Terrorist Propaganda Picture of the Week.

An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City.

HA!

[LibLieSlayer]

She is a jihadist! She is lying for our enemies... burn down her house!!!

prolly. from the dimensions, and being brass, i’d guess they’re 5.56.

[rineaux]

all they’ll have is pet glass.

LOL.

Only another bit of treason in a media war that has seen staged “war crime rape photos” run in the Western press.

Heads should be rolling (after trial of course). Treason should not be tolerated and our press agencies (Yahoo is domestic and engaging in a bit of propaganda here) are supporting it.

It looks like two new Winchester Short Magnum rounds....cant tell w/o seeing the base/primer. Definately, the one on the right is not 7.62mm x 51mm .(.308 cal.) NATO...the cartridge is too fat.(.308 cal.)

I'm guessing .223/ 5.56. way too short to be .308, neck and seating depth are all wrong for 7.62x54r. most WSM rounds are alot fatter in the base and have a much sharper angle on the shoulder- besides, who'd have WSM rounds over there?

“Agence France-Presse
Well, there you go. Why would the French have any idea what a spent shell casing looks like?”

That’s why France lost all its wars... !

Too funny!

George Bush is in a rowboat in 200 feet of water when he sees a little boy drowning..he gets out, walks across the water, and gets the little boy to land and safety..

MSM headline: BUSH CAN’T SWIM

[river rat]

Uh, those are NOT bullets..
She is holding cartridges with the “bullet” still inserted.

The “bullet” is the little pointed thingofamajig on the end that travels down the barrel and into the target.

Of course a French newspaper wouldn’t know this distinction - since most Frenchmen threw their weapons down without ever firing them....

Is this the same woman in her grieving posture?

[ChildOfThe60s]

Looking forward to seeing this on CNN...........

On second thought, I’ll sit outside and wait for the pigs to fly by. It’s more likely to happen.

[Earthdweller]

Oh wow..she does have the same ring on in that pic.

[ArrogantBustard]

ROFL!!!!!!!

[delphirogatio]

Details, shmeetails! They’re in the middle of a propagandistic rant. They can’t be bothered with such trivialities!

[crazyshrink]

Super secret intelligence sources (john murtha is his name)tell me that these are the new super secret “silencer bullets”. They make no sound so as not to alert others nearby that an attack is happening. They are used to promote surrender and withdrawal in Iraq.

[ArrogantBustard]

Hey shrink ...

I never believe anything I see or read in the MSM ... I'm convinced that they're trying in every possible way to deceive me; to get me to believe things that aren't true. I think there's a vast network of "reporters", and "anchors", and "editors" in on it, worldwide.

Am I paranoid?

[Doctor Raoul]

Not quite. Different hand and it looks rounder.
