It was omitted on purpose. I took one for the team when video searching and didn’t want that POS getting stuck in anyone else’s head. Fortunately, AC/DC cured all.

You forgot (or maybe you didn’t)) Sting’s insipid “I hope the Russians love their children too” Another reason (besides being one of the reasons The Police dissolved) to dislike that tantric bastard.

It turns out to be very difficult to find info on the Under Siege mini-series but I found this of all places on an Arkansas website (apparently it was filmed there).

The gist is Iranian terrorist were using airplanes and truck bombs to attack the US. Imagine that.

America Under Siege getting the same treatment as The Path to 9/11. Shocka.

As for the videos, I’m seeing the embeds. Oh, Flooooooooyd, please come to our tech rescue.

I also get big blank spots.

As long as we are talking about Cold War classics I will move the conversation slightly to what I refer to as “Reagan’s Hollywood” which is of course when they were on our side. Does anyone other than me remember the outstanding “America Under Siege”? I would love to get my hands on this but the PC police have squashed it since the terrorist in there were…Islamic fanatics…the horror. It came out around 85 or 86 I beleive.

Hm. All the videos are showing up as big blank spots, so I can’t tell if you used this one or not, but might I humbly suggest Gary O’s “Shades of ‘45″
