i watched.. that is weird with the time cuts in the video and everything.

the points he talks about do bring up the big question of, if it is fake or not.

i wonder if that stuff will get on the news

Regardless if the video is a hoax or not. He is still dead and was decapitated. If they went thru the trouble of making a video of about something that already happened or was about to happen, they must be uber stoopid.

The US wouldn't inform the Berg family that he was dead and ship his reamains over for burial.

Oddly enough, this dissection of the video is being done by a website that seeks to get rid of Donald Rumsfeld. They are claiming it's a "false flag" video made to get people angry at arabs again and want to support the Iraq war effort.

Even though I wouldn't mind seeing Rumsfeld gone myself, I can't ignore the fact that all this website has really done is point out flaws and then say, "because of all these flaws the video is faked." That's not a very strong way to make an argument. There is no deductive logic which moves from premises to conclusion, it's just throwing a bunch of stuff out there and saying, "see, we're right because of all this stuff."

You must admit, they make many strong points about it, the author must've been completely convinced it was fake, therefore letting people know how he feels.

Honestly, when I heard about the video, I thought the same thing. And when I watched it, I believed even more.

Without reading his list of points, the vid looked fake. It was choppy in times, and the head looked too 2d, especially when he was holding it up like that.
