Shock & Awe baby! Shock and fucking AWE!!!!

[Lord Wortherington]

Check out this reviewers opinion of National Geographic's "Shock & Awe" DVD on Amazon. displays pretty well what is wrong with this country:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007N19C8/ref=wl_it_dp/103-6777119-6695042?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2FBH5R1O47YZX&colid=2XPIFOR5PA1V6

The other reviewer clearly has not watched the DVD. Probably one of those Know-Nothing,Pro-: Rape-Room/Beheading/Stoning2Death/Limb-Severing/MassGrave-Filling/Kurd-Gassing/UN-Corrupting Saddam Hussein Regime, Anti-American, Anti-U.S. Military activists, who would prefer that you think of them as "peace" or "anti-war" activists. What the "Shock and Awe" DVD shows us is the amazing and humbling power and precision of America's armed forces. The Republican Palace is hit time and time again, pounded over and over again in stunning displays of American firepower. Yet once all is said and done, it is clear that the bombings were so accurate, so precise, that the building was absolutely gutted inside, but from the outside, it simply looks like they had a fire; just a bit of blackened stone by the windows. Nothing outside is disturbed to any degree. A rabid chipmunk would have been far more dangerous to innocent Iraqi civilians than American bombers.

Not only are the bombs themselves, the delivery systems, and the war planning involved all designed to MINIMIZE innocent civlilian casualties, but in fact, according to the best information available to the United States of America, the entire war from 2003 to this moment has only cost approximately 30,000 TOTAL IRAQI CASUALTIES. This includes many groups of human casualties, from regular ba'athist army units, Republican Guart units, insurgents, and domestic Iraqi terrorists to innocent civilians. Considering how amazingly precise and efficient the U.S. Military is, the vast majority of those deaths and injuries consist of those who were fighting against the amazing American Military machine. Ten to twenty thousand Saddam-era Iraqi troops were killed in the initial combat stages. Several thousand have been killed fighting against American and new Iraqi forces, and I would imagine the vast majority of innocent civilians were put in harm's way purposely by pro-Saddam Ba'athist insurgents, terrorists, and religious militias. Very few innocent civilians have actually been killed by American forces.

The display of firepower contained herein is second to none. If you ever wished you had some of the amazing footage from the Shock and Awe, along with a lengthy discussion about the planning and the campaign in general, with many interviews and an obviously large amount of research, then this DVD is for you. Enjoy!

4. "30,000 TOTAL IRAQI CASUALTIES"....Try upwards of 1 million...

Don't know whether to laugh or cry....

7. What's become of National Geographic?

The last few years has seen some serious slipping of their standards.

12. They've been calling themselves "NAT GEO" for a while.

I guess the seven syllable "National Geographic" is too tough for the viewers that they are trying to attract.

13. When did RM get NG?

14. You are one sick puppy Lord What ever....

I think you may have taken a wrong turn on the
"Internets" highway.

Why on earth would you think ANY thing person on DU
would be interested in such a DVD?

And before you "go..."
How do you actually justify the killing of ANY civilians
in an illegal pre emptive attack, war and occupation
by the US military on Iraq?

15. Firstly, who are you?

Secondly, you aren't that bright, I didn't make that post on amazon.

[BeHereNow]

16. Let's just say I read some of your other posts on another thread.

"Commie bastards?

[Lord Wortherington]

17. Oh joy!!! An actual internet stalker!

I've heard about people like you.

[BeHereNow]

18. That's a pretty strong accusation- perhaps you want to read the DU rules?

In the meantime, welcome to DU.
Think before you post and we'll get along fine.

20. make a contribution, buy yourself a star

then you too, can do your 'due diligence'when you see a whacko post and are at a loss on how to respond. Those were lies aboout the civilian casualties, and many, many bombs were not so smart either. Now I learn NatGeo is murdoch's, it figures. Next up ? "look at the jugs on those natives".Or perhaps a sex story on Iraqi women forced into prostitution as displaced persons (of which there are now millions)

enjoy your stay
