Thats awesome. Considering they weren't fired. Someone must have run by her house and tossed them at her.

Now that is funny. What is even funnier is all the people that will see this and never realize just how stupid it really is.

What did they do? THROW the bullets at her? This is what happened, she was knitting when they opened fire on her, as they whizzed past her head she could tell what caliber they where, went done to the local gun shop to buy two examples to show the press…….YEAH THAT’S IT! LOL!

there are no gun techs in Iraq, so what do you do with all of this ammo? you've got it—throw it. or you could soak it in a bag of diesel, light it and throw it...you might get lucky. there are endless creative possibilities. I wonder if this woman has access to Ebay?

Notice how it says:\"she says\"?-not \"bullets that hit her house\".Nobody except her claims they were fired.

umm.. guys.. maybe the evil Americans have created weapons that throw bullets... did ya ever think of THAT!\r \r The thing is I doubt she did this all by herself. I wonder who put her up to it?

US press editor - \"Duhhhh...looks good to me...\"\r \r Elsewhere - press editor - \"WTF?! Caption that with 'Iraqi woman shows examples of types of bullets that may have been fired at & hit her house'\".

I've heard of throwing your gun at someone when you're out of ammo, but never heard of throwing bullets when you're out of guns. /scratches head. \r \r Maybe she's staring in Forest Gump 2?
