HEH: The AFP photo editor must have been fresh back from happy hour . . . .

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.

[george76]

Found this on Glenn's site which he refers ( eventually ) to AFP.

ht to Autonomist.

[wideawake]

That is hilarious.

[DCBryan1]

Blank for me. Did he yank it?

[CJ Wolf]

lol. They must have thrown them at her house.

[Brujo]

So did someone throw them at her house?

[snowrip]

Awesome.

[george76]

The only way those bullets hit her house was if someone threw them at her house.

You see, they’ve never been fired. For those of you unfamiliar with firearms, only the little copper-looking tip is the actual bullet. The larger, cylindrical casing below it holds the primer and the gunpowder that propels the bullet out of the firearm.

Nice going, AFP! Proof again, that members of the MSM are often dupes for terrorist propagandists, and know very little about things military.

Look at it like this: That picture had to have passed through at least several news people, including AFP’s editors, before it was posted. An AFP editor chose that picture as representative of the printed story. And none of the people in that chain knew anything about guns...

[Brujo]

Darn! Beat my post by 7 seconds...

[wideawake]

Scott Thomas Beauchamp admitted to firing the rounds.

[Osage Orange]

LOL!!

[ElkGroveDan]

Her again?

[george76]

Here’s a link to a screen shot of the original story, since AFP will probably soon remove the picture of the Mahdi actress and her magic bullets.

[doodad]

That is pathetic. Are they even US rounds?

[rineaux]

I think those are the new “automatic reloader bullets” I have been hearing so much about. There made by ACME.

[trisham]

Unbelievable. She’s also got man-hands.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Click on the link labeled “HEH.”

[dragonblustar]

You found her sister!

[reagan_fanatic]

Who’s holding up the ‘spent’ bullets - the Iraqi shotput champion?

[SeafoodGumbo]

[arbooz]

[Beckwith]

The link takes you to an empty page.

[longtermmemmory]

The MSM will change this to “woman holds up two SAMPLES...”

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Click on the highlighted word. I think it was “Heh”

[jazusamo]

LOL!

This is rich. I wonder if she heard the crack as they passed her ear, the velocity had to be at least 25 feet per second.

Thanks for the ping, George. It’s the laugh of the morning.

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

They’re huge! I wonder how big the cartridge is that those came out of! /s

[Unicorn]

BTTT

[dblshot]

This what happens when journalists have never received any firearms training beyond playing video games.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Unbelievably enough, after the last few years of their antics I now hold reporters and news editors in lower esteem than trial lawyers.

I have a feeling that, had the news media been a profession in his time, Shakespeare's line would have been "First, we kill all the reporters"

[george76]

These lefty editors still do not get it.

This should be good for a few more laughs.

[Hacklehead]

This hag knows as much about guns as most of the neo-coms in the MSM.

[Little Ray]

They’re not dupes. They’re co-conspirators.

[Lurker]

How do these idiots look at themselves in a mirror? I mean come on....

[Grampa Dave]

So, our side now has no rifles and have to throw unfired bullets at the enemy and "innocent" civilians.

More proof of how the dumb mediots never miss a chance to try and smear our warriors.

[rlmorel]

No kidding! It MUST be her! Heh, they fly her from the West Bank to Lebanon to Iraq...

I think she has achieved the same status as the looter guy...:)

Thanks a million for the ping...made my day too!

[george76]

It is stunning.

Every week the editors slip even lower.

[pierstroll]

another Pulitzer prize photo!

[george76]

The looter guy, the tourist guy...now this woman .

They are every where.

hehehe

[ElkGroveDan]

If you got to the AFP photo page on Yahoo, there is a whole series of photos of such women wailing because their sons were hauled away for being terrorists.

My guess is that this woman’s Little Abdul had these toys lying around the house and that’s how she came up with a couple of unfired rounds.

[agrace]

This is hilarious.

[DCBryan1]

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.)

[Hegemony Cricket]

They were prolly shot from that 22 gauge gun I read about in another MSM story

[manic4organic]

LMAO!

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

I expect the caption will be changed to “US Military leaves live ammo where children are likely to find it.”

[KarlInOhio]

lol. They must have thrown them at her house.

That's all the new Rules of Engagement allow anymore.

[FourtySeven]

This goes beyond not knowing anything about firearms.

I know virtually nothing about them myself, but it doesn’t take any knowledge to see that they weren’t USED at all! One could almost make the case that by supporting this story, one is actually pro-terrorist; because there’s no way anyone could make that kind of mistake.

[sweetiepiezer]

Too funny.

[AppyPappy]

Who is AFP?

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

C’mon now, you’re talking about media professionals. Show a little respect.
