why am i watching on tv the arrest of two iraqi's at a checkpoint

they are being treated fairly roughly too :(

have they forgot about what they were saying about the geneva convention and showing pow's on tv
 
There was never an official decleration of war, hence the Geneva Convention is out the window.

Either way, it still sucks for both sides to do that.

Hang on. So the American administration screams about the Geneva Convention when their own are paraded on the TV but now that it's Iraqis we're to believe that the convention doesn't apply.

Somebody's wrong.

But I agree, it sucks.

i dont think that matters ... if that was the easy way to get around the geneva convention then people would just never declare war

and the iraqi guy was being interrogated pushed around and told to shut up

you should see it being shown on tv later i guess

that is not exactly what I said. While I am not watching the program sexy-girl is (the 4 yr old in his commando underoos overthrew the oppressive daddy regime of sportscenter and put on Nick Jr.) a snippet of them being put into a truck, as Hanns said, is not really a violation. To be paraded is one in wartime.

For the record though, I thought it was really goofy of the American government to get all pissy when our POW's were paraded. Once again, in legal terms, this is not a war. Yeah yeah yeah, I know, if it walks like a duck...but still in legalize speak.

Yep. We can't have it both ways. If we're going to cry foul, we'd best keep our knickers clean.

You should know!:D

The four year old has sense.......................... and power!!!
 
They aren't POW's technically yet when they first surrender and are being processed. As to being 'rough', I haven't seen any being beaten, degraded, identified or paraded on TV. But your POV is already set so whay even bother soliciting opinions you have no intentions of considering ??? You should be more percise with the thread title.

off subject for just a moment, yes there has been an official decleration of war on my two boys by me. It was voted into being last night after I returned home from work and found 85 dollars of grass seed with fuckin bubbles poured in it.

Dammit this means I cannot parade their grounded asses on tv, yah?

hijack over.....
 
Commando underoos? Do they make such things? lol That's a priceless picture.

I'll pass Lance. I'd rather not see either sides dead.

lol thank you sigh


what actually happened was two iraqi's were being arrested at a checkpoint because they were linked with the death of two british soldiers (the ones tony blair said was executed but then he had to back track)

they showed everything from them being pushed onto the floor being questioned and the head gear they wear being pushed off and then pushed off again when he tried to put it back on again

you could even hear him being talked too
 
Yup the bridge is still there... hate it, both by land and sea.... but they just gave it a makeover.

Thanks Lance

I was wondering where I could get a few decent pics of dead arabs as my wallpaper.

Cheers

Well there's a big two paqer with a colmn of M-1's driving down the road with a dead Iraqi sprawled out in the foreground, face to the camera that'll look great enlarged as a mural, particularly if your decor is in sand and brown tones with dark red accents.
