WoW Who were those guys pounding things in there heads .holy....That was the crazzyest things...Could hardly look at some parts.....but ,... I really didn't see any of our guys doing anything more than blowing up extra Iraq munitions...as martha would say,.."it's a good thing"..

Yeah it was a crazy video. There were some things in there that looked incriminating. They were poking around in a bullet riddled burnt out car. Also loading up a truck with bullets dressed as arabs.

These guys are the praetorian guard of the Bush administration in this incredibly dirty war. They're doing a lot more than shooting random people over there.

It doesn't surprise me at all.

What I am surprised about if this is happening though, how do they get through checkpoints like that, do they have a secret badge or something? I would think they might also make a mistake in their dress or something, or wind up in the wrong neighborhood. The MSM makes it seem that Iraqis have such a hard time getting around, especially with Militia Checkpoints as well...

How are the contractors dress like insurgents? Can you point it out?

I like how they cut out the part where the dude whacks out the dog.

Great recruitment video. And yes, that's all it essentially is.

Peace

Cochise security assisting EOD guys blowing up confiscated munitions.

Yeah, some had the scarves over their heads. I wear one on occasion, especially during dust storms. You have no idea how dusty this place can be on a normal day. Also provides protection from the sun.

Some crazy Iraqi's pounding stuff in their heads, and slicing their tongues. Could be during one of the Shia holidays for Iman Ali Hussein, who was beheaded in the 6th century or something like that. Shia's will do that during the holiday's, paying homage to his beheading.

On the other hand, could just be some crazy Iraqi's.

Wouldn't really say they're dressed as insurgents. It's more like they're contractors (who don't wear uniform) with clothes on and a scarf blowing up ammunition.

Yes, there is a "secret badge". Every contractor is issued a gov't ID card prior to coming over to Iraq. It's the same as a military ID card, except it says "Army Contractor", " DOD Contractor" or variations thereof, on it.

You don't go anywhere without it, whether it's on military aircraft, convoys, chow halls, checking into billeting, PX's or where ever.
