Mpeg from Iraq, they can't hide ...

I do not know where this mpeg originated, but it shows a scary level of competence in equipment & personnel.

Here's the email note on the forwarded mail I received.

This is awesome.
This is unbelievable.

Turn on your speakers and watch this Apache stop
Iraqis from placing a bomb along the roadside to kill American
troops.....the Iraqis can not hear nor see the apache because it is dark
and they are 2 miles away...they are using infrared.

[slowhandluke]

My guess is that they are a lot closer than 2 miles, counting time from noise to hit, but then I'm not an expert.

[genefromjersey]

**** 'em all but 6 ; Save the last 6 for pallbearers.

OOORAH !!

[MEG33]

Wonder why I'm getting"windows player can't find"?

[Damocles]

Was the first guy carrying an explosive device? He literally exploded into a mist...

[SkyPilot]

Tried your site---nuthin.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Right on!

[slowhandluke]

It's not my site. Odds are it'll be
overloaded & not deliver shortly.

[Capt_Hank]

Thanks for the rush this morning. Beats coffee any old day.

[Monty22]

Probably no explosives, those rounds just turn a human size target into vapor.

[Proud Infidel]

AWESOME!

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Excellent!
Of course, as Rush always says:
"The primary purpose of the Military is to kill people and break things."

Job well done!

[American_Centurion]

This is video that was circulated a while back. The originating story with it was from ABC news and they took the slant that the Apache was engaging civilians.

Obviously the one who bought the farm by the tractor was unsheathing some type of launcher to defend himself with.

There was another mpeg circulating that had more video to it that showed for sure they were militants before the apache targeted them. I haven't seen it for sometime, but someone at FR knows where it is.

Have a nice day, and thanks for the morning boost.

[wheels]

WHO-HA, They should show this over Iraqi TV. Maybe some of those idiots would get the idea.

[Steel Eye]

>> placing a bomb along the roadside?

It looks like they are planting potatoes instead of mines.

Do they use tractors to plant mines?

[3dognight]

Yea, I'm sure alot of Iraqi's are out planting potatoes at night along roadsides.

[Damocles]

 

Whoa!  You aren't kidding...

The above picture shows a spent round from the Apache's 30 mm cannon. (A 9mm shell in front for size comparison.)

If that is what they were using...YIKES!!!

[BunnySlippers]

I remember it on TV a couple of weeks ago with the storyline about "fairness" as we (the United States) hold the technological advantage. It being as "the other side doesn't have a chance".

Which reminds me of an old Saturday Night Live skit with Rummy.

[aruanan]

Was the first guy carrying an explosive device? He literally exploded into a mist...

Hot chunks is what I thought.

[Damocles]

Let's try that again...

[Brett66]

Whoa! They blowed up real good!

[azhenfud]

My estimation is less than a mile at 4300fps.

Were those 50cal's you think? The guy who was under the large truck rolled out into the open before getting peppered again.

Buzzards gotta eat too....

[aruanan]

Yea, I'm sure alot of Iraqi's are out planting potatoes at night along roadsides.

Well, maybe the eyes on Iraqi potatoes are particularly sensitive to light.

[Steel Eye]

They are not planting anything. It is some sort of tillage equipment. You can see where soil has been worked. And working at night is not unusual... for farmers or militants.

[Mr.Clark]

I believe the Apache has a 25mm gun, not a 50 cal. I think its 25mm, might even be 30mm.

[azhenfud]

"It looks like they are planting potatoes instead of mines."

'splodin' taters?

[azhenfud]

What's velocity on 25 mike? 30 mike

[Happy2BMe]

This has been out for about a year now - but if you don't have it, it's a good archive to remind you what we are all about when it comes to the "Religion of Peace" in Iraq . .

(Warning - not for the squeamish)

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Blowing up........... Iraqis ping!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

The guy trying to hide under the truck........ imagine his terror in the last few moments. Well, the terrorists got some of their own back anyway. Good for the US military!

[MeekOneGOP]

To make one's viewing pleasure complete !

[wolficatZ]

Old news...(rolls eyes..)

How about something besides retreads in the audio/visual department around here.

Where were you months ago when this was EVERYWHERE on FR?

Have you seen the complete video? With the full beginning? These guys are were clearly combatants, and planting something under that tractor. Also seen are weapons. The edit on this link skips all that (I believe a liberal news station cut off the real beginning).

[alnitak]

You need to download from the Kazaa P2P network:

[B4Ranch]

Have you received any Spam from giving personal info to the website.

[alnitak]

I never gave them anything, I downloaded it from some other website.....wait a minute....still had the link:

[dvwjr]

You should always try to get as close to the original source material before commenting. Otherwise you get sandbagged by editing done by others. Here is a previous Free Republic Apache Video thread, read message number 30. Then you can see what the 'short' version of the video looks like compared to the entire 'long' ABC version of the video. You should note that depending on the ideological source, the short version is used to play up the 'harmless' farmers out for some late night tilling and smokes.

They were doing neither.

[Steel Eye]

No. I haven't seen the whole video. If there is a longer clip that shows what they were up to, and explains why the tractor was running, fine.... I'll take your word for it. All I was saying is that the caption. "placing a bomb along the roadside," doesn't fit the clip.

From looking at that clip, the tractor's exhaust is hot. So is the casing around the rear axel. It has obviously been running. Nor can I see a road anywhere. All I see is some fellows messing around with a tractor. It does look like the guy near the tractor has some type of weapon.

And, again, it is not that unusual to run a tractor at night. Particularly one with no cab, no air-conditioning and in an area where temps are regularly over 100 degrees. With the fan blowing the heat off the engine, toward the rear, it's almost unbearable to operate one in the daytime.

[jayef]

It's usually a Boeing M230. 30mm armor piercing round.

[Steel Eye]

Thanks for the link. And thanks for the advise about when I should or shouldn't post a comment.

[slowhandluke]

Months ago? Let's see, in January I was in MN for
some crisp -10F days hunting pheasants with family.
I've been recovering from a sarcoid attack
since then.

I did try a search using google against
freerepublic for this, but didn't find
anything. Do you have any suggestions on
how I might have found the duplication?

[Centro360]

Hello alnitak,

This may sound quite morbid, but could I get a copy of Daniel Pearl's execution video from you please?

Please kindly reply.

Thanks a lot.
