How do you know?
How do you know its fake...?
I agree with the comments posted above.
Isn't it strange the Bradley is doing absolutely nothing? No way the camera"men" and the terrorist couldn't be seen. Also the terrorist is unmasked... pretty dumb if it were real.
The Bradley is alone (is it usual for Bradleys to stand around unguarded and with no reinforcements?) Also no soldiers around.
The camera is rather close to the Bradley... and directly in front of it. No secondary explosion.
I concur that this was an abadoned vehicle (for what ever reason) that was used for a faux propaganda video.
That is a recruiting video.
JV, StillProud, either of you here to read the opening screens? Who put this out?
I will simply tell you that its a fake, and if you need convincing, it just isn't worth my time to make the attempt.
INVADE THEIR COUNTRIES
KILL THEIR LEADERS
CONVERT THEM TO CHRISTIANITY

EXACTLEEEEE
I will take your word for it being fake, but I would like to know the details.
I live in the SF Bay area. Most of the people I know are liberals who would really want to believe this is not fake. I would like to be able to counter them with some hard facts from someone who knows.
I would surely appreciate you spending the time to explain why this is fake to educate me so that I may educate others.
Thank you.
The cameraman is *precisely* in the line of fire of the main battle gun of the Bradley.
That's not where you'd stand if the vehicle was occupied.
Tell me what kind of asshole with a camera stands directly in front of a Bradley? Our own troops dont do that, for fear of accidents. That was an abandoned vehicle, there were no troops in it, none of our men around it, and it probably happened months if not YEARS ago.
It is being put out for the Congressional vote, and too many people are playing right into their hands with this garbage. I didn't want to discuss it further, because it is too obvious, and I didn't want to think that so many people were that clueless.
All you need do, if you are the one remaining person who bothers to explain anything to idiot liberals, is to ask them why anyone would stand/sit/lay or even HIDE directly in front of the muzzle of that weapon, if they thought anyone was inside the vehicle.
"In Shiite-controlled eastern Baghdad, a U.S. Bradley fighting vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb Saturday evening, set afire and destroyed, said spokesman Maj. Steven F. Lamb said. There were no casualties."
Must have taken tremendous courage for that mohammed worshipper to place those satchel charges under an abandoned Bradley. That must have scored him at least a BJ from one of the lesser courageous men back at the mosque.
Our you could suggest they try to "quietly" drag an artillery round and a jerry can of gasoline under a vehicle parked in a few inches of water without alerting anyone in the vehicle of their presence.
That is a terrible and insensitive thing to say. If you had any real understanding of the faith of these terrorists, you would know the filmed individual most likely scored free access to a cute young donkey or goat for his bravery.
I am practically ready to do violence on anyone who defends the veracity of that video in my presence.
I know we will overcome this bullshit, but it just makes me so angry that it is so easy for those bastards to dupe Americans.
I wouldn't know that because I haven't watched MSM news in months. And based on the knee jerk hysteria displayed by so many posters on this site (and I don't mean this thread which contains perfectly legitimate questions and comments), I'm not sure we ever will overcome their BS. People are just too lazy to think for themselves.
I can tell you right now that no one was in the Bradley. Believe me you cannot sneak up on a Bradley like this unless no one is in the vehicle. It must have been stolen or abandoned... Propaganda piece only...
hhmmmm......
It is infuriating.
We need to realize that this increased collusion between our media and the terrorists is and indication of how our troops are winning.
I think we need to speak more ambiguously of journalists. They work with Sunni terrorists who blow up American military vehicles. Their cooperation with terrorists undermines the public will to fight terrorism. They work with America's enemies.
If we just say and write these things calmly to them and the public, they will come unhinged and betray themselves.
