So you probably saw amiable Islamist rogue and part-time internet snuff-porn star Abu musb al-Zarqawi hammering away with a US made M-249 SAW on Fox TV last week. When he wasn’t waxing philosophical, finger in the air - what is it with these guys? -¬† with a US made M4 carbine up against the bulkhead at one point. The whole thing struck me a little odd, AK’s being the usual weapon of insurgent preference, but who knows? Maybe it’s about some primitive need to steal the enemy’s mojo, or counting coup, or maybe it’s a way of trying to look a bit more like the real tough guy on the block only - check this: DRESSED ALL IN BLACK!
Which, how cool is that?
Except that it appears that dork-boy, no matter how sociopathic he might be, needs a bit of professional weapons training. Check out the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor - he needs help to clear a jammed round, fires the -249 into nowhere’sville before passing it off to a bud who passes it off to another who picks the thing up by the barrel. Mere moments after he’d sent all those rounds into the nothing.
Burnt hands? CUT!
Oh, yeah: He’s evil and he’s awful and I hope we catch him soon. It’s just amusing to see Billy Badass goofing in his New Balance kicks.
This is what we’re up against?

saw it. i laughed at the part where the sooper-dooper jihadist grabbed the barrel of the SAW.
man, he dropped that that thing faster than a ham s’amich. i didn’t hear any audio, but i’m guess he also screamed like a little girl, too.

best movie I’ve watched all week. Beats MI:3 hands down.

As I commented over on a favorite neighbor’s site: Lex, you aviator types like to say, “I’d rather be lucky than good any day”. This guy isn’t as big a boob as we would like to think. The dumb ones we have already killed. But just the same, it is time for his luck to run out.

Having just looked at the vid and commentary, he obviously looks like he is in need of a rest. I suggest a GBU-38 suppository. It will pick him right up.

Zarqawi to be caught?…
I’d prefer to see him capture alive — Zarqawi that is, not John Kerry. My guess is that there’s all kinds of things he knows about the ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda (still talking about Zarqawi here, not John Kerry) and that when…

Zarqawi looks like a sandwich shop owner. That is definitely a beer gut goin’!

The graphics are hilarious - what’s up with that purple pulsing eye thing? And the use of slow-mo - nice touch.
The only thing it’s missing is a good catchy title or theme music.
It would be this funny if it wasn’t for the fact that this lunatic keeps murdering our soldiers.

For me the best part was the look on MG Rick Lynch’s face while he was doing the color commentary on this video on the Pentagon Channel Thursday.
