THE FIRST DAYS IN IRAQ FROM A SOLDIER'S POINT OF VIEW (CASEY J. PORTER VIDEO)
This is a fantastic video which captures how our GIs feel on deployment to Iraq. Some of them are experiencing their second and third tours of Iraq and they explain what it is like to the "newbies." This video doesn't dance around the topic of deployment to Iraq and producer Casey J. Porter does a super job of capturing it all on film.

WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS BLACKWATER OVERPAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR WORK IN IRAQ
Audit Finds That U.S. Overpaid Blackwater
By YOCHI J. DREAZEN
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
http://tinyurl.com/n2taqo
WASHINGTON -- A government audit found that the State Department overpaid the contract-security firm once known as Blackwater Worldwide by tens of millions of dollars because the company failed to properly staff its teams in Iraq.
The report didn't identify any specific security breaches, but it said the State Department should have withheld at least $55 million in payments to the company because of the shortfalls.
The audit by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction and the State Department's Inspector General said the firm didn't employ enough guards, medics, marksmen and dog handlers to fully man the teams, which were responsible for protecting the U.S. ambassador to Iraq and other high-level officials.
The failure to consistently field the right numbers of guards endangered the U.S. officials whom the company was being paid to protect, the report concluded.
"We believe the full manning of protective details is important to the safety of the principal being protected, as well as to the members of the protective details," the audit noted. "Insufficient manning exposed the department to unnecessary risk."
The audit also found that Blackwater, which this year changed its name to Xe, sometimes overcharged for airfare to and from Iraq and failed to properly account for some equipment received from the U.S. government.

FIRE IN THE HOLE! U.S. MARINE "SAPPERS" TAKE OUT TALIBAN LAND MINES AND IEDS (GREAT ACTION VIDEO)
What is a "Sapper?" I was a "Sapper" in the United States Army Combat Engineers during the Korean War and we are the soldiers who many times move out in front of the infantry to take out enemy land mines, booby traps, and anything that could blow up causing injury or death to our troops. The "Sappers" have a motto: "Let Us Try." In this video you see a team of "Sappers" from the United States Marine Corps Combat Engineers doing what they are trained to do in Afghanistan. It is dangerous work, but somebody has to do it.

"COLLATERAL DAMAGE"---100 AFGHAN CIVILIANS KILLED BY U.S. AIR STRIKES (GRUESOME VIDEO)
The U.S. military calls it "collateral damage," but to the Afghanistan women, children and men on the ground it is a savage atrocity. More than 100 Afghan civilians were killed recently in an U.S. air strike on a small village in Afghanistan. The U.S. commanders say the Taliban hideout in homes occupied by civilians, but the Afghanistan people disagree with that determination. In any event, the United States military is NOT winning the "hearts and minds" of the Afghanistan people.

U.S. FORCES COMMIT GENOCIDE ON AFGHAN CIVILIANS (BRUTAL VIDEO)
The Afghan civilians claim they "hate" the Americans more than they "hated" the Russians when they invaded their country. In this video you see Afghan women and children casualties of U.S. air strikes on Afghan villages and cities. And what is the U.S. answer to all of these atrocities? We are going to send in more than 20,000 more U.S. troops into Afghanistan.
Why?
