#1 These people spend their time promoting an inside joke to the world that Lutefisk is actually edible.

A faked video is small beer.

#2 I can't find the image I want to. Instead, here's a picture of Winston Churchill. Please enjoy it while he's still having existed.

#3 Methinks a lot of the reporting from Kobane, including the Kurdish female heras, is the sign of MSM favor.

#4 grom, I think you are right. I spent 2 years in Erbil, and was in frequent contact with the KRG. I never saw a female Kurdish soldier (not saying they don't exist), but they are certainly not prominent. Also Kurds have distinct features, and don't look anything like the female billboard posters. Saying that, think it was you who noted a week ago, this is still effective PR.

#6 Part of the Bodyguard of Lies Snowy?. I was certain a lot of the stuff coming out of ?Kurdistan was way overboard. Still good to see tho, we need more propaganda actually.

#7 A symptom of the Left, like the 'synthetic people' in Obama's bios.
Facts are what they want them to be, reality need not apply.

#8 They could have just as well made a real film instead of a faked film. There are plenty of atrocities to film. Of course, there might have been more risk to themselves.

#11 Well a good picture of Winston is always good.

#12 First I saw the film, it was labeled Syrian Soldiers Shoot at Kid. When it made it here, it was ISJV Shoots at Kid.

I figured it happened, but everyone claimed it on their side.

You're part of the problem Lars.

#13 A discussion based upon a lie, is a conclusion based upon a false.

#14 So we'll assume anything you film from now on is totally faked, right, Lars?

So if you happen to accidently film something in the future that's Pulitzer-worthy, everyone will presume you faked it.

Nice life you've made for yourself. Idiot.

#17 Nearly posted earlier but shelved out of fear ("Please don't kill me!") of the Kurdish lobby (whose reports I've read with great interest):

I don't say the she-Kurds are slouches;
I'm sure that their bullets make ouches.
I don't say they're iffy,
But they sure look spiffy
With those pristine magazine pouches.

#18 I'm just tired that everytime someone lies to y'all, y'all complain that it's "Just Like Bigfoot."

#19 You would say that of course.
