US military releases Zarqawi “blooper” tape
Maybe it’ll be submitted on America’s Funniest Home Videos.
The U.S. military command Thursday released previously unseen images of a video purportedly posted by al-Qaida in Iraq’s leader, showing him decked out in American tennis shoes and unable to operate his machine gun.
To be accurate, his M249 Squad Automatic Weapon jams while he’s firing it and he either doesn’t realise it or doesn’t know how to fix it. After trying to continue firing, until one of his henchmen walks on camera and pulls the bolt back, clearing the jam. Then he resumes firing. He’s also apparently wearing a new pair of black New Balance tennis shoes. The hell did he get those? I just don’t see this guy walking into a shoe store in downtown Baghdad and trying on shoes all day.
No wait, now I do. Add in some bored goons standing guard outside the store and its a hilarious mental image, haha!
*Ahem*, anyways, other bloopers include some of his men grabbing the recently fired M60 by the barrel. Yeah, grabbing a hot piece of metal. Real smart. Anyways, the above link to the MSNBC article has a link to the video. I’m waiting for Youtube to get it. ;)
