Tater has touted that he has a new weapon and it is believed he is in favor of smaller secret groups vs the Mahdi Army. Could this be the weapon and could the Hezbollah Brigades be his new insurgent group instead of the Mahdi army?

#12  From Web Video Title:
"hezbollah brigades in iraq :
Ashtars rockets (the flying IEDS)the dangerous newest weapons,attacked the us american base in our base in kesra-atach in 7/8/2008,and we can see during the attack a spy blink is OUT of control."

I think they meant blimp. Maybe to mooselimbs the a spy blimp is a "blink".

Sounds like Inspector Clouseau.

#11  Basically the same weapon as a Nazi V-1. No general target, no real targeting ability, Purely a terror weapon.

Way to go Shit-ites, that'll convince peopel to join, killing people randomly including children.

#10  we should encourage them to launch these from their mosques and strongholds. Looks as likely to kill everyone involved in the launch as anyone else....

nice ME tech

The launch was purdy cool tho, I liked the way they covered pretty much all points of the azmuth.

#5  What was with the red circles? Were they highlighting rockets spinning in the air?

And the bonfire, did they set the launch devise ablaze?

Great kung-fu music.

#4  Wish I could find the link, but there was a video out last week of a flying p*nis which was eventually batted out of the air at some meeting or class of some kind.

#1  A "Flying IED" looks a lot like a small rocket with an explosive charge.
