Dumb pic of the century!!!

" An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her
house [emphasis added] following an early coalition forces raid in the
predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City."
The only way those bullets hit her house was if someone threw them at her house.
You see, they've never been fired. For those of you unfamiliar with firearms, only the little copper-looking tip is the actual bullet. The larger, cylindrical casing below it holds the primer and the gunpowder that propels the bullet out of the firearm.
Nice going, AFP! Proof again, that members of the MSM are often dupes for terrorist propagandists, and know very little about things military.
Look at it like this: That picture had to have passed through at least several news people, including AFP's editors, before it was posted. An AFP editor chose that picture as representative of the printed story. And none of the people in that chain knew anything about guns, or if any of them did, they got so excited about posting another picture in the antiwar genre of a crying mother holding a dead baby killed by Americans/an old woman crying because of the Americans/ an old man carrying a dead baby, killed by Americans/ an American- injured child/ an American-bloodied child/ -- even if a story is only about the price of tomatoes in Baghdad -- that they missed an in-your-face obvious bit of propaganda, courtesy of the Mahdi Army.
Now, for all you latte-sippin', gun-fearing, military-hating, anti-US, lefty journalists, below are two pictures that will help you determine whether a bullet held up by a fellow propagandist has, or has not, been fired:
Bullets that have been fired and have hit something
Bullets that have not been fired and have not hit anything unless they were thrown, not fired, at something.
