ABC reports Americans are debating the Iraq video

[G_j]

really, I wonder how many people in the rest of the world are "debating" it.

1. The rest of the world is debating...

"If we all attacked at once, do you suppose we could take America? I mean, we've got to do something!"

6. America is suffering from collective insanity. nt

7. I wonder how many alliances are being made right now, behind closed doors

all over the world, against the U.S. Just like World War I.

2. That's an odd choice of words

WTF do they mean, "debating it"? Are they saying that Americans are questioning its authenticity or that we are questioning the policy implications of the video?

IMO there is nothing to "debate". We did it, we were wrong and we should fess up and change our behavior right fucking now.

3. they meant debating if the actions were appropriate

they then had a former general say it was justified, but he may not have pulled the trigger on the van if it was him.

:banghead:

4. Yeah, now I understand, but it really isn't his call, is it?

One day the rest of the world is going to get fed up with our bullshit, gang up on us and kick our ass into next year.

5. Probably not.

It would be the end of the world.

8. It's an intentional, strategic, carefully worded way of de-fanging the obvious (damage control)
