Night vision view of the war

My former co-blogger Col. Ollie has turned me onto LiveLeak.com. It is kind of like YouTube, only with much more combat video, as well as other videos YouTube deems innapropriate. As a blogger, the stuff posted over there is much more pertinent than the vast majority of the stuff at YouTube. Check it out if you get the chance.

As a sample, I offer up this little video. Here is the description that goes along with it:

This is a video taken from atop OP Hotel in Ramadi, Iraq. The building getting hit by the Hellfire was known as the AG Center. The insurgents used it as a OP to spot mortars hitting Corregidor and COP and also as a general pop-shot location. Our engineers finished the job in December with some few-hundred pounds of explosives.

And now to the video goodness.


Update
Although I said above that some of the material at this would be deemed innapropriate by YouTube, it appears that some people need an explicit warning, so here we go: SOME MATERIAL AT THIS SITE CAN BE DISTURBING OR NOT SAFE FOR WORK. And one more disclaimer: I DO NOT ENDORSE ALL OF THE VIDEO AT THIS SITE. Again, as I said above, I just think there is more relevant materials to political bloggers at that site than at YouTube. And one more thing. If you find it cute to post links to disturbing videos in the comments, your comment will be deleted. Thank you.
