i just watched it... grasping the b/f hand while it started, until he had no circulation in it....

after watching it, it is not as gruesome as i feared it was gonna be. It was horrible, dont get me wrong, but I must have been desensitized by all the gore movies I watched as a teenager. I suppose knowing that this is real makes it worse.

I will say, however, that I have ZERO sympathy for the chicken azz terrorists. If we made the huge parts of that country a parking lot, it would not bother me one bit. I mean they are all gungho and tough, but too chicken azz to take their masks off?

:(
 

just watched it
i didn't think it was that bad as far as gruesomeness goes.....but still, it's a video of an innocent man being brutaly murdered as a spectacle

Just watching it, knowing that this guy is going to die in less than 5 minutes. He is sitting there, and he didn't even seem to know...

Then the screaming...:(

I'm going to cry...

according to the yahoo website, there was quite a lapse in time from when the last words of teh speech were said and the action happened. like 11 hours yahoo said, so the tape was defiantely edited to what everyone is seeing now.

i haven't seen the vid yet.

yep, the time stamp jumps from 2:44 to 13:45

horrible how they sawed at his head like a piece of meat... I was expecting a quick beheading, like guillotine style. This is just so much worse to watch....so gruesome.

Curiosity makes me want to watch it in the way you look at car accident on the highway but...
I don't mean to sound like an ass but you shouldn't watch it.

That makes his murderers all the more famous which they want (tape to be spread). And simultaneous it also makes his death more ... I don't know...worthless... kind of like when 9/11 tapes were shown all day long and it began to mean nothing to people. Don't become desensitized by this crap.

I saw the Russian one a long time ago and sadly too many people are inept to feeling anything while watching. I regret watching it. I don't know why I'm ranting I'm not even an American. I just think by linking to it or watching it you fuel them (their whole goal being to strike terror into Americans for coming to Iraq or whatever their polluted minds think).

These people can't be reasoned with. What sort of crazy fvck hacks a mans head off while he screams (I heard he screams like nuts by this thread and according to CNN). Just shoot him and get it over with. You can't tell them that though. They say they did this for the humiliation of Iraqi prisoners :roll: as that senator said, the prisoners aren't in jail for violating traffic laws... kill everyone in the prisons now (line them up and shoot them humainly) and shove pieces of pork in their orifices and drop those pictures in pamphlets on the remaining hold out cities.

I don't know why the US tries. You can bet the kids they are liberating are going to come back when they grow up and make their own jihad because some marine shot their dad for blasting an AK at them. There is nothing worthwhile there to even liberate.

The spine isn't solid bone, it's made up of vertebra (bone) and disc (tissue).

Elementary level human anatomy. Cartilage between bones.

In case you didn't see it well enough with his head bent all the way back while they were cutting on the back of his neck while holding onto his hair getting ready to hold his head up as evidence....

I've just saw it about 30 minutes ago..........its like 4 minutes that make you want to sleep (unless you are fluent in Arabic), then all of sudden shouting and dismemberment. Although the quality is very poor, its obvious what is going on. VERY OMFG-able; made me sick to my stomach :(

I kinda want to watch it out of curiosity as did many of you. If anyone has it or a working link, would you mind PMing me? Thanks a lot.

You see, that's the problem. Go out and nuke a country, getting 1000 terrorists and 10 000 000 innocent civilians is no answer. Not only do you kill 10 million people, but you create 10 million more terrorists.

sad. :(

I watched it. Definitley makes me want to go over there with a BAR for the counter-counter rebuttal. Poor guy. Makes you wonder how the cycle of violence will ever stop. They want nothing more than all Americans dead... but if we wished the same on their race, we wouldnt be having this discussion... it would be a done deal. At least we have some sense of morals...

So, what then... ?
Reason, bargaining...?

I must respectfully disagree with you... There is only one language these fvcking animals understand. It is not reasoning, or bargaining or anything else that makes sense to people with a soul.
We must agree to disagree here.

I found it interesting how didn't even appear to beg for his life. The guy seemed reserved to the fact that he was about to die, or he was drugged perhaps? Or, they really did spring it on him.

And I agree with KarenMarie here.

Naked Iraqi POW's vs. Beheading of U.S. citizens

There's no contest here.

Nuclear bomb vs. Suicide bombers

No contest there either.

(I won't say anymore on this particular matter, but yes, this really ticked me off. Maybe if more people, regular citizens, saw this the U.S. would be willing to take the kid gloves off and stop trying to please everybody and take care of some business.)

I saw the russian soldier long time ago and couldnt get that out of my mind (didnt know what it was, filename was changed).

I sure as hell don't want to watch this one.

It seemed to me that he really didn't know it was coming. I doubt he was drugged by all the screaming going on...:(

this sucks...:(

It's really not as bad as I thought it would be.. I mean it's surely very disturbing, but.... it could be worse.

I watched it just now out of respect for the family. They have lost a person that they loved, and I refuse to turn a blind eye on it. If it means seeing something like this, and losing a little sleep, then so be it. They are going through far worse.
