Are US Marines Caught Urinating on Dead Taliban? – or Not? – Video

A video that just recently hit YouTube and the Internet purportedly shows four US Marines urinating on three dead Taliban in Afghanistan. The question is whether or not the video is real or a hoax. Watch the vid and see for yourself:

As of the writing of this post, there are about half a dozen postings of this video on YouTube including one supposedly from TMZ.com. Once these vids turn viral, which is very likely, YouTube will probably remove them from its site because of the inflammatory nature of the video. That is usually how YouTube operates, although Russia Today and TMZ.com do have more clout than the ordinary YouTube video poster and that may prevent the vids from being removed by YouTube management.

In any event, the real question is whether or not the vid is a hoax or real? My guess is it’s a hoax. After watching the video on a 42 inch TV screen, I was not able to see a urine stream coming from any of the four Marines. That suggests a hoax.

In addition, the Marine on the right appears to be toting around at least a 12 inch penis. And we all know there are not too many of those around. That too suggests hoax. It is possible that the Marine’s manhood is genuine, which may indicate his motivation is to broadcast the size of his johnson rather than to defile any Taliban.

The US Marine Corp. has announced that it will investigate the incident because this is not the image the Corp. wants for itself.

Cartels Add Tanks to Arsenal in Mexican Drug War

A Slideshow Gallery of tanks and submarines used by Mexican drug cartels

Mad Max has arrived big time in Mexico. In a style reminiscent of the Mad Max movies, Mexican drug cartels are now using homemade tanks in their arsenal in the Mexican drug wars just south of the US-Mexico border.

The vehicles, which carry the moniker, “narco tank” and “monstruos” or monster trucks, are customized cars, SUVs and dump trucks equipped with gun turrets, inch-thick armor plates, firing ports and bulletproof glass.

The Gulf and Zeta drug cartels employ the narco tanks in the drug war between the rival gangs and against the Mexican government’s military which has been trying to quash the viciously violent drug war—a war that has taken more than 35,000 lives in the last four years.

“Organized crime has increased its firepower to move personnel and mount counterattacks against the army,” said security adviser Alberto Islas in Mexico. “This is the consolidation of an urban guerrilla war scenario.”

Some of the assault tanks are equipped with battering rams, are reportedly able to top 60 mph and can spew ala James Bond tire-flattening nails or oil slicks designed to disable or slow down pursuing vehicles.

The monstruos are merely the latest tool used by the cartels. They have also employed homemade submarines, ultralight aircraft and highly adapted tunnels beneath the border to move their drugs into the US.

All of these tools are simply part of the arms and technology race between the cartels to provide an edge in the drug war between the cartels and the military.

 

Brad Pitt Declares War Against Paparazzi After Two Invade His French Estate

The Associated Press is reporting that camouflaged paparazzi trespassed onto the grounds of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s French Riviera Chateau and fought with guards when they were discovered.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are staying at this chateau situated on about 1,200 acres in the South of France.

French police took two photographers in camouflaged clothing and also two of Pitt and Jolie’s guards in for questioning in the incident. French police captain Olivia Poupot said both sides filed legal complaints against each other for battery and causing injuries.

According to the police, the injuries were bruises and scratches, but “nothing nasty.”

Tony Webb, who is the leader of the group that is guarding the Chateau in Southern France where Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their six children are currently living, said that two men were discovered on the grounds.

When his guards attempted to escort the trespassers off of the estate, the men went “berserk.”

“We caught the two” on Thursday afternoon “and tried to escort them off the property,” Webb said. One “guy’s just gone berserk, thrashing out, kicking and actually biting one of the security people, breaking his finger, drawing blood and screaming that he had Hepatitis C.”

The two paparazzi, freelance photographer Luc Goursolas and Marianne Saint-Arroman, claim that they were on public property in a neighboring forest. The paparazzi confirmed that they were wearing camouflaged clothing to avoid being detected. Said Saint-Arroman, “We weren’t going to wear a red sweater.”

Goursolas said he broke a bodyguard’s finger and bit another but said he did so in self defense. “I threw myself at them, put blood all over them and told them I had HIV so they would stop hitting me,” he said.

Only days ago, Brad Pitt’s lawyer announced that the couple would sue anyone who published recently taken photographs of their family. TheSmokingGun.com has reported that someone recently took unauthorized photos of the family and has already sold them.

Pitt and Jolie are reportedly willing to sue any publication that publishes the photos because they feel that it would violate the couple’s right to privacy.

The New York Daily News reported that Brad Pitt was furious after Thursday’s scuffle and told the paparazzi: “I’m fed up with my private property being violated. If you want war, you will get it.”

Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon by cesarean section on July 12th at the Lenval hospital in southern France. She left the hospital in Nice only last week, bringing the newborns home to the chateau.

News reports state that publications are offering from $15 – $20 million for photos of the babies, which is a powerful motivation for any papparazzo.

Webb said that the couple intend to take legal action against any photographer that intrudes into their private space. “The family are (sic) really fed up that these people are trespassing so we’re going to try to get restraining orders and use the law to do whatever we have to keep them off the property,” he said.

Other news reports are stating that Pitt and Jolie have already made a deal to sell the first photos of their twins to a US magazine for $11 million and they intend to donate the money to charity.

More Videos of Abuse by US Soldiers in Iraq

The David Mortari video showing a US Marine in Iraq callously throwing a puppy off of a cliff to its death has shone a bright light on the poor state of US public relations in the war zone of Iraq.

Below is a video of three separate incidents involving US soldiers in Iraq and their interactions with Iraqi civilians. In each incident, the way the US soldiers handled the situation was far from diplomatic.

Some Blogger and Youtube videos have been slow to start lately even on a high speed connection. Sometimes you muct click the start button twice. Please be patient; the video will begin eventually.

In the first incident in which a soldier shoots an Iraqi dog, the shooting was probably unnecessary, but an occupying army can do pretty much whatever it wants. Who is going to tell it otherwise? Certainly not the civilian who was the victim in the incident.

Perhaps soldiers have standing orders to shoot dogs because the fear is that the dog may be booby trapped with some type of bomb. That is a very strong possibility.

The IED (improvised explosive device) is the most feared weapon by US personnel in Iraq because Al Qaida has used it extensively with considerable creativity.

In the second incident in which the car is crushed, the US patrol of vehicles does not stop. This again is probably the result of fear of a suicide bomber.


But what if the tank had crushed the occupants of the car? Would it stop then?

Did you notice that the traffic seemed to automatically yield for the American vehicles? Give the Americans the right of way is probably the rule of law in Iraq.

In the third incident the US motivation is conclusive. At first it appears that the soldiers killed a few sheep for the fun of it (if you can call that fun). However, a military man informs us that the soldiers tossed a flash-bang rather than a real grenade. A flash-bang is a non-lethal explosive device designed to momentarily shock those around it.

Assuming that the soldiers tossed a flash-bang and not a real grenade, the incident is really more of a prank than anything else. However, the Iraqi sheperd will likely remember the incident with strong negative feelings. Wouldn’t you?

In every incident the Iraqis accepted the results without complaint, and that is probably because they feared that a complaint might elicit a more severe reprisal.

How do you think each incident will be remembered by the civilians involved? I know how I would feel. They will most likely hate the Americans, if they don’t already.

Soldiers like David Mortari are eliminating what little respect Americans have left in that part of the world, and they are replacing it with hatred.

Thatta boy, Mortari.

Tom Hanks on Acting and "Charlie Wilson’s War"

Actor Tom Hanks has been nominated for a Golden Globe award as best actor in a comedy or musical for his portrayal of US Congressman Charlie Wilson in Charlie Wilson’s War. Most of the reviews of the movie have indicated that Tom has managed to give another remarkable performance in the film, but Hanks has grown into such an incredible actor that most of us expect him always to nail the role right on the head.

His co-star, Julia Roberts, plays Joanne Herring, a Houston, Texas, socialite, talk show host and political activist in the film.

When asked how it was to work with Hanks, Roberts, who had never worked with Hanks prior to Charlie Wilson’s War, said, “He’s Mister nice guy, but he’s more than nice. He’s interesting and truthful and amazing.”

“He’s (an) incredibly honest person. So I think that, you know, transcends his work and his art in every way. So, in that way, you sort of really have to bring an authentic game (to your role).”

Hilary Angelo, when talking about a hot tub scene that she appeared in with Tom, said he “never made any sort of remark…never even looked at me below the neck. So I never felt uncomfortable. And in between takes we got to put our own clothes on.”

Jud Tylor, who was also in the same hot tub scene, said “I was wearing a little gold ‘80s bathing suit. Tom Hanks…needed to appear naked in this scene so he was wearing a nude sock. And it was actually the first day of shooting in the first scene.”

“It was a very surreal experience sitting next to Tom Hanks for him to wearing a nude sock and for me to be sure I never had to avert my eyes.”

The video is Tom Hanks explaining his role in Charlie Wilson’s War.

Redneck Sets Himself on Fire

The following video is of a redneck who actually sets himself on fire with the help of his so called “friends,” a word used loosely in this context.

When you are still at that immature age where you continue to make questionable decisions, it is probably a wise idea not to listen to your friends who are trying to convince you to set yourself on fire so they can video tape it.

If you get a phone call something like this, stop hanging out with this “friend:”

“Hello, Billy Bob? Yeah, this is Jimbo here. Say, Billy Bob! We’re gonna have a little barbeque tomorra night, so why don’t you come by wearing some heavy clothes and bring some barbeque starter fluid with ya.”

“Why? Wall, cuz’ we want to impress the girls by settin’ you onfar and then video tapin’ it.”

“What? Ahh, no! There’s no danger. We’ll take good care o you, Billy Bob. You know thet. Okay? See ya then.”

You should know that they use the “f” word a couple of times in this one, so you have been warned.

In the next video a couple of racing Porsches bite the dust, which is truly a waste of some fine vehicles.

Our final video shows yet another redneck who is a motorcycle enthusiast who lays waste to his bike through his own poor planning. How do these rednecks get by in a world where they make such huge blunders anyway?
