I finally got round to watching this gun camera footage, and I've got to
say, for those who are still reluctant to view it for taste reasons, it's
worth watching if you've been disconcerted by the hype around it. I
expected to see a couple or three Iraqis shooting the breeze around a
tractor, talking about the coming harvest before being massacred by the evil
Americans. What I saw was three guys obviously up to no good who knew they
had been observed and were trying to ditch the evidence (I call it as an
SA-7 or one of later Soviet MANPADS, it's too long to be an RPG launcher
without the warhead and too thin to be an AK in a case as some have said).
I infer from their behaviour that they expected a ground patrol to come
along and question them. Unfortunately for them, no.

All the best,
Andy
