Cnn The War Report Download Zip Version CNN 10 is a 10-minute digital news show that serves a growing audience interested in compact on-demand news broadcasts ideal for. Forza motorsport 6 download. Today's topics are the U.S. Government shutdown, a vote concerning the Brexit, the remains of a World War I-era submarine, and a teachers' strike in California.

The War Report is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga (C-N-N). The album features the singles 'L.A., L.A.', 'T.O.N.Y.', 'Illegal Life' and 'Closer'. Tragedy Khadafi appears on more than half of the album's songs and served roles as both producer and executive producer. Despite its strong underground overtones, the album was a commercial success, listed on 1997's Hip Hop/R&B Top Five, and certified Gold in the US.

Significance and impact[edit]

Considered a classic by fans and critics [1], The War Report's signature sound was distinctively underground and hardcore for its time, a trademark that garnered street credibility for the group. The unique chemistry of Noreaga's unorthodox lyrical delivery, combined with Capone's streetwise slang and Five Percenter references, established the duo as a household name within the hardcore hip hop community. Furthermore, the album created a large and devoted cult following for the group and launched the solo career of Noreaga, who subsequently went on to achieve significant mainstream success (most notably with the Neptunes-produced club anthem 'Superthug').

More importantly, The War Report is often credited with reviving East Coast and hardcore hip hop, signaling a return to realistic and gritty hardcore street aesthetics (defined by unapologetic tales of violence and drugs) and spelling an end to the surrealistic, ostentatious, and narratives of mafioso rap. [2] Beginning in the end of 1996 and throughout 1997 (during the commercial height of Puff Daddy's pop-oriented Bad Boy Records during its Arista Records years), mafioso hip-hop gradually lost its critical acclaim within the underground scene from which it originated. As it crossed over into the mainstream, the concept was becoming increasingly generic (as seen with the hip hop supergroup the Firm, which rhymed almost exclusively about the mafioso life). Upon the release of The War Report, however, Capone and Noreaga brought new life into the gangsta rap subgenre, becoming an instant underground phenomenon that foreshadowed the rise of similarly styled emcees who went on to cross into the mainstream for the remainder of the mid 1990s (i.e., Royal Flush and Mic Geronimo), into the late 1990s (i.e., DMX, and Ja Rule) and into the following decade (i.e., 50 Cent and Jadakiss).

The success of the album managed the group to make a sequel titled The War Report 2: Report the War. The album was originally scheduled to be released on June 15, 2010, almost exactly 13 years to the original, but it was pushed back a month later to July 13, 2010.[5]

Why the war in Iraq was fought for Big Oil (CNN Liberal Spin)
Cnn The War Report Zip

CNN ^ | March 19, 2013 | Antonia Juhasz

Posted on 03/19/2013 7:34:06 AM PDT by Ennis85

(CNN) -- Yes, the Iraq War was a war for oil, and it was a war with winners: Big Oil. It has been 10 years since Operation Iraqi Freedom's bombs first landed in Baghdad. And while most of the U.S.-led coalition forces have long since gone, Western oil companies are only getting started. Before the 2003 invasion, Iraq's domestic oil industry was fully nationalized and closed to Western oil companies. A decade of war later, it is largely privatized and utterly dominated by foreign firms.

From ExxonMobil and Chevron to BP and Shell, the West's largest oil companies have set up shop in Iraq. So have a slew of American oil service companies, including Halliburton, the Texas-based firm Dick Cheney ran before becoming George W. Bush's running mate in 2000. The war is the one and only reason for this long sought and newly acquired access.

Gee once we conquered Iraq the oil should have been flowing to the US big time as these nasty oil companies would be exploiting the resource. Last time I looked the US was importing most of its oil from Canada and Mexico and I doubt Iraqi production is even at prewar levels. Apparently US oil companies aren't so good at pillaging as CNN would have us believe.

Yeesh.

BTW, I'm wondering when Ms. Juhasz will get around to the writing about the European oil interests that started lining up for exclusive contracts in Libya after the Obama/Sarkozy intervention there?

I'm not holding my breath.

Then why are gas prices so high?
I never knew a 17-zip vote in the UN security counsel to take out Saddam was a UN trick to get oil.

Right. And now gasoline is $.75 per gallon at the pump, right?

Big oil?
Then why are gas prices so high?
I never knew a 17-zip vote in the UN security counsel to take out Saddam was a UN trick to get oil.

If you believe any of this progressive revisionist history about the war in Iraq, I have a bridge that I would like to sell you, or maybe you would prefer some swamp land in Florida.

If we fought for big oil, why didn't we just take all of their oil?

We were too busy handing out bottles of ink to bring in the Iranian controlled Shia into power. Oil now flows both ways between Iraq and Iran. Nation Building and Smart Power is all the rage.

If the war was fought for oil we were soundly defeated.

Absolutely..We spent trillions of the American treasure, in addition to thousands of dead/wounded Americans..And we didn't even get cheap gas out of the deal.

I'm actually not used to posting articles on freerepublic, so I thought I actually had to type in the link itself after the excerpt.

To the extent that the events of 9/11 were about oil then I could
go along with the oil conspiracy explanation of the Iraq invasion
and not lose sleep.

The Moonbat Players, the comedy troupe from MSNBC, which
includes that handsome young fellow, Racial Madcow, is broad-
casting a program which explains why the US invaded Iraq
(oil, hubris, oil, Haliburton, and did I mention oil?). I can't
help but think there was a real simple reason why Iraq was
invaded. I asked just what bin Laden and the other Jihadists
want from the West? Report after TV report told me the Arab
Muslims wanted the West and especially the US out of their
part part of the world. No military bases, no cultural influences,
no nothin'! We ignored the demands of the radical Muslims
so they took out buildings and a few thousand people on
our shores to get our attention. The response of President
Bush and the US was not what the Jihadists expected. Ba-
scally, GW told the radicals 'If you are going to attack Amer-
icans and American property on American soil then don't
expect to see less of us in the Middle East. Expect to see
more of us.' And they did.....And how many ORGANIZED
MASS attacks from the radical Muslims have we seen on
US soil? Just about none. The moral of the story is that
radical Muslims understand power. GW Bush was right
and invading Iraq was a damnned legit war.
Thank you very nice
