LiveLeak has video at "insurgents" loading chemical rockets and firing at US troops!
See it at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f233f86ee3
Slug reads "Insurgents fire chemical rockets at US base in Samarra. Filmed in Samarra the rockets were stated to have been targetted on US FOB McKenzie by Salahaldin Al-Ayoubi Brigades."
You can actually see them loading a thick dark liquid into the rockets. They are wearing their idea of chemical gear as they do.
This is a tremendous escalation and a violation of all Rules of Warfare... and no media, other than FR has reported it!!!!!!
Could also just be terrorist propaganda.
more terrorist video propaganda. remove the thread please.
Why do you have trouble accepting the obvious. Are you covering for them?
garbage and propaganda flick. Nobody would be filling chemical munitions while having exposed skin [on the neck below gas mask] and on the wrists where the gloves end. The only exception is filling binary chemical warheads, and that's way too sophisticated in comparison with the rest of the operation. Were it true, all the participants would by now need medical attention.
Who appointed you editor-in-chief?
I don't think they're covering for them. We'll have to stay vigilant against the onslaught of propaganda that will come in time to weaken our resolve and give our home defeatist ammunition.
How can we verify the footage being real?
The source isn't credible.
When the context is a group that sends people with the express purpose of pushing a button to detonate a bomb belt, I would not assume they really care about PPE equipment as much as civilized people. They could just be considered martyrs in on the operation.
That said, I agree that this bit is just garbage propaganda.
JV did a number of translations that details chemical rockets

You might enjoy this video better. warning-graphic content with a lot of dead bad guys at the end.
People with necessary technical skills [even if these skills are insufficient] are too valuable to waste as suicidal martyrs.
Someone said this video came from the same group who did the phony GI Joe--but I have no idea if this is true. Anyone else hear this? There was another thread on this earlier where this was discussed.
Come on, now...there's no WMDs in Iraq...(riiiight...)
ping
If it's propoganda I suspect that it's intended to encourage them rather than scare us. Knowing that it was real would only serve to strengthen my resolve.
Let um Fricken tryit!
Maybe just Maybe, those long lost WMD's will be cummin back down the Anbar Prov corridor via Syria to use them against our Troops!
So We can Finally Cut This Damn Monster at the Bud!
JV has documentation that there is chemical rockets.
