keeping it.

BTW, we can do the same from a Bradley or with a SAW from the ground. The
problem with most terrorists is they cannot shoot straight, and the ones
that can use inaccurate weapons. The Kalashnikov rifle is good for
putting out a lot of lead in an infantry assault, but it cannot match the
accuracy of even an M-4 past 100 meters.

Kalashnikov designed his rifles VERY WELL for what was needed by the Red
Army in the 1940's, but a common hunting rifle available at Wal-Mart is a
far better weapon for insurgents who want to live long enough to see their
insurgency succeed.

Maybe we should have bugged out of Vietnamese
affairs and let them choose their own leaders a
long time ago.

"President Eisenhower's Memoires, Mandate for Change, page
372, shows that he believed Ho Chi Minh would have won any
free election in Vietnam in 1956. This is certainly why the
U.S. did not permit such an election, though the Geneva
Convention of 1954 required it."

It wasn't even the Nixon administration at that point. The US cease
fire and troop withdrawal occurred in 1973. Nixon resigned in 1974.
North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam in 1975.

It was during the brief Ford administration.

Well the people who are best qualified to make that call are the
majority of the Iraqi people and not some scraggly bearded socialist
vagrant from New Squealand who's badly in need of a flea dip. They
seem to think they are better off and have sent at least one rep to
the UN to tell the rest of you how fucked up you were in refusing to
help the US forces there. Ten years from now Iraq is going to be the
crown jewel of the Middle East with the highest standard of living and
the best economy in the region much the same way that Japan and
Germany turned out after WW II. And of course shit countries like New
Squealand will have had nothing to do with it as usual. Complain all
you want shit heel but you and your ilk will never contribute anything
to world history other than your ineffective whining. You are the
ticks on the ass of progress and freedom. Now run along and make sure
your Prime Minister has her makeup on properly cause she has a lot of
Chinese cocks to suck.

Thank you for bringing up what I have already pointed out in the past.

What are the odds those camps would have

You have examples of this I assume... how silly of me, I forgot I am

I know..... you should have one of those international charities that
you claimed to have founded to get in Iraq and help those poor people
out.

It sure does. All the cowards in the UN community are now crawling

good deals in Iraq.

I'll try it one more time since you're mentally handicapped. These
people have never had freedom. They have existed in this land for
over ten thousand years and have never had freedom or liberty. The
ones who are fighting us right now want Shaira law. Do you understand
what that means you fool?

That captured your anger.
Didn't England and France

And somehow it became our problem?
But then again I guess their problems
have always become a problem for us.
Be it 230 years ago WW1&2 or now.

That's closer than you think. In the early 90's I flew into Auckland and before
they would let us off the plane, they aerosol sprayed the passengers and crew
with something that smelled like sheep dip. I understand they no longer do this,
but won't be going back to see.

The supplies and materials would have been more effective if you hadn't also been

It seems to me that President Nixon deliverd on his promise to end our
involvement in Viet Nam, and he did so in a manner which gave the South Viet
Namese their best chance to fend off North Viet Nam. Now, answer my
question, why do you take President Nixon to task for not ending the war as
soon as he was sworn in, and not take President Johnson to task for his
escalation of ther war?

Greg:

I am not an idiot. I didn't pretend to be an idiot. I am not mistakable
for one.

I have not forgotten freedom because I have it. I live it. Every day. All
day long. Not only that... I live in a country that aspires to provide it
for all others on this earth.

How OLD am I?? What does that have to do with it? Are you seriously
suggesting that I date all the way back to our Revolution in 1776 and
earlier? If you must know, I'm 47. I'm sure you will make something silly
out of that.

I've forgotten WHAT country that gained me my freedom? Can you be more
precise? I haven't forgotten the United States of America, if that's what
you mean. My allegiance is to them and only them.

Steps toward freedom (our fight) is what freedom is composed of. Freedom is
a treasure to be struggled for, to be won and protected thereafter. It
should also be shared with others - From a position of strength... Not as a
result of threats to our well-being.

How long was it before the US let Japan or Germany take the reins of their
own countries? Iraq has much more ground to cover and, by all accounts, it
will gain control much sooner than either of those. It will be their job to
struggle, win and protect their freedom from that point. All we want is to
impart the momentum to get them there successfully.

The mechanisms are being decided and put in place as we write. Iraq has
representatives who are designing the new Iraq, with US help and oversight.

Yeah, another pro-US dictatorship. Just like Japan, Korea, Germany, France,
Italy, UK...... Need more?

Supporting Hussein was an expedient thing to do. In retrospect, I think we
should not have, or at least, not so long. I confess that I was not
politically active enough in 1979 (Iran Hostage Crisis) or before. I
graduated from high school in 1974 and was attending my studies in college
at the time. This was done during the Carter administration and this
president has been pretty well discredited since then.

One thing is for sure. Iran is still a problem. Nothing like an Islamist,
fundamentalist, radical theocracy with nuclear weapons to ruin your whole
day. The world is a dangerous place. We won't shrink from protecting
ourselves or our interests.

You have a lot of hate and/or mistrust to work through. Good luck with it.

The "UN rep" is a US occupation force stoolie.

Dream on - in ten years the US occupation forces will be occupying the desert
either side of the oil pipeline, desperately trying to keep the flow of stolen oil
going. The Iraqi people will still be waiting for a proper sewerage system, water,
electricity, rubbish collection, jobs, hospitals, schools and law and order.

The news media regularly supplies us with examples - even CNN turns up a few.
8 Iraqi's killed a few days ago and 15 seriously injured, because they dared to
complain about the 50% unemployment rate.

So that makes it OK for you to continue to stop them having freedom and to stop them moving
towards freedom as you yanks have done for the last 25 years?

Sure - you think you have the right to deny the majority their freedom because a tiny number of
citizens don't particularly like you.

The lesser of two evils is still evil. Sometimes you have to
make compromises you'd rather not. Me for instance I'd have
cratered both sides and skipped off laughing.

Ahem. We DID bomb the invasion from
the north. Repeatedly. For all the good
it did. Any other failed tactics you wish

Yeah Greg but they were also throwing stones at armed British soldiers.
Could just as well have been grenades. These guys play for keeps. It's

I am sorry for losses but they need to be patient.

Certainly, France gained you your freedom from the tyranny of England, just like
the USa won WWI and WWII. :-P

That's a good story!
Iraq never attacked the USa. Iraq, with the US's backing attacked Iran, a nation
that the USa stripped of it's freedom by action and subterfuge.

You're putting a pro-US dictatorship in place, one that can only operate through

Those are all individual nations - "Iraq" is not and cannot be without

You made them a fundamentalist, radical theocracy - what nuclear weapons? and
why do you think the rest of us trust you with them any more that we should
trust Iran? You've caused the problem and you kept us in the cold war for over
forty years.

Perhaps I am reading to much into your posts, but in this forum it seems
that Nixon is castigated on a fairly regular basis because he did not just
walk away form the war. What I seldom see is any of the "left" criticizing
Johnson for his role in the Viet Nam War. If I have wrongly assumed you were
doing this, I apologize.

Sounds like a winner to me. We supported a monster named Stalin over a
monster named Hitler in WWII. And we supported our old enemy, England in WWI
and WWII.

Which is exactly what the other side would like to do to us while we

Well, if they are resident in the layer of fused silica coating
the inside of a very big crater thats not going to matter now
is it?

And what, exactly is there to argue about. Abunch of medieval
thugs declared war on western society, we replied in no uncertain
fashion. We haven't got them all but they are running out of places
to hide.
