AFP Pulls A Reuters!
This is simply too funny. Uncle Jimbo over at Blackfive has some amazing AFP photographs. The most recent shows a woman holding up two "bullets" that she claims hit her house during an American raid. If this is true, American forces are in real trouble. Oh, not for hitting the house. But the cartridges (including bullets) that the woman is holding are unfired. Do you realize what this means? If the woman's claims are true, that is:
American troops are physically throwing unfired cartridges!
Even more entertaining are the pictures that follow that appear to show a woman holding up a bullet - only that bullet never hit anything. And it does not appear to have a copper jacket - which casts doubt on what it is. The one after that shows what may be an actual fired bullet but also what appears to be an unfired hollowpoint pistol cartridge. (Hint: American forces do not use hollowpoints, which are banned in warfare. It is a court martial offense to be caught with one in your possession according to my son.)
All of these were supposedly the result of American actions.
Fauxtography: it's not just for Reuters anymore.
Also, read the comments, there is much more. But my favorite comment was this one:
Absolutely inspired.

I gotta say “Waaaaaitaminit!”
Those are people who are bright enough to build IED’s, EFP’s, nuclear plants, rockets, and so on.
They can’t tell the difference between an unfired round and a spent bullet? Or think the average smuck here can’t?
They must think we would believe that SUV’s are causing the martian ice caps to mel….uh…. That the hottest year was (1934) was caused by backyard BBQ….um….. That the polar bears are going to die of starvation because the penguins……nevermind.
