    First of all, there is no way this has not been posted, but it is the first time I have seen it and it is freakin hilarious. Let me repeat freakin hilarious. This is for those who have not seen it.

    Second, it is noted that US troops need to drive like this because of IEDs (ie need to keep moving). Lets keep the serious stuff in D&D and enjoy Humvee in Iraq.

    Wow, that was nuts... exactly like a video game! First bumper cars, then the bus, then wrong side of the street, then the ROUNDABOUT!

    I have to say I cringed when that really young boy ran across the street. I realize that if you're driving through Iraq you really don't wanna stop or slow down, too dangerous, but I'd hate it if kids were getting run over.

    Looks almost as bad as driving down 1960 between I-45 and 290 on a Saturday afternoon. :D

    Seriously, that's gotta be scary driving through there knowing that if you stop for more than a few seconds, you will probably die.

    It's interesting, but far from hilarious, imo.

    That traffic looked somewhat organized. Try driving in Mumbai or Bangkok, that is real skill.

    Ok, that was pretty funny, but hell, no wonder they don't like us...Granted, it is an art form to tap the other cars out of the way and it is for a good reason, but still...:)

    I thought the insurgency was in its "last throes"?
