Little foul language at the very end. It is amazing how different day to day existence is over there.

They just hit everyone to get them out of their way? WTF!???

Wagner 01-25-2007 05:21 PM

That or stop your convoy for an IED. It is insane over there when you see footage not drawn by the media.

What's an IED - some kind of an enema?

noncom23 01-25-2007 05:24 PM

OK. What was that all about?

blondboinsd 01-25-2007 05:35 PM

LOL Are you shocked? I'm sure not

trueX5er 01-25-2007 06:03 PM

How nice of them.

Doing that certainly does not help our popularity over there. Baghdad is a city with 8 million people. Same size as New York City. So yes, there is traffic there. How would you feel if a country we did not like (let's say Iran, or China) had tanks rolling through the streets of New York, and if you were in the way stuck in traffic, they simply bumped you and your X5 off the road? I certainly would not be happy about it.

It would be ok if it was a slight tap, but if anything more than that causes damage to their car or injures them (whiplash or whatever) then it wouldn't be ok.

improvised explosive device

homemade bombs and jury rigged explosives used to destroy vehicles or personel

I have seen police vehicles in the states do the same things also if you look (at least with the quality of this video) they appear to be nudging them lightly enough it doesn't even damage the bumper on the cars plus if you notice many people just get out of the way as the humvee drives through I doubt they just did this without warning I am sure there was a notification given more vehicles moved out of the way then got hit in the video
