Fine insurgent camera work... *User discretion advised*

look at how freakin white their arms are, do those guys ever get any sun up in Canada? And the guy in the blue t-shirt with the Rolex watch wha?...and that over weight outta shape pecker-head in brown to the left swaying back in forth on his massive body.

What about in the end when they are praying? They're standing with their hands in front of them like a bunch of protestants before a ball game. If they were Muslim they would have knelt. Hell I could make a better propaganda film than that and I wouldn't even have cover everyone's head in a hood.

So--all those supersonic cracks from incoming fire were faked?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering too. Maybe a mash-up of stuff that -is- real and some fake stuff?

1) Yes. While I didn't agree with the invasion of Iraq, the coalition forces there now are keeping the country from sliding fully into a genocidal civil war. More respect is due to the people keeping this from happening than the people trying to make it happen. You can talk about shades of gray all you like, but moral ambiguity does not exist in this case.

2) Except for the still shots at the end (which I stopped watching at), you don't see anybody get shot or die in this video. You see a poorly planned attack get decimated. This is different from a video of a sniper zooming in on somebody and then shooting them in the head, where you watch the soldier die.

A half assed audio engineer can dub sound.

This video isn't fake...

I just watched it again and I'm convinced it's staged. Those guys are just too white to be living at around 30° latitude and in and near the Arabian desert. More likely Canada's Great White North.

#1: I'm pretty sure I can see olive trees in the background at the beginning.

#2: Airsoft bullet belts and RPGs?

#3: Where in Canada can you find a desert?

#4: "What about in the end when they are praying? They're standing with their hands in front of them like a bunch of protestants before a ball game."
CLICKY

#5: Arabs can have pale skin too (I've even seen blond and red haired arabs), also there have been numerous reports of Chechens in Iraq.

#6:You see the same cars in the after math as you see in the firefight scene.

#7:You see the similar PG-7 rounds in the after math as you see in the first scene.

#8: You see a dead man with a camera in his hand at the end.

Not to be argumentative about it bosco but, does that actually qualify it as authentic? Do you think they actually care whether a propaganda video is authentic or not if it slants toward their agenda*

*When they start showing body bags coming back from the War then I'll re-think their bias toward furthering the War and aiding in military recruitment.
