Magic Bullets Discovered in Sadr City by AFP Photographer

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:

More women-displaying-bullets photos, courtesy the Islamofascist collaborators in the MSM...

Both photos are fakes.

In the first one, the cartridges where photo-shopped in (different sizing despite being in the same 'plane'. One on right, different lighting. One on left, slightly smaller. no reflections or shading on either casings or hand).

In the second, that is a ballpoint pen.

Indeed. Are you aware that we apparently payout $$ to families in Iraq if we do accidentally kill civilians, certain conditions no doubt apply to when we do this. Anyway it creates an incentive to lie about each death in hopes of collecting $$.

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

Yeah, those REALLY are magic bullets if they straightened themselves out and put themselves back into their shells after being fired at the house. Magic.

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

Same here. They think a death by a thousand cuts and years of whining will get their way. We have a sign up at the local muni. Airport map, almost a cartoon, showing a "Noise Sensitive Area", Turn 45° at 400'.

Can you get a siren for a piper cherokee? There is a glider tow plane there with a climb prop the weenies must really love.

Are both what the same? Both the rounds in the first picture look the same, shoulder, bullet length..etc.
The second image is positively a ball point pen.
How stupid does one have to be to think that they could get away with that?

Oh I'm sorry...I should be asking how high is up?

OK that does it...I'm calling for a total withdrawl of all troops.
There is no excuse for this behavior.
The very idea of our soldiers throwing bullets at little old ladies is beyond comprehension.

They have perfectly good rifles for that.
If they're not going to use the equipment we give them for the purpose intended, then by-God, they can all just bring their butts home. /sarc

How dare you all illuminate the story flaws. The only thing that counts is the intent of the propagandist—to portray American soldiers as wonton in-cold blood killers. For shame.
