    The above link appears to show a man setting an explosive device to detonate inside a car, then casually walking away and into a truck driven by another individual. The car then explodes, and video captures people running to the explosion scene and placing themselves on the ground in positions that would suggest they're victims of a terrorist attack. Soon after, others are seen rushing to their aid and loading them into trucks in order to seek medical aide.

    It makes you wonder how many other incidents have been staged and picked up by major news networks, shown to the public, and used a fodder to fuel foreign intervention (which is precisely what these extremists seem to want). Thanks Obama.

    I remember approving a video on another site long ago, showing palistinians doing a similar thing regarding an Israeli attack.

    Thanks, Clarence Thomas. For voting for Dubya Bush. No Bush, no trillion-dollar grand Invasion of Iraq. They were a relatively peaceful country, until we showed up and destablized the entire region. Heck of a job. Mission accomplished.

    So stupid. I hope they had to pay the medical bills for the aid they got.

    Of course we don’t know this isn’t a “double bluff” and is actually faked to make it look like people setting up a fake bomb attack. Once you’ve recognised that such videos can be faked, you can’t really selectively believe some but not others without any other basis.
