Embed Cnn live video to forum thread.

That is a link to a web page that plays the video. You will need to link to the actual media file if you want to embed it into your posts. A generic "embed" BB code usually works:

I don't see an obvious source file in that code. Usually if a video site wants you to be able to hot link their content then they will make it obvious.
