"The insurgents main priority would be what??"

I don't know mate - I'm not asserting or defending a hypothesis - that looks like its your job ...

I just took a close look at the footage and the device peering round the corner is without any shadow of a doubt a camera.

I can see the lens which is about 1 and a half feet long, and I can see the camera itself at the end. Then the operators arms begin at a different angle.

An RPG would be held over the shoulder and is more than 1 and a half feet long.

Of course if your hypothesis is corect that that is what was going on, then it might make more sense to point the RPG, however, that isn't what ios on the video.



"3. Check the video all you want and tell me how close the Bradley AFV's and Humvees had to get before you saw them on camera,"

How long do you think they were in contact with the Humvees etc before they saw the insurgents.

They don't have to have a camera trained on them the whole time to know where they are.

Usually Armies coordinate their activities Teribus, especially when it is one persons job to cover another person - like the helicopter and the humvees.

So your argument that their knowing wehere the humnvees was proves that the Van wasn't on the road is easily scuppered.

They weren't watching the humvees, their focus was on the crowd of mewn and on the square which is why the Van was a surprise.

Teribus - who says it was a family day out - kids still went to school during this time - and to mosques etc etc etc - they were just going somewhere mundane as part of their attempts to live their lives despite the occupying invadres presence.


"Why did they not show any interest in picking up weapons? Because they never got a chance to, because where the weapons lay they thought was still within the firing arc of whatever weapon it was that had killed their colleagues."

Bollocks - they picked the guy up and then they tried to drive away as soon as he was in the van to get him to a medic.

As they tried to turn the van round and go they got pulverized.

This fact is clear and obvious so please don't bother trying to refute it.

"the occupants were removing evidence from the scene"

you expect me to buy that? they shot them for "moving evidence" - bollocks.

"4" - I won't bother quoting from this paragraph.

The whole thing is a masterclass in vivid imaginings.

Teribus is not only telepathic, but can lip read. His dog is called Lassie and his horse Black Beauty, and evry now and then the Littlest Hobo comes by to discuss the situation in Iran.
