I would like to see a video that takes footage from the movie "Independence Day" and combines it with footage of the Saddam statue in Baghdad - to show the spaceship shooting the huge laser blast down and blowing the Saddam statue to bits.

If anyone here has the software and skills to do this (and I know you do) - feel free to do it - and post a link.

Can we get some action on this?

You video experts are losing the moment of opportunity. After the war is over the clip won't be as buzzworthy.

Sorry,

I don't have the ID4 clip. My PC is too old to have anything.

Someone must have it...

Hmmm... It would also be nice to see a version with a clip from Star Wars - where the Death Star fires it's lasers on Alderan.

yeah, that blast in ID4 was pretty amazing. Maybe you could put the face of the Information Minister on it just before it blows up.

Information Minister: "This is NOT a statue of Saddam! it is a statue of George W. Bush in America! the American people are starting a revolution and will soon be here to help us rid Iraq of the US soldiers and their pig-dog leaders with the help of the superior Iraqi Air Force." :)

....Still waiting for someone to do this....

All you really need is a jpg of the spaceship and a jpg of the statue.... then just animate the laser beam coming down and through in any old generic explosion clip at the end.

The statue being pulled down was staged by the Bush team and involved some two dozen or so Iraqis while hundreds to thousands of others stood in the distance unable to do anything about the symbol of their beloved leader being pulled to the ground because of American troops that stood guard around the ceremony. And then we get posed shots of Iraqis kissing American soldiers after being freed from the oppression of Saddam. And the only reason there has not been news of WMD found is simply because there are too many people watching and we can't get away with hiding some and then finding them. Of course the WMD case has been dismissed and now a simple regime change was enough to justify the war. And the oil is now flowing again and we're in control of it. If we were interested in freeing people from oppressive regimes we would be doing something about North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Libya, and several African countries that have slaughtered thousands of their own people. North Korea may represent the greatest danger to world peace at the
moment, but we're not likely to do anything about it. The reason why not as some would suggest is because they might retaliate against Japan or South Korea. The real reason is because they don't have anything we want - no oil, no natural resources worth having, etc.
So right now the biggest threat to world peace and possibly the future existence of life on this planet is George W. Bush. So when you make your video of the statue coming down is it going to include pictures of the innocent women, children, and elderly being killed for G.W's GD Glory?

Well, I apologize for the insult, but when you say

the biggest threat to world peace and possibly the future existence of life on this planet is George W. Bush.

and

The statue being pulled down was staged by the Bush team and involved some two dozen or so Iraqis while hundreds to thousands of others stood in the distance unable to do anything about the symbol of their beloved leader being pulled to the ground

your credibility suffers.

Then don't spew that drivel in a thread that isn't talking about the merits, actions, policies of the war then.

I swear some people just like to cause trouble

I thought I had correctly summed up the merits of this so called war. We got the oil. If Bush actually used his own brain instead of being manipulated by strings his head would explode like those in the movie scanners. You could use the same software as that for showing the statue blowing up. I don't know why anyone called it a war anyway. A war usually means having an opponent. I guess we didn't sell them enough weapons years ago for them to be able to put up much of a fight. Ok so we freed the Iraqi people from a terrible person that was their dictator. They will be much better off now under the dictatorial rule of G.W.

Again this isn't a thread about the merits of the war. Unless you have the software, video clip, and time to do some editing - Don't bother to post in here.

Sorry - I have nothing to contribute to this thread except to chase out a troll.
