Oops - Glocks Everywhere In Iraq

Oops

Someone reached down and picked a shell casing up off the ground. It was 9mm with a square back. Everything suddenly became clear. The only shell casings that look like that belong to Glocks. And the only people who use Glocks are the Iraqi police.

Hmmm - an Iraqi journalist and her new Glock

BAGHDAD With chipped, painted fingernails, Nahrawan al-Janabi picked up a cartridge and slid it into the chamber.

"Like this," she said, loading her new Glock pistol with a loud, satisfying click. "You see, like this."

NY Times: But three types of American-issued weapons are now readily visible in shops and bazaars here as well: Glock and Walther 9-millimeter pistols, and pristine, unused Kalashnikovs from post-Soviet Eastern European countries.

IraqSlogger:  About two-dozen gunmen armed with PKC machine guns and Glock pistols arrived in several vehicles at the mosque around 11 a.m., according to eyewitnesses.

MNF-I: During the raid, joint forces found two AK-47’s, four magazines for the AK-47’s, one Glock pistol, three pistol magazines

WaPO on a private security firm:  four Western vehicle commanders with M-21 assault rifles and 9mm Glock pistols, and 16 Iraqis with AK-47s.

Maybe they should re-name it Iglock, instead.

i call bullshit on the details alone. a "square-backed" 9mm round?

uh-uh. i own 2 glock 9mm's - a full-size, and a concealable - and both shoot regular old off-the-shelf ammo. meaning "NOT square-backed". when i go shooting with my buddies who shoot non-glock 9's, you can't differentiate my brass from theirs. (well, ok, i draw little smiley happy faces on *mine*. but aside from that...)

if TNR and "scott thomas" are lying about their iraq stories - as so many liberals have been caught been doing already - (remember "army ranger" jessie mcbeath? remember how the liberals couldn't stop talking about HIS reports? right up to the moment they were proven to be lies?), one way they'll be busted is in the smaller, less-well-planned details they use to flesh out their lies. to the best of my knowledge, there are no square-backed glock 9mm rounds. that makes that part of their story an easily-proven lie.

why should we listen to proven liars? proven liars with an obvious ideological agenda?
