They would use an Osprey for this now.

Yup they would. And it would crash just as hard.


I doubt that. The USMC has had an Osprey squadron operating in Iraq for 4 years now.

Two other interesting videos are from the RADES radar data.

Just amazing that we had C130 and somehow not a single fighter plane to engage. Just listen to the NEADS audio overlayed with the radar data. It is fascinating that no one could do anything about the plane. Plus they thought there was a plane six miles EAST of the capitol.

Finally, watch this which is clips from the above video.. but it clearly appear doctored videos or different recording frame rates. But there is so much doctored data relating to pentagon.

You know what this reminds me of?

one level in CoD4, where your a gunner on a C130, taking down Russians, where your crew whoops and hollers every time you get a hit, except this time its real.

War has become a spectator sport in sense, people can become far enough removed from it, that it is just like playing space invaders, and that is what I find truly frightening.

In addition, I cannot up/downvote this in clear conscience, since I watched to about the 1min mark and then felt horribly sick.

Clinton successfully kept Saddam in check by enforcing the no-fly zone. Cheap, easy, kept his aggression in check and didn't involve the US any more than necessary in the politics on the Middle East. Read the book by Brent Scowcroft, national security adviser to George H.W. Bush. Here's what he said before Gulf War II in that notorious liberal rag, the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal:

The "reports" that Bush had access to was the raw, unverified intelligence - and what his administration did with it is proof exactly why competent Presidents trust Intelligence professionals to vet it. The Bush team cherry-picked what they wanted to get what they wanted - a long pointless (but very profitable for Halliburton) war and literal C130 cargo planes full of cash being shipped to the control of underlings chosen not for competence but for loyalty.

Please - try to do a tiny bit of moral algebra here, OK? What is Bill Clinton had done exactly the same things?

i admit, i've never seen the props of the c130 not moving. they look like turbine blades almost.
