More AFP Photo Shenanigans
This is supposed to be a photo of a woman’s home after coalition forces raided it. Notice anything funny about it?
A foreigner got her home destroyed; I always find that funny.
You mean like she’s still standing?
First they claim we’re “shooting” unfired bullets at them, now they’re blaming us for their poor housekeeping! What, you want us to give you free maid service?
Those appliance parts – are they pieces of broken AC unit? And check out that chair! Our guys didn’t do that. Looks like her stuff broke on it’s own and she’s getting read to move.
how about the lockers in the background? This looks more like a repair shop than a home.
Why does she have lockers in her living room, and what is she storing in them?
I notice the caption doesn’t DIRECTLY say coalition forces did this, just that this was damage following a raid. Kinda like ice cream and miniskirts.
This seems like something Buck the Marine might have said.
So, are they are staging phots on the old set of “Sanford and Son”?
True story: I once asked a French biologist why she moved to Quebec. She said, “Because everyone in France is CRAZY!!” She was serious.
Is it possible this French AFP organization is actually a humor group? Or are they just demented and think the rest of the world is stooopid?
What’s funny about it? You got a woman standing in a dirty house complaining… instead of CLEANING. Get with the program, lady.
This type of abuse is not a joke. Im sure if it happend to you in your home you would not be laughing about it.
Two words lady…..Merry Maids.
This one is finally starting to make me laugh, Frank. What is she saying with her hand raised? “Missour Frenchman, I aim vry hot in my burkha. Culd yu pleze mak my airr contishoner wurk aginn?”
1) Who has lockers at home?
2) Who keeps their washing machine in the living room?
3) Did she just move there? Why are there cardboard boxes all over the place? Does she shop on Amazon a lot?
Hey Jamal-
If I gave someone a reason to raid my home, I’d be thankful that was all that happened; they coulda thrown unspent ammo in her general direction!
I doubt she was just home alone, minding her bidness, when the big bad infidels randomly decided to do some cottage tumbling.
“This type of abuse is not a joke. Im sure if it happend to you in your home you would not be laughing about it.”
Jamal-do we know this is abuse? The point being–she could be completely innocent, in which case I feel sorry for her–but the caption doesn’t specify that — there’re families over there helping out the guys who blew up 250+ people a couple days ago. If the army did have a good reason to believe her family was one of them, then tough titties – raiding homes and looking for stocks of weapons is necessary to prevent another 250+ people from getting killed.
To provide background to this, this http://hotair.com/archives/2007/08/15/credulous-photojournalism-of-the-day/ has been making the rounds the last couple days. I won’t say this isn’t insensitive, but it makes people on our side less likely to believe the AFP.
Nice digs! How’s that whole Islam thing going for you? It seems Allah’s kind of let you people down a bit? What’s up with that?
That’s gotta be it! That’s why her hand is up in the air, ussjimmycarter! She’s bitching out Allah for letting the Americans break her air conditioner.
What? She lives in a storage room? What a load of crap this fauxtography is. Arabs are always the victim… Boo hoo.
Hay, Jamal ever notice that after the western world ditched swords, through improved technology, for muskets, cannons and now smart bombs the arabs really haven’t been able to conquer anything?
You have to admit ussjimmycarter does have a valid point especially when all the mullahs keep saying the all the world belongs to allah.
You guys can’t even make good swords anymore and if it weren’t for oil, you couldn’t get the weapons that your arab brothers buy. The World wouldn’t give the middle east or those in it the time of day.
What a very, very lovely home she kept. Yup, looks like the AP’s got yet another propaganda photographer. Perhaps we need to look at more of the submissions by Wissam Al Okaili.
You know I don’t know which pisses me off more, the fact that I couldn’t claim it as a legitimate tax deduction, or the fact that the lady apparently didn’t take very good care of the AC unit I donated to “Keep Things Cool In Iraq”.
You can just make out my initials in the very lower right corner of that broken cover. Ungrateful heathens! I sure as heck ain’t donating my old vacuum cleaner to “This Is Iraq Keep It Clean Folks” now, that’s for sure. Look at that mess.
Have fun ;)!
Does Iraq have hockey teams visiting now? I would think hockey would be the last sport played in Iraq.
Man, they stole that picture from me and photoshopped the heck out of it.
It’s from my first dorm-room the day after the day after finals finished. Notice all the beer labels on the locker in the background.
Oh, the original had Michele Malkin in a bikini in it.
This may be difficult for you to grasp, but perhaps the reason her home has lockers in and looks unusual is that she is POOR and lives in IRAQ. News flash: Places that aren’t America don’t look like America.
^ Gotta be Sarcasm Man or somebody close.
Looks like they found a Blind nun on the street and directed her into a frat house and now she is trying to find her way out!
This may be difficult for YOU to grasp, but the reason her house looks like a shithole, is because it’s a shithole. It coulda looked nice, with no ‘Murrkins invadin’ all over the place and whatnot. All these cats needed to do was get rid of the dude torturing the kids and feeding his enemies to lions. They were too weak to do that, but stick a camera in their face and tell them that the seditious US Democrat Party is behind them, and now they boo-hoo ‘cuz some Joes tossed her hovel. Imagine if Mooktadaa! had some intel about infidels in her hovel. Think she’da had a house left to put her decapitated body in? I should think not.
#23…this may be difficult for you to grasp but possibly the religion of Islam has a direct impact on the fact that these people are stuck in the Ist century. Let’s see…women (50%) of their population are treated worse than cattle…Islam teaches a “oh well what will be will be it’s all Allah’s will” philosophy…which dooms it’s followers to a fatalistic future. C’mon! Quit being such a dweeb!
And don’t those Muslims learn fast? She already has her hand out for some “compensation”.
Gee, Jamal, ever think that’s why you losers are stuck in the 8th century, and not because of the Joooooos? Of course, your backwards death cult probably has something to do with why you’re so “oppressed”, too.
And, Jamal, a phobia is an irrational fear. Fear of Muslims, who threaten to murder anyone who disagrees with them, is definitely not irrational. Muslims have demonstrated quite often enough how blood-thirsty they are, so you can take your “Islamophobia” and shove it up your goat-buggering arse!
Is that a Star of David hanging on the wall?
According to her literally spotless burka, the woman is probably yelling at the photographer to stop taking photos of her dirty utility room.
