UK: Now the SAS has to train Libyan troops

The SAS is training Libyan troops, it emerged last night.

The elite special forces unit has been passing on its combat expertise to Colonel Gaddafi’s soldiers for the last six months… Senior Army officers have called it ‘morally wrong’ that they have to train troops in a country which once armed the terrorists they were fighting.

A Special Air Service source told The Daily Telegraph: ‘A small SAS training team have been doing it for the last six months as part of this cosy deal with the Libyans.

‘From our perspective

we cannot see it as part of anything else other than the Megrahi deal

.’

Another soldier added: ‘The IRA was our greatest adversary, now we are training their backers. There was a weary rolling of the eyes when we were told about this.‘

/EUrabia slouches toward dhimmitude

The truest continuing tragedy of 9/11: the near-total disinformation~ from academia, the media, politicians, the arts and entertainment community and religious leaders~ about this intolerant ideology.

Along with “Let’s roll!” we need to add “Let’s read!” (the Koran and Hadiths).

and I won’t watch …

Oliver Stone is a @#$%& and I would not spend a dime on him.

In an odd way, and I hope not to be misunderstood, Flight 93 and the heroism shown by ordinary Americans on that day eight years ago, was and is the bright spot coming out of the whole nightmare.

To me, it was — and remains still — a perfect metaphor for the American Spirit.

100% agreement, TX. A shame that American Spirit has waned under Democrap leadership.

It is difficult to watch the documentaries and movies about 9/11, as the wounds re-open. Documentaries because we lived through the events via television (most of us), and the movies because of their intimacy to how it most likely went down.

As for the one poster who didn’t know if “Let’s Roll” was authentic … according the man’s wife — who heard it over the cell phone call he made to her — it was. The uncommon citizens of U-93 may have been completely silent for all I care, for their actions vs. their terrorist, radical Islamic murders is enough to fill volumes.

Untrained, probably weaponless, facing certain death, they fought back and made a difference.

What American can think of 9/11 and not be proud of such heroes as these, and those at the towers and Pentagon? Truly humbling stuff.

If they can do that, I sure as hell can do my little bit and fight the rising tide of socialism brought on by the current leadership in Washington.

As for Oliver Stone, that pic of him waving to the camera beside clown-boy dictator Chavez is all you need to know. I watch any of his propoganda from now on, except for Platoon, where I think he had enough first-hand experience to tell the truth. Why he Left off there, I have no idea.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City firefighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward – just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center.

It is one of the most powerful, terrifying, moving, agonizing, heart-breaking, awe-inspiring things that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

Kirin, thanks for the tip.

Can you believe that I never saw that footage until this morning on FOX news? My wife couldn’t believe that I had never seen it.

I’m going to have to rent “9/11″ by Jules and Gedeon Naudet.

While I was far away from the actual events that day the haunting images of innocent people leaping to their deaths and the outrageous and brutal slaughter of 3,000 of my fellow innocent Americans has never faded.

Eight years later those images are still forever seared into my very soul and the anger and rage that I feel inside has not abated and will not abate until the scourge that is fanatical Islam is wiped from this earth, then and only then will my thirst for justice be quenched, then and only then will my soul be able to heal…

God bless all those innocent people taken from us 8 years ago, God bless their family and friends that still mourn their loss, and God bless America, land of the free and home of the brave!

I found a list of sellers for The Path;

I’d love to get a copy of “Path to 9/11″, myself.

Bill Clinton does not want it released on DVD. Disney is happily going along with him. After all, they caved to him and edited it before it aired.

Remembering United 93.
For those of you who haven’t already, ‘United 93′ is one of the most pow ……

A good video, if you can get your hands on it, was the one done by the two french film makers who were following a NYFD rookie. One of the brothers was filming inside the WTC when the first tower went down. I think it played on CBS.

It is titled “9/11″ and is by Jules and Gedeon Naudet and firefighter James Hanlon. It was originally broadcast on CBS in March of 2002 but was released on DVD later that year as “9/11 – The Filmakers’ Commemerative DVD Edition.”

On the back of the DVD it says…

On the morning of September 11, 2001, brothers Jules and Gedeon Naudet were working on a documentary about a rookie New York City firefighter. Hearing a roar in the sky, Jules turned his camera upward – just in time to film the only existing image of the first plane crashing into the World Trade Center. In a fateful instant, Jules and Gedeon became eyewitnesses to the most shocking and defining moment of our time. With camera rolling, the Naudets followed NYC firefighters into the heart of what would be known as Ground Zero. What emerged is an unforgettably powerful visual document and a stirring tribute to real-life heroes who, in their city’s darkest hour, rose to extraordinary acts of courage and compassion.

It is one of the most powerful, terrifying, moving, agonizing, heart-breaking, awe-inspiring things that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

As I said… IMHO. I can’t STAND Stone. But this was probably one film that wasn’t a complete blunder of liberal ideals by the jerk.

I thought his 9/11 movie was corny and horribly miscast. It does have a couple scenes that may take your breath away because of the sfx. Flight 93, that someone mentioned upthread–that one’s a real emotional ride. Lower budget, very realistic and amazing acting. All these people are on my mind today, movies aside.

We won’t forget.
