mushy101: Absolutely, as soon as I read that phase the tab closed. I don't call them terrorist analysts, I call them 'Lie merchants'.

I find it sickening they could pin the blame on a video game, of all things. There is an extremely volatile and long, violent history in that region. But nope, let's just blame video games, since that's the 'cool' thing to do this generation.
I think you can also use that label on Fox News itself. They're so divorced from the truth as to appear to be an asylum in a TV studio.

My first thought when this news was aired was "oh bloody hell not Chechnya again". Chechnyan rebels seem to feel they have enough reasons to commit atrocities as it is. I doubt that a game so utterly divorced from reality that it seems realistic to Fox News is going to be very inspirational to them.
an interview with Walid Phares, a Fox News terrorism analyst, who suggested that terrorists might be using virtual games like this one to train for real attacks.

Teabagging terrorists running around with knives is a scary thought but I wouldn't worry; they're more likely to all end up camping in a remote corner of the world somewhere with a sniper rifle and no skill, singing to themselves in a pre-pubescent voice.

You might be onto something there. Maybe it would be better if terrorists did use games for training.

Marine 1: "I don't get it. The dumb bastards just ran from cover to cover. They seemed to be expecting the others to be doing the shooting for them but none of them did. Now they're all dead without even one of them firing off a shot."

Marine 2: "This is totally CODBLOPS."

The thing that scares me most about this thing is that faux noise people are starting to infect not only other stations but other countries

If enough people talk the same bollocks for long enough it seems to gain a sense of legitimacy regardless of how baseless it is.

Well if that wasn't true we'd never have the wonders of religion.
Video games make people violent and destroy lives. I once spent a week smashing my head into brick walls to get the money inside and eating strange mushrooms. There were dead turtles everywhere. The nightmares still come...
"Russia Today" has a ,uh,reputation of peddling bullshit, Conspiracy Theories in particular. To call them Russia's answer to Glenn Beck would be hitting the nail on the head.
