    Default Clip from Homeland

    This is a TV show, yes, but this small clip couldn't be more true. This is Peter, a CIA operative reporting back to the big wigs on his work in Syria. They want to know if the program works, of the strategy works over there. Then Peter explains to them about the Muslim strategy...

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    I love this show. It's changed scenery from season 1 to now just starting season 5. But it almost all revolves around the CIA and various adventures throughout the world. I'm curious where the story goes now as it's about to highlight Syria, I think.

    The video isn't playing (copyright issues). Do you know which episode/season it was?

    That's odd, still playing for me, even after refreshing and going to the site too. Not surprising though, can't even use 40 seconds for purposes of discussion?

    Anyway, it was the only episode so far this year, season 5 episode 1

    Oh well, I guess I can see it myself but not others. I just got this email, and FOX was the one it appears? Oh well.

    For others, the point of the video was that this field operative - he told them that the Muslim extremist strategy is clear, that for them this is the "end times" and that their goal is to die for the caliphate and usher in a new world without infidels.

    Also, you sure the guy's name is Peter? I looked in IMDB and the only character named Peter in that TV series is this guy (not the same actor).

    Yup, that's him. Peter's been a big part of the entire series. He was also an 'almost' love interest of the main character, Carrie. That was him giving the speech here, and you see Many Patinkin in the scene, who plays Saul.

    Ok, but it didn't look like the guy showing in the youtube vid you posted (that wouldn't play for me). The actor that plays Quinn looks a lot younger. Nevertheless, I'll try to find the episode in question.

    Thanks again.

    Yeah, that sounds exactly like the Iranian meme currently. Let's hurry up and start Armageddon so we can greet the Caliphate and have our 72 Helen-Thomas-lookalike-virgins sooner, better than later. Boy are they in for a nasty surprise!

    Maybe the picture is from an earlier season? He's a good actor, at least in Homeland. And it is weird, the town he reported back from was Raqqa, which is one of the places that Russia just bombed, I believe.

    Thats reality too. Thats exactly what they believe and why they plan on destroying first the little Satan(Israel) and then next the big Satan(USA)..
    Our problem is rather than addressing this reality head on and with direct and serious efforts to destroy them we try to appease them!
    And even in some cases promote them! Its total insanity because they will not abandon that divine cause..
    They must be destroyed!!!! -Tyr

    Rush talked about this episode today and played the audio clip. He agrees that it exactly describes the real life current situation.
