Dismantling the bases would have been superb.

What will you do next time?

I am not happy about these acts being done in "my" name, but I don't believe they are in my name. I wasn't even old enough to vote when Labour came to power.

I don't know - what will you do?

And what a corker of a movie it is Clandestine. I would recommend it to anyone who takes the slightest bit of interest in global/local politics.

An eye opener to say the least...it really is a beauty

I wouldnt use the term "beauty" to describe its subject matter however. I would describe it as necessarily shocking and revelatory.

Indeed. I'm actually quite impressed by the quality and quantity of film making that seems to be eminating from the progressive community these days. Well impressed me

Afraid to say that 1. Our supposed "precision" bombing isnt all that precise (especially when hurling thousands into densely populated cities like Baghdad), and 2. When following up with apache launched missiles into equally densely packed residential neighbourhoods, the result is countless (then again the Pentagon doesnt give a rats ass about accurate civilian death counts) civilian losses.

As for what our soldiers are doing, you can bet in that atmosphere, with young wide eyed and essentially disenfranchised youth from back home looking for an outlet for pent up aggression, our soldiers are indeed firing at anything that says boo too loudly (when theyre not kicking in the doors of civilian homes and dragging people out in the middle of the night).

These figures are likely underinflated, not overinflated.

Neocon-led empire building at its finest!
