Warning: this video shows something horrible. I can't believe I just saw it. It shows a lone American survivor of that helicopter crash yesterday being helped off the ground...and then executed. (click on "Video II")

http://www.informationclearinghouse.inf ... le8613.htm

It doesn't look fake, either.

I'm feeling horrible, like the End really is near.

[editing addition:"The man who was shot to death in a grassy field spoke English with an accent and was wearing a blue flight suit, indicating he was one of the three Bulgarian crew members. Two Fijian helicopter security guards were also on board the flight." My mistake.]

[AirlinePilot]

If you read the stuff below on the page it says it is believed to have been one of the Bulgarian Crewmembers. It's possible it was an American but I doubt it. It was a Mi 8 helicopter which is a Russian design used by the Bulgarians.

It's still an atrocity any way you look at it. Talk about Barbarians. I would not even call them humans, they are animals.

Man's inhumanity to Man ceases to amaze me. We have little hope for a future in a PO world when things like this go on every day.

[Lycan359]

Yeah, kind of like how that American soldier shot that unarmed and injured Iraqi guy in that mosque which was also caught on tape.

I heard this was revenge for that.

[entropyfails]

You haven't seen any intafada videos before?

Yeah, these things have not been faked. Various groups regularly film their exploits and post them on the net to rally up US opposition. In the ones that have sound you will hear a lot of “Allah ackbar” (Allah is great) while they murder and kill troops and civilians alike.

Total war sucks.

I think the saddest thing was that the violence didn't shock me.

Shows how desensitised I've become to violence through movies.

[AirlinePilot]

I'm embarrassed to say the same thing stu, I wasn't really that shocked. We are all becoming desensitized to this type of thing. Very sad if you ask me.

[Lycan359]

I'm I the only one who didn't watch the video?

I too could be desensitized but I certainly don't want to see it regardless.

[0mar]

War is war. If you don't want to get shot, then don't start one.

[bobeau]

Umm, doesn't anyone remember the plethora of videos from last year with folks getting their heads hacked off slowly?

Why is this surprising? Even an eensie-weensie tiny bit?

Bueller... Bueller?

"Allahu Akbar"

...indeed.

The (mostly) American economic boycott of Iraq from 1991 to 2003 resulted in hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi's and few Americans batted an eye.

One presumably American passenger on an occupation force (ok, it was a private company, but still part of the occupation) gets whacked and everyone gets all up in arms.

Where is the balance?? Aren't oil wars fun!!

Exactly. But if the russians attempt to nuke us, we will retaliate, and it will be MAD, but this time put to the test.

Wah, everyone sound like Taliban of the West after looking at the video except Omar and Eastbay. Actually shits do happens in war. You don't expect them to welcome the invader with kisses and hugs, do you ? Since they machinegunned down tonnes of local meat earlier.

Someone must learnt something from Mr. Joseph Stalin. "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." So millions Iraqi deaths are nothing compare to the death of 1 people which is aired on TV, video, BitTorrent or CNN. A true tragedy indeed for the mankind.
