#4 Wish I could find the link, but there was a video out last week of a flying p*nis which was eventually batted out of the air at some meeting or class of some kind.

#5 What was with the red circles? Were they highlighting rockets spinning in the air?

And the bonfire, did they set the launch devise ablaze?

Great kung-fu music.

#10 we should encourage them to launch these from their mosques and strongholds. Looks as likely to kill everyone involved in the launch as anyone else....

nice ME tech

#11 Basically the same weapon as a Nazi V-1. No general target, no real targeting ability, Purely a terror weapon.

Way to go Shit-ites, that'll convince peopel to join, killing people randomly including children.

#12 From Web Video Title:
"hezbollah brigades in iraq :
Ashtars rockets (the flying IEDS)the dangerous newest weapons,attacked the us american base in our base in kesra-atach in 7/8/2008,and we can see during the attack a spy blink is OUT of control."

I think they meant blimp. Maybe to mooselimbs the a spy blimp is a "blink".

Sounds like Inspector Clouseau.
