I truly hope it does turn out well.

For the sake of the Iraqi people.
For the sake of the good young men and women who died.
For the sake of the United States.
For the sake of the Middle East.
For the sake of the World.

I truly do, with no sarcasm implied or intended.

The point of the video was to show how we honor our fallen soldiers first and foremost.

the point of the thread was to bash fox news for a 3am comedy/satire spoof....as though fox news was running some "news" report bashing Canada...


however, I think that Canada's method of honoring its fallen Hero's is flat out awesome. AND I am one American who recognizes the huge sacrifice Canada has made in Afghanistan.

I think it is terrible that these brave warriors are being used to bash a news outlet that is villified by certain people in both the US and Canada.

Canada is right to be proud of its military and its heros. I know I am proud of these Canadians. But I think Candians got used by political operatives to gen up anger over something that was nothing more than an idiot comment by a comedian.

and IMHO that was a very silly thing to do. As has been pointed out, the offense was over a year ago.

And now fox haters are using dead hero’s to scoreboard on Fox news. THAT is sad.

Yes it was over a year ago but I became aware of it only yesterday, I searched for a thread
on the topic and couldn't find one hence my thread.

This is true. But Greg has appeared on the Fox Morning News
Show, while promoting his book and has commented on
political issues there, as if Greg Should have some credibility.
NOT FOX is a blur, with propaganda, humor and a dollop of REAL news

I do appreciate the video for the hero honoring aspect.

Considering the "issue" was a more than a year old, I would have chosen to not be too offended.

Fixed News is little more than a PAC for the GOP/Conservatards of America.

They made this pretty well known with the $1,000,000 donation to the Repug Governors' Association last week.

On a side note, God Bless Canada, our more perfect neighbour to the north.
