That Wacky Hamas
Apparently, Hamas somehow got its hands on some Stinger missiles and tried to shoot down Israeli helicopters… except that Stinger missiles are programmed to identify and not fire on Apache helicopters. Seeing Hamas with our modern weaponry makes me think of a chimp with a gun: it can use it and be a danger, but it’s never going to understand it.

Hamas.
Monkeys?
Racist.

If a Stinger is smart enough to not fire at an Apache, can we patch that code to cause the Stinger to self-destruct in the shooter’s face if they try to fire at us? That’d be good YouTube material right there, I tell ya.

Lancelot Link, smarter than you average Hamas. Mada Hairy, their kind of girl.

Barak O-bah-muhh and the presidency: he can use it and be a danger, but he’ll never understand it.

Found this in the link at Jawa.
“…one Stinger surface-to-air missle was launched, but the projectile veered off course and struck a Hamas gunner squad.”
Look at how hard they’re trying to get included in lolterizt.

I wish there was video of this

Oh, let’s invite ‘em over to dinner. They can have all the stingers they want – in their salad course

Now that Obama has been president for a while, I’m kind of surprised there’s still conflict in the world. We were promised something very different.

This story makes me happy inside.

Finally some good news. ;=]

What we need to do is import a bunch more “stingers” to them. Only these will have a wacky guidance system that fires the missile a hundred feet in the air, flip around, locks onto the shooters body heat, then head back straight down. It should also take video, and transmit the images instantly to Youtube. That would be funnier then anything ever posted on IMAO, and IMAO is pretty funny.

now all we need to do is sell our missiles to everyone! we’ll make billions and then when we invade all the defenses we sold them will be useless against us ( assuming we only sell munitions and not the actual vehicles of course).

There is a God!!!!!!!

Someone is there to record absolutely anything and put it on the Youtube, yet no one, not even a left-wing college student human shield is there to film it and instantly upload it?! God must have been too busy laughing to come through on this one…
April 7th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I suppose a further enhancement would be a stinger that signals the helicopter’s IFF system with a big “shoot this idiot, right there!!!”.
April 7th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
A strong selling point for Apache helicopters as well!
April 8th, 2009 at 12:36 am
Im sure the stinger caused the aircraft IFF and tone to activate. I agree, too bad there isnt footage of this. Guess I’ll have to satisfy that wish by watching the vids of the hirabi’s dropping bad mortar rounds into the mortar tube with instant detonation… those are entertaining….. some dude in the back ground is always hollering allah fubar…. and the whiny ass music is playing and …….. BOOM ! No more mortar team…. and as the smoke clears … for just a brief instant.. there is the image of a smiling baby Jesus….

When that one trys to pretend his huey is an Apache, I hope he fails.
April 8th, 2009 at 11:17 am
Terrorist…..uh um oh uh…. I mean person of religious difference goes BOOM!!!!!
April 8th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Teh One will order a recall of those evil corrupt racist Stinger missiles. Those Stingers discriminated agaist HammAss. (HammAss isBarney Frank’s favorite islamic non-kosher terror group.)

There is a God indeed, #14:
It’s like a gift from the Supernatural: a cartoon where the Evil Overlord
BHusseinOHamas tosses a bomb out their airplane window, and “the wind” whooshes it back into their lap. Ooops!God is still in control, and will not be mocked.

I’ll bet Dick Cheney issued an order to make sure that Stinger missiles are programmed to identify and not fire on Dinosaurs from his assassination squad.

Frank, you have warned us about monkeys with guns before, do not belittle the threat now just because there has not been a monkey attack for a few weeks.
Of course, that sort of denying existence of an existential threat got Obama elected, so maybe there is a use that can be made of belittling the armed monkey threat. Perhaps by denying Hamas exists as a terrorist organization, and using their headquarter buildings as uninhabited bombing targets (since there are no terroritsts in them).
