Holy smokes, I didn't know our troops had lost all of their rifles? Maybe we can all chip in to get them some new ones?

Local gun club was contacted by police because a neighbor complained that
bullets were striking their house. The home owner had recovered bullets
and showed the police the bullet holes.

Police presented the bullets to the gun club, where the owner pointed out that
the bullets had no rifling marks.

It was quickly determined the home owner fabricated the story.

Well, that's a hell of a story! I don't know what's more disturbing, the Iraqi woman being such a dumbass, or the person that wrote that copy having absolutely no clue that what the woman is claiming is utter nonsense.

Then loaded the rounds and shot them at her house.

I wish I had about 5,000 bullets hitting my house... damn milsurp is getting expensive!!!

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) source

Well they are 5.56mm instead of 7.62x39.

This thing that is really amazing here is how many people do you think that photo was sent to before it was posted on Yahoo?? How many dumb pieces of shit had to see the photo and say "oh my god that poor women" and pass it on to the next phase for posting on yahoo.

Unreal. It just angers me.

And that's the reason our guys are having problems. The 5.56 is just too damned weak to do any damage when you're throwing it. It'll never take a bad guy down with a single hit.

ETA: Thanks for the link. Here's my comment:

How stupid are your "reporters"? The picture of the poor Iraqi woman holding bullets that "hit her house" is ludicrous. Did anybody bother telling her, "Sorry, but those rounds have never been fired."? Are our soldiers now running amok in the streets of Baghdad hurling unfired ammunition at unsuspecting citizens? Here's a novel concept: find some reporters with at least half a brain and without their head up their ass and you might be able to get some quality journalism out there.

Nope, Pravda

Obvious what the "reporter" was trying to do. It's another manufactured story envisioned and executed ENTIRELY by said *useful idiot*. They know the vast majority of sheep by now know what the 5.56 FMJ AMERICAN ammunition looks like.

It's another pure fabrication hit piece on the US military to help the cause of the ~~commies~~ democrats.

Had a numbnuts anti-gunner do the same thing here. His house was close to the range, he called the cops, said that his house was getting hit with rounds.

Of course he also called the local media too.

The cops get there, he shows them some 30.06 cartridges, cops laugh asses off for some time.

Press gets there and ask cops if anybody was hurt, cop says "only if he cut his finger opening the box of ammo".

I'll have to check, I think the cops were going to try to charge him.

This story is just typical leftist anti-Americanism.
