Sometimes the propaganda is so obvious it’s almost funny.

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. At least 175 people were slaughtered on Tuesday and more than 200 wounded when four suicide truck bombs targeted people from an ancient religious sect in northern Iraq, officials said. (AFP/Wissam al-Okaili)

To make it even tastier, there’s another one from July 10, 2007, apparently featuring the same woman, holding another unfired round:

Actually they were found on a gurney at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

 

Send treats to the troops...
Great because you did it!

Somebody must have THROWN them, because they haven’t been shot.

[Shqipo]

“Bullet Magnet Woman”, the long lost sister of “Bomb Magnet Woman.”

[tobyhill]

That’s too funny.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Now, now, mustn’t jump to conclusions. They might have been shot from a slingshot. Everybody knows the evil US coalition forces carry those.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Her eyebrows are obviously painted on. Understandable, since this was a well-planned performance for media cameras and she would have wanted to make sure and look her best. But what’s with the matching stripe running from just below the center of her lower lip to the bottom of her chin?

[irishtenor]

Bush did it! that’s the only answer.

[Mr. K]

this woman looks VERY familiar...

Do they have her name? How many times have they featured her stories?

[stefanbatory]

I wonder if she’s related to green helmet guy from Lebanon or angry Muslim protester guy from Kashmir...then there was the real estate baroness in Lebanon last summer that lost multiple houses in bombing raids by the IAF...*rolls eyes*

[shield]

Not being ugly about the Iraqis however they lie about 90% of the time. Ask any soldier that’s tried to work with ‘em.

[shalom aleichem]

Right. Sen. Spector is on his way

"I wonder if she’s related to green helmet guy from Lebanon or angry Muslim protester guy from Kashmir.."

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

ROFLMAO!!!!!

[vetvetdoug]

A man would have to be in heaven with this woman and Helen Thomas in a menage de trois!!!

I think they are tatoos.

[Gorzaloon]

We had a Yuppie scumbag move into our town. "There is a rifle and pistol club near my new house, but I'll squeal and sue until they close it."

He called the police to report "Bullets hitting his roof". They got there and checked the gutters...

To find pristine unfired ammo he had thrown there.

In a perfect world, he would have been cuffed for filing a false report, and fallen down the stairs a few times on the way...

Sadly, the Local Finest had all they could do to keep from laughing.

[Redcloak]

Her eyebrows are obviously painted on.

Those are tattoos; quite common in that part of the world.

[tgslTakoma]

Ping to another example of the MSM's incompetence (or perhaps collusion with the Islamofascists?)...

[BlackVeil]

Those marks are tribal tatoos - common with older and traditional Arab women. She will have them on her hands as well.

They are very handsome decorations and universally admired - probably you are jealous!

[LukeL]

Yet many liberals will take this as proof we are killing civilians for the heck of it.

[RDTF]

very pristine... anyone see Oswald?

[GovernmentShrinker]

Interesting. Don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard about those before.

[Weeedley]

Some Marines are in the brig due to lying Iraqis testifying.

I wouldn’t give a bucket of dog slobber for the whole of the population.

Wasn't that a song by Santana?

[Yardstick]

Gotta love AP’s credulous caption.

[BallyBill]

Does Baghdad Bob have a mother?

[Gondring]

Actually, that's NOT where the problem is. The problem is taking the word of an enemy, believing them...and putting our troops in a brig. The US Marine Corp needs to be protecting their own warriors...this isn't taking place in the other branches...now why would that be? Somethin' smells to high heaven on all of this. Goes much higher and I suspect it's murtha who is heading this agenda against our Marines [there are others involved here].

[stefanbatory]

villans for the new batman movie?

[Billthedrill]

We were also having a pretty good laugh about this one over here. Now, I've been looking at the second picture, which is older than the first. Quite a nugget she got there. It looks to be bigger than a .45 but not as long as a .50 BMG, maybe hardcast, polished, pristine, and unfired...which is a good thing because there's a little tip of a ballpoint pen sticking out the top. I'm thinking that's one of those special bullets that writes your death warrant before it zaps you.

“But what’s with the matching stripe running from just below the center of her lower lip to the bottom of her chin?”

Maybe she fell for that old “try and run this quarter down you face trick”

[Roscoe Karns]

[Chieftain]

ROFLMAO DITTOS!!!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

No, Karl the Evil One Rove did it. He secretly flew into Iraq and threw the bullets at her because he has tattoo-envy.

Karl, you rogue!

Next they will be accusing you of Swiftboating John Kerry. Oh the horror of it all.

[Dumpster Baby]

[irishtenor]

We have idiots here who move under the flight path near the airport, then complain about the noise.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Is anyone here able to identify the type of these bullets? Are these used by our troops?

[dynachrome]

Someone on the other thread about this said that the tattoos were so her hubbie could pick her out in the herd.

[ASA Vet]

I’ve seen each of the threads posted on this for most of the afternoon. See keyword “bullet” I think I found and marked them all.

[concretebob]

Are we even sure this is a man?
Look at the hands...and the eyebrows are painted on in both pictures, but are different.

[dearolddad]

We used to call that 5:00 o'clock shadow.

[concretebob]

The first image appears to be a 5.56 round.
PING
These guys might be able to tell for sure.

[weegee]

BUMP, the lying liars in the media have attempted another obvious hoax.

[dearolddad]

We have idiots here who move under the flight path near the airport, then complain about the noise.

How true, How true.

[girlangler]

“I wouldn’t give a bucket of dog slobber for the whole of the population.”

LOL. I’m stealing this line. I love it!!!!

[Billthedrill]

The pair she’s holding look to me like 5.56 NATO cartridges, which are what the standard issue M-16 and M-4’s shoot. Could be wrong, but I have a small stash of ammo that sure looks similar...
