Sayyyy, I recently got an email from a prince in Zimbabwe that needs to get some money into the country… You could make a pretty penny helping him out.

Whatever. This is old news. Not everyone in Iraq can read. There is/was no escalation of force, i.e., non-lethal, green star clusters, smoke. Even our troops are told to not just open fire. Most contractors are driving civilian vehicles so they blend in - of course Iraqis end up driving up on them! This video is questionable as are the others. What's worse is that this bullshit ends up doing more harm then good when our enemies use it as propaganda. Don't be lulled into thinking that the insurgancy ranks are filled with blithering idiots. Oh, and before I get the "how would you know unless you've been there?" speech let me state that I do know, I've been to that shithole twice.

1) One of the videos “The taxi cab” is on a road that has been cleared and blocked for convoy use. If you look to the left, you can see that. The road is blocked and all the vehicles on it should have been protection, transports or at a full stop.
Wonder why they smoked the Mercedes? It was only going about 60 and closing on a vehicle with lights and signs.
2) In video with the crowded street(Ear Ache), they did drop a white smoke grenade. The vehicle slows for a few seconds and then drives past at a high rate… Wonder why they fired on it?
3) In the “coalition right” video, the rounds are put into the ground and across the hood. There was very little time to react to a complex traffic situation… I’m guessing that the whole “signs and lights” thing went right over the car drivers head (as did the rounds fired) Sometimes, a total cluster fuck is the best outcome you can hope for.
Unprofessional is a word that comes to mind… Along with unprepared.
4) The “White Van Man” video looks like a VBIED attack to me. The guy keeps coming even after a full mag of warning shots, a flat tire, a shot up windshield and a radiator blowing crap everywhere.
Hell, I don’t know. Every one of those videos could have green and yellow stars floating just out of camera range. One thing is certain, these guys are dipshits for putting it up on the web.
