Hmmmm, not sure I get it. Are they saying that is some future tech thing and therefore the war has continued on far into the future??

Re: Move On Walker
It's saying the war the U.S. is waging in Iraq is a major source of the death and fear the people live in the midst of. If you care to remember way back when, say oh, about six or seven years ago when that prick Hussein was in power that part of the world was a whole lot more stable, well as stable as the middle east can get anyway. The people may of had a tyrant oppressing them but compaired to today the violence was relativily low, again well as low as it gets in the middle east. Fast forward to post 9-11 and then America goes to invade Iraq, we're invading Iraq now. Invade Iraq get the prick out of power bring peace and our version democracy to the land, YES!....
Oops, that didn't work out the way we had hoped. Hmmm, well one out of three isn't bad, is it? Now we have a really war torn country with Sunnis killing Shi'as and Shi'as killing Sunnis and in the middle of the fight killing everyone is the Americans with their war machines (about all Sunnis and Shi'as have are AKs RPGs and some IEDs). And now that whole region of the world is horribly destablized.
Sunnis hate Shi'as because Shi'as kill their Sunni bretherian, Shi'as hate Sunnis because Sunnis kill their Shi'a bretherian, and because Americans kill anyone who even looks like they know some one with a gun gets killed, everyone hates Americans. (which is why they throw rocks at our war machines).
Oh and lets not forget that if a soilder feels their life is threatend they can kill that person, rocks can kill, people do get stoned to death, so if a soilder in that tank so chose they could eaisly kill everyone who had a rock in their hand and get off scott free and hell maybe even get praised for his bravery. Now that soilder would be a real douch but douches are a fact of life.
Now don't get me wrong I care about the troops over there, I have two cousins in the Army, and two highschool buddies being shipped over soon, but I want the people I care about to come home alive. And the situation in Iraq is awful but we only seem to be making things worse.
This has just been my little rant. If you agree with my views or not I don't really care, and you don't have to listen to me if you don't want to. This has just been my two cents.

Re: Move On Walker
I see this as a possible result of spending all the budget into military R&D like G.W.Bush did. American people aren't going anywhere with a government producing or developing deadlier weapons. And the US aren't the only ones.

Re: Move On Walker
The point is that Bush's rhetoric is only that. He is a broken record emitting words with no meaning. If he really cared about curbing violence in the middle east he would curb it. Instead what is sadly more likely to happen is that the rhetoric will continue indefinitely for years and years until the technology to build Mechwarriors exists. The video is a warning saying that this is where our government is taking our future.

Ok yeah, you read into this better than I did, mine went into a history lesson of the Iraq war while you got right to the point. Thank you.
