It appears that one of the Military Intelligence Agencies can't tell the difference between a Military Weapon and a folded Stretcher being loaded into the back of a UN Ambulance.

1) Military Intelligence - a misleading term?

2) If that is the best they can do with their superduper spying equipment, do we really want to let the Military run around with Live Ammo anymore?

Robin:

I am terribly sorry, old chum...but wot the fock are you talking about? Do you think the whole Mudcat peers over your shoulder telepathically when you see these things and ought to magically know what you were watching?

I was peering over his shoulder!

Some grainy film footage of a suspect device being loaded into a UN marked vehicle. Was it a rocket launcher or was it a stretcher was the premise of the debate.
Are the UN guilty of aiding terrorism was the question. Was the vehicle a mocked up UN vehicle?
I think the answer was it was a rolled up stretcher and no they're not.
Right back to Robin's shoulder, don't make any sudden movements I'm drinking hot tea.

I saw the piece of film that the original poster refers to, in my opinion it was not a rocket or rocket launcher.
I have carried MILAN Anti Tank Missiles, they are heavy!
the guy in the film was running and carrying the thing in one hand, this might happen in Rambo, but not in real life.

1) I've heard of Milan, but not a MILAN!

2) What the hell is a MILAN?

3) Not so much who gave John one, but, what did he do with it, cause he apparently doesn't still have it now, or does he?

When I was a kid, I always wanted a rocket powered stretcher!

Look out milk monitor, I think I'm gonna sneeze!

There are other sorts of rocket launchers, to be sure. But I think John is spot on.

I have carried Milans as well, but they are tank armour busting guided missiles. ( I also fired one live one JoHn)
The Palestinians are using home made devices, lighter but still I suspect not as easily handled as the object in the film.

"Days of Penitence" !!!

pen·i·tence    Pronunciation Key (pn-tns)
n.

The condition or quality of being penitent; regret for wrongdoing.
Synonyms: penitence, compunction, contrition, remorse, repentance
These nouns denote a feeling of regret for one's sins or misdeeds: showed no penitence; ended the relationship without compunction; pangs of contrition; tears of remorse; sincere repentance.

I thought it meant being sorry oneself, not making your sworn enemies feel sorry!

~~~~~~
Ah! Looks like the 'rockets' have turned back into 'stretchers' now again...

I'm not sure I could ever again trust such oxymorons who try that sort of lie on - one could end up in a war in the Middle East, or believe that people might throw their children overboard!

Maybe the rocket was ill, and that's why it was being carried on a stretcher.

And they keep selling us that same bridge in Brooklyn, Fooles.

Have you bought your ocean-front property in Nebraska yet?

It's tiring and time-consuming to wade through the "mistakes" to get to the truth. It eats up resources.   Tw

Actually, since they built the Syndey Harbour Tunnel, there's this old rusting bridge that nobody wants... send me your bank account details...
