must be part of the Palestinian Baby Boomer generation.

I love that clip.

.

Sounds like a flock of chickens in the background.

"son",i told him,"mortar boards not mortars..."

but he wouldn't listen to his old ma.....and so he ends up looking like a cat in an Ottawa restaurant..

Oh those baby jihadis "They blow up so fast".

Priceless one liner Kate. :D

I think they should sell these creeps more defective mortars and small arms ;-)

Workin' on it.

hey when they say their kid is the da bomb, they really mean it.

Yes, God is Great!

That clip gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling all over.

He has blue eyes! One blue over there and the other blue across the street.

laughing @bleweyes. haahahhaahhahaahah

blew eyes! LOLOLOL!

so what category does this casualty fall into?

friendly fire? nope.
martyr? nope. wasnt intentional.
IDF staged? nope. they dont do that.

sigh . . . .

the good news is we now know what 'allah akbar' stands for.

Video now promoted to ExYouTube. We can only hope that our own friends and colleagues likewise archive our last moments on video and make them available globally. 15 seconds and all that...

It is sad actually. The mom's get government money when the kids do the suicide bombings. That is why it is encouraged, their kids are their meal tickets. Sort of like our baby bonus, except the kid has to be dead.

I'm simultaneously tickled pink and horrified.

One thing's for sure: the guy who filmed this is pretty twisted to let it end up on YouTube - does he realize how bad it makes them look?

Actually, it's not unheard of for arms caches that are uncovered to be "doctored" and then left as if they had escaped detection; in this case, our friendly neighbourhood jihadi appeared to have dropped the mortar round tail-first down the tube, so unless the arming fuze was previously deactivated or "somebody" had inserted an instantaneous lead from the propelling charge to the payload charge, there doesn't seem to be any reason for it to have acted this way. Either way, problem solved. When the South Africans were fighting the various guerrilla groups in their neck of the woods, they would often swap out their Dutch V40 grenades (little things about the size of a golf ball) with fuzes that would fire the grenade as soon as the spoon flipped off. Again, problem solved.

Although I can't find the site right now, in the first context that I saw this video, it claimed this was a result of mortar detecting radar, as opposed to faulty munitions.

I can't attest to the authenticity, but I really like that story better so I'm sticking to it.

In any case, the comments here are truly hilarious.

> One thing's for sure: the guy who filmed this is pretty twisted to let it end up on YouTube - does he realize how bad it makes them look?

Hamas fanatics aren't noted for their rational thinking. They probably use this video for recruiting.

It seems like only yesterday that we were using the kids as human shields,how time flies.

Baby boomer,that's priceless.

I love happy endings!

One blew up the coo coo's nest.

Probably the rounds on the ground next to the mortar blew up. not neccasarily the one in the tube.
Poor handeling, but all is well that ends well!

One more death added to the death toll inflicted by the Israelies.

If I was a Muslim living in Canada and saw that video, I'd rip off all identifying clothing, head to the nearest church and convert.

I saw that clip before and someone said it was the faulty Chinese or Russian rounds they use

"so what category does this casualty fall into?"

Workplace accident, of course.

Now we know why they get 72 vigins (or is that a 72 year old Virginian)upon entering paradise. One virgin for every piece.

That should be virgins.*

Those cute splodidopes sure do come in all skills and (small) sizes, don't they Mrs. Achbar?

Maybe they'll end up getting vegans.

It does seem that the center of the fire ball is well back from the actual round. Nice shooting or rigged round.
All good to me.

Hmm, one piece for every vegan. I don't think they'll take the bait. Or was that bite?

This reminds me of a blow up Ann Coulter doll I saw in the gay sex shop window of the Saddleback Church Bookstore.

Apparently there's a new lesbian sex act called anncoulterizing. Something about 2 annoying lesboes who talk non stop about how great conservatism is during sex.

Any chance we could get one of those launchers into Blow Up Annies hands?

Stirred:
I suppose you bought one during your "Holiday" shopping.

Found the link: Little does Achmed know that new mortar shell tracking technology can track the trajectory of a hostile round and fire a retaliatory shot to precisely the spot from which the hostile shell was fired from. There is only one catch to the requirements. It requires the hostile mortar to fire 2 to 3 rounds. Can anyone speak to the credibility of this?

Ghost of Ed,

I bought one to give away as first prize for the most macabre attempt at childish humour post by a conservative after watching a person lose their life on a You Tube Video.

ok, my turn , the next rounds on me !

You need it more than I do stirred. I have a real woman. By the way, how do you feel about the thousands of people who died (live on television) during the 9/11 terrorist attack?

Chevy 65
LOL. Good one.

Stirred, you're not even making sense anymore.
A blow up doll at a gay sex shop? Are we supposed to care? Honestly, no one here gives a rats's hind end where you bought your current girlfriend (boyfriend? whatever).

As for the topic at hand, the blue eyes comment by Darrell was WONDERFUL, bravo! Here's hoping that the guy does get 72 Virgins, keeping in mind how many computer nerds there are in the world...

"Give that man a hand."

>>>Can anyone speak to the credibility of this?

Artillery tracking has been around for a while. It is only small jump to mortar tracking.

See this link for an example

Thar He Blows!

Great stuff.

Baby boomers

hahahaha!

Irene
Stirred made sense at some point?Must have missed that one.

It certainly is nice to see Hamas keeping up the high training standards we've all come to expect.

Glasnost, I think you're talking about an anti-sniper weapon that was being used in the Balkans. Some sort of microphone arrangement hooked up to a tank cannon, It would allow the tank to put a round on the sniper's position about a second or two after he fired.

There's also some kinda fancy schmancy radar lashup the Yanks have, lets them zap a missile or artillery shell in flight with a laser mounted on an APC. Easy to replace the megabuck laser with a computer aimed mortar.

Most likely the Israelis just back-track the smoke trail of the first round with a range finding sight and drop a round on it. On a still day in the desert the exhaust plume would be like an arrow in the sky with a caption reading "Bad guy is here".

Pointing yet again to the high state of Hamas training. You do not sit there, holding the frickin' tube with one bare hand (because they get HOT when you shoot 'em, that's a rocket going off in there) and lobbing multiple rounds until the other side finally drops one on you. It is also better to keep your head back from the business end of the mortar, they go BANG really frickin' hard. Like a gigantic shotgun, really.

It is good when the enemy is stoopid.

I think stirred is off his meds. strange fantasy world.

or he had to type really fast when mom was coming down into the basement.

Pop goes the weasel.

In keeping with the spirit of the situation and all.

*
some years back, i read about an experimental counter-sniper rig that used audio triangulation
to automatically fix and fire a tripod-mounted weapon at the source of the "irritation".

one issue, of course, was that it threw down on any likely audio source... couldn't distinguish
between tangoes and good guys.

apparently... we have the technology.

I don't see them as human so it's pretty easy to enjoy watching them die.

Glasnost; Technology that tracks back on incoming fire has existed at least as long as the multiple launch rocket system. Since these have been around for a decade or two, I've got to think there are systems for use against smaller stuff like mortars rather than big stuff like artillery pieces. Anyway, for your viewing entertainment..

stirred; grow up. If you can't have a good laugh at someone who accidently kills themselves while trying to murder someone else, who can you laugh at?

You won't see that on the CBC.

Neo, that's probably the one I saw. One of the problems they has was terrorists shooting out of apartment windows where the people were still at home. They had to downsize from tank guns to 20mm so as not to make too much of a mess.

Nice guys, terrorists. That's why I don't mind seeing them blown to hell on youtube.

you're it!

come on now how about a little empathy /////

Wait a sec - that's a home-made rocket. How can it possibly hurt anyone?

Empathize with someone trying to murder innocent people? Yea... I'm going to go with not a chance on this one, but I can muster up sympathy for the intended targets of those attacks. I am with the Phantom when it comes to people who kill themselves while trying to murder others, they dont get sympathy, they get 72 (preferably 40 year old male) virgin jokes.

h.ryan, you're right, stirred has never made sense, but I maintain my statement about stirred's plastic boyfriend (or girlfriend, whatever, I'm not here to judge).

More please!

Due to dwindling supplies, limit of 2 virgins per customer.

We need to package a bunch of those and sell them to Hamas... think about it... getting paid to help them martyr themselves

You could make a mint producing suicide bombers fit all sizes, backpacks with explosives. Just make sure there defective & blow up once donned immediately. Virgins would be at a premium.

Would you like a career as a terrorist?

Would you like to be able to fire rockets?

Would you like to be a suicide bomber?

Hamas has opening for you NOW!!!

Great health benefits, dental plan and holiday pay!!!

Yes!!! Be JUST like Achmed!! Achmed, as you can see is an EXPERT in launching rockets!!

You can be JUST like Achmed.....Wait a sec....oops...

You can REPLACE Achmed!!!

Apply NOW!!! Please...We are running out of volunteers....Join now and you get a brand new rocker launcher...From Iran....How about we include a virgin.....

Ha Ha.
Someone stumbled upon this above.

I know how to stop terrorism.
Convince them that they don't get 72 virgins. They get a 72 year old virgin. Suicide bombing cease!

Vid is gone. :)

He blowed up good, real good.

A prime candidate for a 2009 Darwin award. I'd like to thank that nice little twerp for removing himself from the gene pool.

For those of you that missed out on the youtube video here is a link you can watch this at.

http://www.moron.com/media/417/Moronic_Terrorist_Blows_Self_Up/

You can't watch something like this just once now can ya!

If any one still have this in their temporary internet folder or saved if one can share on

http://www.liveleak.com/

with no worry of term of use violation this kind of video is what they are there for. this would be great.

Good thing he had his safety sandals on or he could have been REALLY hurt.

Late to that party, and now the video has been removed...darn...

Can anyone tell me what was in that video or if I can watch it at some other site?

jim - I agree - just 2 virgins............ well OK then - how about a couple of "used-to-be" virgins?

Out of those, are we? Right then - how about a goat or camel virgin? None of those either eh?

Right then - we'll have to settle for de-clawed cats and de-balled dogs.

Death can be a little tough sometimes,

Thanks Canuck.

One less terrorist infecting the gene pool.

...eliminating the musselman!

The reality show "Wipeout" is looking for more skull-busting events to go with the big red balls, dreadmill and the clobbering wheel. Survivors advance. Losers get a free Darwin.

I do hope that these acts of destruction have a carryover to the afterlife- like maybe when presented with the cast of 72 virgins they will then, to their consternation, realize the folly of having blown off their genitals.
Here's a solution I'm surprised no one has yet suggested- why don't we just assign 'Designated
Suicide Bombing Zones' and let these miscreants
go to town? We could even construct tall buildings (silhoulettes maybe like in those old Westerns, because they're not that smart) to let them fly into, if that's what turns them on.

You're missing something important in this Muslim martydom reward system.
This is from an ex-Muslim:
It's 72 virgins on 72 beds (do your math).
Personally I think Mohammed's promise included 72 beds to a room, 72 rooms to a mansion, etc. etc.
If you're a lunatic and delusional, go all the way.

The shell was American made.
The Democrats have demanded tighter regulation on their manufacture.
The UN has demanded that Israel pay restitution to the terrorist's family.

I find this video very comforting. It clearly demonstrates why the inevitable military showdown with Islamists is going to be like shooting fish in a barrel. Nothing undermines the possibility of riforous military discipline more than religious fervor.

Not to worry, Omar. We;re coming for you! LOLOL

Been away for a bit, so glad I saw this. Words fail me, which is unusual. Just...SWEET!

I love this video. I've had it on my favorites for about 2 years.
Hey mooohamet,them virgins ya'll are talkin about are retired catholic nun school teachers, have a nice eternity.
I could do without the whole lot of em too. We can drill through 5 feet of glass,whats the big deal?
military.com, or
protroopstube.com, has lotsa great stuff.
