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.

Paranoid? Nope, just intelligent.

I bet these are the new “extended range” rounds. You fire them from a .50 cal casing, and then, as they near their maximum range, the second stage fires to launch the actual bullet. I understand, that with a Barrett, they will take out an armored helicopter at five miles.

That's the ticket, those are sabot rounds.

Even a teenager from Finland caught the old media faking the Russian flag raising on the North Pole by using a submarine / Titanic shot from the recent movie.

Well, to be fair, someone did toss them out of the truck window and against her house as they drove by. Thanks Geo.

I tell ya, it really looks to me like she's simply holding a pen and faking consternation. Yeah, this is definitely a staged photo a la 'Palliwood' - 'Jihadiwood'?

[dighton]

Ping to the most ludicrous jihadprop ever.

[Brucifer]

LOL!

[Redcloak]

Those are some bad-ass troops... It’s one thing to shoot the bad guys; it’s another to manually insert the bullets!

[Mr J]

IMO, that picture and its accompanying caption perfectly capture the combination of ignorance and bias prevalent in the mainstream media.

[abb]

Romenesko has put it on his webpage. That’ll guarantee lots of newsies see it.

Looks like 6.8mm SPC to me?

[Wicket]

FOFL.

Thanks for the laugh.

[SevenofNine]

HEY MONK come in here I think they lock your other thread LOL!

[Stonewall Jackson]

Blast! Now the secret is out about the top-secret slingshot corps.

[trooprally]

I don’t know. Looks like in your pic the MSM’s make up artist may have added black eye shadow.

[pgkdan]

Not only is this woman a liar, she’s a stupid liar.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Notice the blue tattoo line on her chin. An ID mark so her owner can pick her out of the herd!

[george76]

Thanks.

This should make our point ( again ) for a while : The media lies and makes up the rest.
